Tao Group Hospitality unveils plans for first hotel

Tao Group Hospitality has announced plans to open its first ever TAO-branded resort in Orlando, completing the company’s 360-degree approach to full-service entertainment experiences.

Created in partnership with Unicorp National Developments, TAO Hotel will serve as the anchor for O-Town West – a $1 billion, 350-acre mixed-use community development located in Southwest Orange County.

Tao Group Hospitality is no stranger to the hotel industry, operating more than 40 branded locations inside existing hotels across the world including seven stand-alone properties for which the group handles full food and beverage operations including room service.

Tao Group Hospitality has tapped long-time partner Rockwell Group to design the property, which will embody the upscale nature of all Tao Group Hospitality branded locations. Slated to open in 2025, the luxury hotel will encompass a Tao Asian Bistro, rooftop experience, meeting space and fitness facility.

“A hotel was the natural evolution for us”, says Tao Group Hospitality Co-CEO Noah Tepperberg. “We’ve had the honour of working with some of the world’s top hotel developers, and we’re really excited to create a property that truly reflects the Tao lifestyle.”

He continues: “The Tao Group Hospitality clientele has evolved with us over the years and is looking for something that can provide them with more than just a few hours of fun at one of our locations. This hotel will be an exquisite escape and will enable us to showcase our company’s flagship concept in a whole new way. Boasting over 40 million visitors annually, Orlando is the perfect place for our first branded resort property. More than just culinary and nightlife, Tao is a lifestyle, and this large-scale venture provides the ultimate opportunity to bring that experience to life.”
