Holiday Inn Orlando - Disney Springs® Area is a privately held, 14-story mid-scale hotel property operating under an InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG) franchise as the only Holiday Inn located within the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. Founded around 2010 with a headcount of approximately 26 employees, the property offers guest accommodations in multiple configurations (2 Queens, King) across view categories including Walt Disney World Fireworks View, Disney Springs View, Pool View, and Standard View, with average rooms of 357 sq ft equipped with balconies, microwaves, mini-fridges, Keurig coffee makers, and 49-55 inch HDTVs with DirecTV.
