ORLANDO, FL: February 27, 2025 – Paramount Hospitality Management today announces that the former Avanti Palms Resort and Conference Center at 6515 International Drive has undergone a brand transition to become the newest member of the Wyndham hotel chain.
The 652-room resort has been re-named the Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center and sprawls across a 14-acre tract on Orlando’s famous I-Drive, directly across from Universal Volcano Bay. Guests enjoy easy access to six major theme parks including the new Universal Epic Universe, landmark attractions like The Orlando Eye, over 600 retail outlets, and more than 200 dining and nightlife establishments.
“After nearly a decade anchoring the northern region of International Drive in Orlando, Paramount Hospitality Management is proud to announce its partnership with Wyndham as we transition the Avanti Palms Resort and Conference Center into the Wyndham family. This investment and remarkable transformation will bring a new era to both the northern I-Drive corridor and to the resort, providing our guests with renewed excitement, a higher level of service, renowned benefits and a generous rewards program from one of the leading hotel brands worldwide. The resort will maintain normal operations during a brief transition period, emerging with a new name, ‘Wyndham I-Drive Resort and Conference Center.’ Guests will enjoy new enhancements and experiences that celebrate the International Drive district while taking advantage of the proximity to major theme parks as well as the benefits provided as a Universal Partner Hotel,” said Marco Manzie, Founder and President of Paramount Hospitality Management.
The full-service resort includes six multi-story buildings plus a 14-story tower with an atrium serenity garden, one of the largest resort pools on I-Drive, multiple dining operations, plus over 20,000 sq. ft. of conference and event space. Additional highlights include Avanti Sports Bar and Games with a picturesque bar, pub-style seating, multiple TVs, pool tables and other interactive games.

As a Universal Partner Hotel, Wyndham I-Drive Avanti Resort & Conference Center provides guests with complimentary transportation to theme parks and ticket concierge services.
