The ultimate place to stay on your next trip to the USTA National Campus

Only four miles away from the USTA National Campus, Orlando Southeast Nona's newest hotel isn't just a place to stay—it's the ultimate hot spot for tennis lovers. A dual-brand concept from Hilton, this destination marries the hospitality strengths of the Hampton Inn and Home2 Suites in one location. 

"We're just a little over seven months in, and it’s thrilling to see our vision come to life," says Chris Heaxt, Dual General Manager.

With its sleek design, this unique hotel breaks the mold of typical chain accommodations. "Everything from the tennis-themed artwork to the layout of the public areas is uniquely ours," explains Heaxt. The bespoke design includes an outdoor pool with a relaxing patio complete with grills. There's also a well-equipped gym that’s big enough for a team's workout session.

With 150 rooms combined, this dual-brand concept hotel from Hilton offers plenty of options for visitors. "It's an up-and-coming approach in the hotel world, combining short-stay and extended-stay facilities under one roof, which Hilton is very enthusiastic about," adds Heaxt. This innovative approach caters to a diverse range of guest needs, from overnight business trips to longer family vacations.

Other amenities include spacious meeting rooms, an outdoor lounge area with fire pits, a laundry facility, and a market shop that offers everything from snacks to freshly prepared meals. Complimentary hot breakfast and WiFi are also on the house. "Our aim is to make everything as seamless and self-sufficient as possible," explains Director of Sales Kimberly Denmead.

In addition, it's a pet-friendly hotel location. And it's located close to a wide variety of healthy restaurants, spas, and shops — just a short walk from Restore Hyper Wellness which offers services like crypotherapy, IV drips, and sauna for tennis players looking to recover after a long day on the court.

As the hotel continues to weave itself into the fabric of the local community, it remains focused on expanding its services and amenities. "In about two weeks, we'll launch a shuttle service to local points of interest including the USTA National Campus, further enhancing our guests' experience," adds Heaxt.

The hotel already has partnerships with the USTA and USPTA, offering special rates which have quickly become a hit among guests.

Denmead explains, "We have a seamless booking system that caters to these guests, providing discounted rates that make staying with us both convenient and cost-effective." This strategic approach not only attracts individual tennis players but also garners interest from larger groups and college teams who find the hotel's offerings ideal for their needs.

Location is everything, and this hotel doesn't disappoint. Located just 20 miles from Disney World, Universal Studios, and the Orlando Convention Center and just 8 miles south of Orlando International Airport, it promises convenience for both families and business travelers. "You’re never far from where you need to be, whether it’s a day out with the family at Disney or a business meeting downtown," adds Heaxt.
