A Holiday Shopping Package Gift-Wrapped in the Very Best of Winter Park, Florida
October 24, 2017. Winter Park, Florida – The perfect holiday gift? It just might be Holiday Shopping on Park Avenue, a package that offers shopping along one of America’s most quintessential and historic main streets and two nights of luxurious recuperation at The Alfond Inn at Rollins, routinely ranked as one of the top hotels in the world.
Winter Park is a walkable city famed for its cobblestone streets, upscale shops, tree-lined avenues and relaxed pace, along with welcoming sidewalk cafes and open-air restaurants. Located just 20 minutes from Orlando, it’s the ideal place to get into the holiday spirit. The “Winter in the Park “ ice skating rink opens on November 27 and the “Winter on the Avenue” holiday celebration on December 1st turns downtown into a pedestrian plaza, welcoming the annual tree lighting with carolers and a visit from Santa. The next day brings the Winter Park “Ye Olde Hometown” Christmas Parade, currently in its’ 65th year and the longest-running parade in Central Florida.
The Alfond Inn at Rollins was recently named the #1 Hotel in Florida in the Condé Nast Traveler 2017 Readers’ Choice Awards, and one of the Top Hotels in the World in the Travel + Leisure World’s Best Awards 2017. The hotel is just a five minute stroll away from the shops, cafes and holiday festivities. The Alfond Inn at Rollins is a luxury hotel with dog-friendly accommodations, as well as Hamilton’s Kitchen, the hotel’s popular restaurant.
Each Sunday at 1pm, there’s a free curator-led tour of The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art at Rollins College, which is exhibited throughout the hotel. A highlight of the tour is the new Tomás Saraceno sculpture, Cloud Cities - Nebulous Thresholds, in the hotel’s Conservatory. Saraceno is a recipient of the prestigious Calder Prize and his work is represented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. A Happy Hour Art Tour takes place at the hotel the first Wednesday of each month, after which guests are invited to enjoy happy hour in the lounge.
To get the full Winter Park experience, guests can continue their shopping sojourn at the museum shops of the nearby Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, both walking distance from The Alfond Inn at Rollins.
