Art hotel, Alfond Inn at Rollins College, The Cornell Fine Arts Museum, A Night at the Museum
The Alfond Inn is the only U.S. hotel that also serves as an extension of a fine arts museum.

The Alfond Inn at Rollins is the only hotel in the United States that serves as the extension of a fine arts museum. The acclaimed hotel, which is owned by Rollins College, showcases a rotation of curated works from The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art. The collection, which includes more than 300 paintings, photographs, sculptures and mixed-media works by established and emerging artists, was acquired by Rollins alumni and art-collectors Barbara and Ted Alfond and donated to the Cornell Fine Arts Museum at Rollins College.

The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art is part of Winter Park, Florida’s cultural legacy and its century-old dedication to the fine arts. In addition to the Cornell Fine Arts Museum, the city is also home to the Albin Polasek Museum & Sculpture Garden, and the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of American Art, which has the world’s most extensive collection of works by Louis Comfort Tiffany.
