New tower construction at Swan and Dolphin reaches key milestone
A new 349-room hotel under construction at the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Resort has reached a key building milestone with the topping off of the project’s top floor.
The 14-story tower, scheduled to open in the summer, will now be called The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve. The project was formerly known as The Cove.
“As we advanced with the project on construction, marketing and operations, we decided The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve was a better fit,” the newly appointed area general manager for the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin, Sean Verney, said in a news release. “We feel this name represents the boutique, sophisticated and relaxing ambiance the hotel will provide guests.”
Once completed, The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve will offer two presidential suites and 149 spacious suites, all with floor-to-ceiling windows and perfect for families. The hotel will offer its own signature restaurant and bar, lobby lounge, grab-and-go market, health club and pool. Guests will also have full access to the rest of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin’s amenities.
The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve is also designed to cater to meetings and events with a luxurious yet tranquil design offering an invitation for inspiration. With over 22,000 square feet of function space, it is an ideal option for small to mid-size groups.
The 149 suites provide a great collaboration space for executives and groups of up to 20 with access to two 65-inch monitors, comfortable conference style seating, built-in break area and a private bathroom.
A top-floor event space with floor-to-ceiling windows provides breathtaking views of Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
“The Walt Disney World Swan Reserve will be a great fit with our existing resort,” said Verney. “The additional suites, intimate environment and absolutely unforgettable magical views are sure to resonate with our guests.”
The project, which broke ground in fall 2018, has remained on schedule as crews have been able to maintain the construction activity while following all mandated safety protocols.
