ORLANDO, Fla., June 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Crowne Plaza Orlando-Universal -- just minutes away from magic castles, coasters and The Orange County Convention Center -- opens June 17 with introductory rates starting as low as $85 per night, nearly 50 percent off in-season prices.

Located along the world-famous International Drive, the hotel puts guests within a quick distance of Universal Studios and Walt Disney World theme parks, world-class outlet shopping, theatres, entertainment complexes, downtown nightlife and even golf.

The $50 million, 400-room luxury hotel features two concierge levels, Presidential and Honeymoon Suites, 91 Junior Suites, a multi-lingual staff, two dining options and a conference center with more than 5,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space.

Crowne Plaza Universal welcomes guests in the main tower lobby with suede couches of warm gold, green and blue hues. In the second tower a 15-story atrium lobby complete with two glass elevators and a grand staircase leads to a soft-seating second floor mezzanine area. The contemporary, Art Deco interiors feature vibrant hanging murals.

The rooms portray a residential feel from cushioned, high top beds to the color palette of muted yellow, gold and green. The Presidential Suite, with great views of Disney and EPCOT nightly fireworks, can be one or two bedrooms featuring a large parlor, living and dining room, full kitchen and garden tub.

The premier dining option at the hotel, Arcanjo's Bistro, is a casual full-service restaurant serving contemporary American cuisine and an International menu. Guests delight in its signature Churrasco Platter -- marinated grilled sirloin, chorizo and mojo pork over roasted red potatoes. A permanent breakfast buffet provides quick bites before hitting the sights while The Market Cafe offers daily panini selection and Noble Roman's hand- tossed pizza. Chat's Lounge overflows to the lobby and courtyard pool area offering both traditional and trendy drinks.

The 5,000 square feet of flexible meeting and banquet space, trimmed with tile, brushed metal and beechwood, attracts both small corporate meeting groups and associations as well as social occasions -- from weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs to special theme dinners and fiestas quinceaneras.

The six conference rooms feature video conferencing and high-speed Internet access. The hotel is conveniently located near The Orange County Convention Center, the nation's second largest meeting facility.
