Planet Hollywood to transform Orlando flagship

Orlando, Fla. - Planet Hollywood, is transforming its Orlando flagship location into a four-story star-gazing observatory set to debut in spring 2016. The reimagined “Planet Hollywood Observatory” will overlook the heart of Downtown Disney with a newly-expanded outdoor terrace and bar.



Intensive renovations and artistic treatments, spearheaded by design firm Elkus Manfredi Architects, will take place early in 2016 and will align the redone space with the transformation of Downtown Disney into Disney Springs. Disney Springs will feature dining, shopping and entertainment amid open-air promenades, flowing springs and waterfront charm.



The exterior will share the Disney Springs turn-of-the-century design aesthetic, while the interior will feature refurbished upholstery, spherical planet-shaped lighting fixtures and stylish finishing. New dining and lounge options will include a new outdoor terrace and outdoor bar space called Stargazers, which will feature live entertainment while music in the main dining room will be provided by DJ performances. Walls and glass displays throughout the space will be adorned with imagery and memorabilia from various movies.



"We're thrilled to be a part of Disney Springs and transform our brand as Disney evolves its exciting new venue," said Planet Hollywood International founder and chairman Robert Earl. "With Planet Hollywood Observatory, we are refreshing our dining experience as we renew our commitment to the new, rising stars of the entertainment industry, a part of our core mission since inception."
