Waters Edge Bar & Grill

Bloopers Sports Bar
 

In January 2001 it was sold to Universal Partners LLC and was to have a 38 million dollars remodel and be turned into a luxury Doubletree Resort. 9/11 stopped all that cold.

EB Developers now own this property and are planning on building something called Citymark of Orlando, This site has since been removed. I imagine those plans have been scrapped. Click here for an archive of the site. I also found more info here.

Toronto-based Delta spokeswoman, Susana Petti said that, while Delta Orlando used to be part of its chain, the hotel hasn't been an officially flagged Delta lodging place since November 1991. This seems to contradict some of the archived webpage files I have found showing it listed until 1999.

Delta Orlando Resort Helps Save The Day For A Group From The Nba

June 13, 1995|By Leslie Doolittle of The Sentinel Staff

The arrival of The NBA Finals in Orlando prompted the Delta Orlando Resort crew to scramble almost as much as the Magic.

Because of a ''miscommunication'' with the Marriott's Orlando World Center, National Basketball Association officials learned about a week before the first Rockets-Magic game that the nearly 200 rooms they thought were booked for them weren't.

The biggest block of rooms they could find somewhat near the arena - 160 rooms - at such short notice was the Delta, which suddenly found itself NBA headquarters.

NEW NAME.

NEW NAME. The 800-room Court of Flags hotel is sporting a new name: the Delta Court of Flags.

Delta Hotels Limited, a Canadian hotel management company, now holds the management contract for the hotel, which is owned by the Bank of Montreal.

John Pye, Delta Hotels' vice president and the Delta Court of Flags general manager, said a $1.5 million refurbishing is under way and should be completed in February. The hotel's bedrooms, banquet rooms and pool area will be updated and its lobby expanded, he said.

Rooms will be priced in the $60-to-$70 range.

The Delta Court of Flags is one of the largest hotels within the Orlando city limits. ''We plan to keep this hotel competitive,'' Pye said. ''We want to be Orlando's affordable, 3 1/2-star resort.''
