Hotel
LEGOLAND Windsor Resort Hotel was opened on 16 March 2012. The hotel was built on the site of former ride Jungle Coaster, a MACK Wild Mouse style rollercoaster, themed to Lego Technic over 400 metres of track to a height of 16 metres at a top speed of 60 km/h (37 mph). After issues with noise, the ride was relocated to Legoland Florida. The 150 room hotel is LEGO themed and includes a restaurant, bar, pool, children's play area and conference facilities.

Famous quotes containing the word hotel:
“The hotel was once where things coalesced, where you could meet both townspeople and travelers. Not so in a motel. No matter how you build it, the motel remains the haunt of the quick and dirty, where the only locals are Chamber of Commerce boys every fourth Thursday. Who ever heard the returning traveler exclaim over one of the great motels of the world he stayed in? Motels can be big, but never grand.”
—William Least Heat Moon [William Trogdon] (b. 1939)
“I’ve always thought a hotel ought to offer optional small animals.... I mean a cat to sleep on your bed at night, or a dog of some kind to act pleased when you come in. You ever notice how a hotel room feels so lifeless?”
—Anne Tyler (b. 1941)
“...what a thing it is to lie there all day in the fine breeze, with the pine needles dropping on one, only to return to the hotel at night so hungry that the dinner, however homely, is a fete, and the menu finer reading than the best poetry in the world! Yet we are to leave all this for the glare and blaze of Nice and Monte Carlo; which is proof enough that one cannot become really acclimated to happiness.”
—Willa Cather (1876–1947)
