The Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World has been sold for a record-breaking $1.1 billion to an unnamed investment firm, BDT & MSD Partners LLC. The property was previously owned by Host Hotels & Resorts, which purchased it along with another Four Seasons resort in 2021-2022 for a combined $925 million. The new sale represents a significant profit for Host Hotels & Resorts.

Why it matters

This sale marks one of the biggest resort real estate deals in the Central Florida area in recent years, underscoring the continued strength and desirability of luxury accommodations within the Walt Disney World ecosystem. The high sale price and strong financial performance of the resort highlight the premium that guests are willing to pay for a five-star experience close to the theme parks.
