The essentials
Group
IHG Hotels & Resorts (EVEN Hotels), developed with Japan's Daiwa House Group
Opening
July 2026
Rooms & suites
120 rooms (part of a combined 288-room dual-branded building shared with an adjoining Staybridge Suites, which accounts for the remaining 168 rooms)
The property sits on Universal Boulevard, close to Universal Orlando's Epic Universe theme park and the Orange County Convention Center.
The concept
This is a genuine new-build, ground-up property, developed in partnership with Japan's Daiwa House Group and combining IHG's wellness-oriented EVEN Hotels brand with the extended-stay Staybridge Suites under a single dual-branded roof — 120 EVEN rooms built around fitness and recovery, alongside 168 Staybridge suites with kitchens for longer stays. Shared amenities include a roughly 1,500-square-foot Athletic Studio, a 24-hour marketplace, a game room, a resort-style outdoor pool, guest laundry, long-stay storage units, and a courtyard with barbecue grills and a pet-walking area.
Dining & wellness
The EVEN Hotel portion runs its own dedicated reception and guest-facing food and beverage service, separate from the Staybridge side of the building, consistent with the brand's usual standalone format even inside a shared building; specific restaurant or bar concepts were not detailed in sourcing available at the time of writing.
