We covered the opening night party of the downtown Orlando hotel on September 29, 2010. Analog Artist live-painted a giant mural along with partygoers and food and drink was served in the lobby. While the building remains, the brand has recently changed. Its been turned into a Doubletree Hotel, a Hilton brand. Read the press release here. We stopped by Thursday May 5, 2011 to see if anything had changed as of yet. It looks the same inside and out, save for some minimal branding changes.
The Sonesta lettering removed from the building sat on the front porch just outside the lobby.
Analog Artist's huge framed mural still hangs above the check in counter.
The lobby pretty much still looks the same.
