The Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek and Waldorf Astoria Orlando will be hosting the event and providing accommodations for all attending delegates. The two hotels are neighboring properties and are adjacent to Walt Disney World Theme Parks. The Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek offers 1,000 elegantly appointed guest rooms and The Waldorf Astoria Orlando features an additional 497 deluxe guest rooms and suites.

The properties have a wide array of extraordinary amenities including an exclusive view and access to the Waldorf Astoria Golf Club; over a dozen signature restaurants & bars; a 3-acre lazy river pool winding through lush, subtropical landscaping; a full service spa & fitness center; and a variety of games and activities, among many others.

Gastón Isoldi, Director of La Cumbre with Reed Travel Exhibitions speaks about the decision to host the event in the state of Florida once again, by saying: “It is a pleasure for us to come back to Orlando after 8 years.  The city has evolved dramatically from the last time we were here.  Fifty million visitors in the past year confirm this!  Without a doubt, each delegate will have a great experience, and will enjoy their stay at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek & Waldorf Astoria Orlando”

In addition, Gary Sain, President and CEO of Visit Orlando, shared his anticipation to host the event again, by stating that: “Our destination tagline is ‘Orlando Makes Me Smile,’ and we are rolling out the red carpet for La Cumbre to ensure every attendee says this during their Orlando stay.  We’re thrilled to showcase the more than $4 billion investment that has been made in Orlando over the last couple of years, bringing with it new high end hotels, new attractions, new shopping and dining experiences and so much more.”
