Did you know the beginning of the Rosen history starts with this hotel? In 1974, Mr. Harris Rosen took a leap of faith buying this hotel at a time when International Drive was still in the middle of swamp land and forest and during a historic oil embargo.

Over the years his staff grew and so did the amount of Rosen hotels. Today seven Orlando hotels run under the collective operation led by Mr. Rosen. But, who is Mr. Rosen?
