Company’s Three Convention Hotels Feature SONIFI® Solutions’ Cutting-Edge Technology

ORLANDO (March 12, 2018) – Long known as an industry leader, Rosen Hotels & Resorts announces another first today with the installation of SONIFI® Solutions’ world-class in-room entertainment. The 1501-guestroom Rosen Shingle Creek, 1334-guestroom Rosen Centre and the 800-guestroom Rosen Plaza are the first in Orlando to provide this upgraded service to its guests which includes interactive TV solutions and free-to-guest, over-the-top streaming via STAYCAST.

Now, through Google Chrome Casting on SONIFI, guests can project thousands of apps – from Netflix and Hulu to YouTube and international apps – from their cell phones to their guestroom flat screen TVs, which avoids the need to disclose password information. The flexibility, increased security and expanded on-demand content is at the forefront of what Millennial and technical savvy travelers want and what all travelers will come to expect in the near future.

“This new service is something we know everyone will enjoy,” said Leslie Menichini, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Rosen Convention Hotels. “For our guests whom we value like family, the future is now. We are so pleased to provide this extended new technology.”

SONIFI Solutions also will provide a new group messaging system. This will allow meeting and event planners to send mass messages, photos and video to their entire room block. Additionally, guests can use the new technology to order room service and to make housekeeping requests. The system also provides functions such as in-room check-out, which the hotels had previously provided.

In addition to the installation of the SONIFI System, the three convention hotels recently completed upgrades and enhancements to provide even more guest enjoyment. All three hotels feature multi-million dollar RFID locking systems for state-of-the-art security in guestrooms and meeting spaces and ballrooms. In addition, the AAA Four Diamond Rosen Shingle Creek’s lobby and Headwaters Lounge were recently refreshed with new vibrant shades of sunshine orange and deep blues and now also feature numerous electrical ports for guests to conveniently recharge electronic devices. Rosen Centre completed a sophisticated renewal of its 1,334 guestrooms including suites, which now feature calming, spa-like hues and plenty of tech-friendly integrations to keep business travelers rested and recharged. For a unique, turnkey event space, Rosen Plaza’s 5,000-square-foot 3NINE entertainment venue features full built-in AV, staging and lighting with no build-outs or expensive rentals needed.

Rosen Shingle Creek® Restaurant Receives Menu Update, Interior Makeover

ORLANDO (May 22, 2017) — From specialty sushi and sakes at Banrai Sushi to a perfectly prepared ribeye and fine glass of wine at A Land Remembered, Rosen Shingle Creek® offers an extensive variety of in-house dining options which are tremendously well received by guests. In fact, Mi Casa Tequila Taqueria, with personalized guacamole prepared tableside and hand-crafted margaritas, was so popular it was recently moved to a larger location nearly twice the size.

The latest venue to receive a new look is Tobias Burgers & Brews, formerly known as Tobias Flats & Watering Hole. Recently, the restaurant received a total makeover to the location, interior and menu. Exposed copper beer taps and metallic elements in the flooring and bar backdrop create an exciting, contemporary pub and the open food prep area gives guests a glimpse of the action.

The new menu focuses on gourmet burgers, premium whiskey and 18 local craft beers. Burger-lovers will face some tough decisions. Should they go with the zesty Avocado Pepper Jack burger, the Turkey and Brie with lavender honey mustard or veggie-friendly Farro and Black Bean burger on a toasted brioche bun? Seasoned fries or house-made salt and vinegar chips?

If you’re not a burger fan, or just looking for something different, Tobias has tempting salads, sandwiches and pub fare to please every palate, from a festive Cajun Gumbo to soul-satisfying Chicken & Waffles and Chicken Pot Pie. Starters – like Deviled Eggs and Loaded Chips – are perfect for sharing with friends and a cold brew or order a few for a meal. Fans of the previous restaurant will be happy to see a handful of specialty flatbreads still on the menu, including Turkey & Bacon with candied figs and Baja Chicken with roasted corn relish and guacamole.

The decisions don’t get any easier with the beverages. Tobias showcases the best of brewers from around the state. From Deja Moo, a unique milk porter with cocoa nibs and a hint of chipotle peppers from Tampa’s Hidden Springs Brewery, to Orlando Brewing Company’s Alligator Drool Pale Ale brewed and bottled specifically for Rosen Hotels & Resorts, there’s an ice cold beer to suit every taste. With so many choices, beer flights are a great way to find your new favorite. Tobias’s Florida Whiskey Flight highlights favorites from area distillers, including Palm Ridge in Umatilla and Timber Creek in Destin. The restaurant’s signature whiskey, a Single Barrel Reserve Bourbon, was hand-selected by the culinary team and bottled specifically for Rosen Shingle Creek® by Knob Creek Distillery in Kentucky.

In a creative twist, several dishes are infused with beer and bourbon flavors. Bourbon plays a starring role in the Bourbon Burger, a half-pound Black Angus beef patty topped with Kentucky Bourbon glaze and bourbon bacon. The BBQ Jalapeno Burger features a porter BBQ sauce, the Warm Bavarian Pretzel is served with ale fondue, and hops even find their way onto the dessert menu in the Guinness Chocolate Brownie.

“The response from our guests to the makeover has been overwhelming. They love the fact that they can sample some of Florida’s award-winning craft beers and whiskeys without ever leaving the hotel and enjoy a great meal to go with it,” said Leslie Menichini, Vice President, Sales & Marketing, Rosen Convention Hotels.
