LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA.—B Resort, located in the Walt Disney World Resort, announced a philanthropic partnership with the Wildlife Foundation of Florida as part of the B Hotels & Resorts B Humane program. The resort is scheduled to open in the summer of 2014.
The B Humane program, one of the Signature Elements available at B Hotels, is designed to increase awareness of endangered species native to the destination. The hotels spotlight a plush stuffed animal that is also available for “adoption” (i.e. purchase), with a portion of the proceeds going towards promoting wildlife protection efforts. As its signature cause and resident stuffed animal, the all-new B Resort has selected the Gopher Frog, a species endemic to the Southeastern United States that is threatened due to the loss of its natural habitat. The plush frog will be awaiting guests on the bed in each one of the newly designed, spacious guestrooms of the B Resort. Guests may purchase the plush frogs during their stay and a percentage of the retail proceeds go to the Wildlife Foundation of Florida, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing assistance, funding and promotional support to contribute to the health and well-being of Florida’s fish and wildlife resources and their habitats.
Opening in the Summer of 2014, B Resort integrates the popular B Signature Elements at the Lake Buena Vista resort, including FreeB Wi-Fi (complimentary high-speed internet access) throughout the property, including guestrooms and the 25,000 square feet of meeting spaces; courtesy loaner guest iPads; and a Monscierge, a digital touchscreen concierge and destination guide. B Resort is situated in the Downtown Disney area and incorporates attractive elements for leisure and business travelers, such as a zero-entry, environmentally conscious saltwater pool with interactive water features and fire pits; a kids’ zone; and a variety of four dining options, including a signature restaurant by internationally-recognized restaurateur Jeffrey Chodorow, a poolside grill and The Pick-Up, a casual one-stop shop for a quick breakfast or to stock up on snacks for the day, as well as a full-service ice cream shop, just off of the lobby. All rooms feature the brand’s plush Blissful Bed, sleek, custom furnishings and other modern appointments that enhance the guest experience. Select guestrooms offer bunk beds, kitchenettes and private cabanas.
