When the Nickelodeon Hotel returns to Orlando, it will bring a modern design with pops of green and orange to the otherwise classic Spanish Mediterranean architecture of Everest Place.
“It’s very unique to Orlando, and everything about this resort is going to have a unique element that isn’t in other locations,” said Everest Group CEO Zafir Rashid in a report from GrowthSpotter.
Teramir Group, a new company led by Rashid, was formed to take over the development of Everest Place. Rashid recently filed the proposed site plan and architectural elevations to Osceola County to review for compliance with the county’s W192 design standards.
The plan calls for an 11-story hotel complex overlooking the large artificial lake with a three-story parking garage just off Everest Place Boulevard. The 543,000-square-foot hotel will feature two separate towers, a hotel tower with 211 guest rooms and a condo tower with 181 units that sleep up to 12 guests.
The condos, now in pre-sales at the Everest Place sales center, come in three sizes: studio, one-bedroom (with bunk room) and two-bedroom (with bunkroom).
All have a living space, full kitchen and balcony and access to the hotel amenities, such as the kids’ club, a variety of restaurants, cafes and shops. They will also enjoy Nickelodeon-themed experiences such as slime and character interactions.
“We have some very special rooms that are themed and you’ve got SpongeBob SquarePants and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and we’ve got all the Nickelodeon characters that will be roaming the resort,” Rashid said.
The concept plan and renderings also offer a peak at the pool, which includes a splash pad, swimming pool and deck with cabanas, a lazy river, an amphitheater, an aqua bites café and, of course, Nickelodeon’s world-famous Slimunator.
“The Slimunator is a special machine, and that’s one of the big features of the Nickelodeon brand itself,” Rashid said. “So you get slimed, and that’s a part of the experience.”
The pool deck opens out onto a boardwalk along the lake that will connect all of the hotel properties within the resort to a future attraction that is still under wraps. “It’s massive, and it’s well over $100 million,” Rashid said.
The approved master plan called for a water park just north of the Nickelodeon resort, but Rashid said they are planning to submit a revised master plan.
This will be the first hotel to rise in the 224-acre resort district and will be followed closely by the 12-story Mysk Hotel, which is being co-developed by Teramir Group and Dubai-based Shaza Hotels. Both are scheduled to open in late 2025 or 2026.
The Mysk will be one of two conservative-lifestyle hotels within the larger resort — a first for the U.S. market. Designed to accommodate observant travelers and open to people of all faiths, it will not serve alcohol and all restaurants will serve Halal and Kosher food.
The resort will also include a women’s club with spa services, private pools, a gym, a yoga studio, and a café.
The final phase includes a 5-star conference center hotel operated by European boutique hotelier Kempinski. This would be the company’s first U.S. location in its more than century-long history.
Nickelodeon Hotels operated the 777 room. Nickelodeon Suites Orlando, The Nick, on Continental Gateway Drive from 2005-2017 before shutting it down and embarking on a $30 million renovation to rebrand it as Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites.
