Exciting news for families and fans of Nickelodeon! A brand-new Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts is set to open in Kissimmee, Florida, in 2026. This new destination is a collaboration between Lion Star, Everest Place, and Paramount, promising a unique blend of fun and luxury for both kids and adults.

Located within the expansive 220-acre Everest Place complex, the Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Orlando will feature over 400 hotel rooms and condo units. Guests can look forward to staying in uniquely themed accommodations inspired by beloved Nickelodeon characters like SpongeBob SquarePants, PAW Patrol, Dora the Explorer, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This family-friendly resort combines luxury amenities with playful experiences, ensuring memorable stays for all ages.

Foodies and fans alike will enjoy the resort’s themed dining options. Le Spatula, a restaurant inspired by SpongeBob’s iconic spatula, and Mikey’s Pizzeria, celebrating the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' favorite food, are just a couple of the exciting culinary experiences. The Snick Lounge, inspired by Nickelodeon’s ‘90s programming block, will offer games, sports, live music, and a nostalgic atmosphere with the Big Orange Couch.

The resort will also feature the Aqua Nick water park, Club Nick for kids, Nickelodeon-themed retail shops, and character meet-and-greets. One of the most anticipated activities is the chance to get slimed, a quintessential Nickelodeon experience. Beyond just a vacation spot, the resort offers condos for purchase, ranging from studios to two-bedroom units, with access to all the resort’s amenities.

Nickelodeon Hotels & Resorts Orlando will be nestled in the heart of Kissimmee, a region known for its natural beauty and proximity to world-famous attractions. Guests can explore the nearby theme parks, enjoy the serene shores of Lake Tohopekaliga, or visit the vibrant Old Town for shopping, dining, and entertainment. The area’s year-round sunny weather is perfect for outdoor adventures, such as airboat rides through the Everglades or playing golf on pristine courses.

For those who remember the original Nickelodeon Hotel in Orlando, which operated from 2005 to 2016, this new resort brings a wave of nostalgia. The previous Nickelodeon Hotel was known for its vibrant atmosphere, themed suites, character breakfasts, and the beloved “Slime Time Live” show. The new resort aims to capture that same magic while offering modern amenities and fresh experiences for a new generation of Nickelodeon fans.
