Alfond Inn Provides Wonder and Magic in Florida
Designed by Baker Barrios Architect, the Alfond Inn provides an unforgettable experience to visiting parents and a stream of revenue to Rollins College.
With just 20 miles between Walt Disney World and the Alfond Inn, it’s no wonder the boutique hotel gives off an air of magic and wonder. Constructed in 2013 for Rollins College and designed by Baker Barrios Architects, the Alfond Inn captures the feeling of a Mediterranean palace, complete with white stucco, curved corners, arched ceilings and a slew of natural lighting.
The Alfond Inn’s defining feature is what’s known as the hotel’s “jeweled center” — a luxurious domed skylight that spans 39 feet across the main lounge. To construct the striking copula, Lintec installed large glass panels framed with aluminum coated in Sherwin-Williams Fluropon Classic II in Bronze. Known for its durability and effervescent pigment, Fluropon also provides superior resistance to ultraviolet rays, which enables the coating to provide a continuous lasting impression for years. The Alfond Inn now stands as one of the premier luxury hotels in the area and donates a portion of its funds to support the Alfond Scholars fund at Rollins College.
Fluropon 70% PVDF Coatings
Fluropon is Sherwin-Williams flagship 70% PVDF coating system for architectural metal building products. Its superior durability and color retention keeps your building facade looking new for decades to come.
