Legoland Florida announced this morning that they have broken ground on a new hotel. I have not seen the official press release yet but the reports are that it will be 4 stories and have approximately 152 rooms. It is scheduled to open in 2015.

As someone who has fond memories of visiting Cypress Gardens as a child, I am really glad that Legoland opened at the old Cypress Gardens location and has become a success. My kids love it there but since it is a little off the beaten path and has shorter hours than many parks we don't get there as much as I would like. I think a hotel really enhances the property.
