A new Nickelodeon Hotel & Resort is set to open in Kissimmee. Lion Star, Paramount, and Everest Place have revealed plans to collaborate on constructing the resort, with an anticipated opening in 2026.
DT Minich, president of Experience Kissimmee, emphasized the difference from the previous Nickelodeon-themed hotel that was once in the region: “There may be some Central Florida residents that remember we used to have a Nickelodeon hotel here, but that was a hotel that had been converted. It had been retrofitted.”
In contrast, the new resort is being constructed from the ground up.
“This one’s going to have all kinds of bells and whistles. I’m sure there’s going to be slime involved somewhere, but it’s going to be an amazing new type of accommodation for us,” Minich said.
The resort will feature over 420 rooms and condo units inspired by popular Nickelodeon shows, including SpongeBob SquarePants, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, PAW Patrol, and Dora the Explorer. In addition, the resort will include four restaurants, a pool, a water park, and various other amenities designed to cater to families and Nickelodeon fans.
“The new Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Orlando will bring guests and residents an exciting new way to express their fandom and make long-lasting memories,” said Pam Kaufman, president and CEO of Paramount International Markets, Global Consumer Products & Experiences. “I am thrilled that this resort is set to become yet another unforgettable travel destination in our award-winning portfolio, offering top family-focused amenities. This new resort is just one of the many ways we are committed to bringing immersive experiences, attractions, and products to fans of Paramount’s brands all over the world.”
The new Nickelodeon resort will be a key component of a more than 200-acre property called Everest Place, located off U.S. 192 near State Road 429. Minich said that Everest Place will also feature two additional hotels and a variety of shopping and dining.
Construction for Everest Place, including the Nickelodeon hotel, is already underway.
