History

The Travelodge at Lake Buena Vista opened on November 21, 1972. In 1984, Trusthouse Forte assumed management and the property was renamed the Viscount Hotel. In 1989, Travelodge resumed management and the hotel became the Travelodge Lake Buena Vista. In 2000, Best Western assumed management, and the property became the Best Western Lake Buena Vista Resort Hotel. The hotel was renovated in 2004 and has 2 outdoor pools. The hotel was purchased in August 2017 by Drury Hotels.[1] In December 2019, Drury announced plans to remodel the property, adding a new wing, expanding the hotel from 325 to 604 rooms. The hotel closed in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and is no longer affiliated with Best Western. It is under construction as of late 2020 and is set to debut in 2021 as the Drury Plaza Hotel Orlando Lake Buena Vista.[2]
