Alfond Inn Rollins
The Alfond Inn Rollins is a hotel and restaurant in Winter Park that combines lodging and dining under one roof. The building features a glass conservatory, bright guest rooms overlooking a planted courtyard, and a restaurant called Hamilton's Kitchen serving American dishes.
The hotel opened in 2013 and quickly became known for its focus on art collections and design. The connection to nearby Rollins College and support from the Alfond family have shaped the property since its founding.
The name Alfond Inn comes from Barbara and Theodore Alfond, art patrons who assembled a significant contemporary art collection displayed throughout the hotel. Guests experience the collection while moving through the building, with artworks integrated into common areas and hallways.
The hotel offers amenities such as a heated pool, fitness center, and peaceful gardens for guests to relax. The staff can provide recommendations for local attractions, nearby museums, and walking trails in the area.
The hotel houses the Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art, assembled specifically to promote values like critical thinking and cross-cultural perspectives. The collection is woven into the everyday spaces of the hotel, making art viewing a natural part of staying there.
