Nickelodeon Suites Resort has announced the very sad news that the world famous Nick Hotel will be no more after Sunday 17th April 2016.
The resort itself will remain, and the water play area, 4D theater and laser maze will remain, but the Nickelodeon branding will be gone.
The Nickelodeon Suites Resort property, located off World Center Drive, will become the Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites - Waterpark, according to a statement on the Nick Hotel's website.

"The resort will continue to be a destination hotel dedicated to imagination, play and exploration for kids and parents alike!" reads the statement.
Nickelodeon branding will remain at the hotel through Sunday 17th April 2016, but the next day, the resort will be renamed Holiday Inn Resort Orlando Suites - Waterpark. No Nickelodeon experiences will be offered at the resort once the property is rebranded, meaning guests looking to get slimed will have to search for another Nickelodeon experience later this year.
For the past few weeks some of the Nickelodeon branding has been removed from around the resort, and the outside of the hotel is in the process of being repainted. Nickelodeon graphics have already been removed from many of the rooms as part of a $30 million renovation of the resort. The Lagoon Pool and Café are being rebuilt and are closed through Feb. 29.

Lagoon Pool at Nickelodeon Suites Resort
The rebranding was announced as the hotel starts a $30 million renovation, including new renovated suites and upgrades to The Lagoon Pool and Café, which is closed through Monday 29th February 2016. The resort's Café in the Mall is also undergoing renovations, according to NickHotel.com.
Once upgrades are complete, the Holiday Inn will feature a renovated waterpark, laser maze (formally "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Laser Lockdown"), a 4-D theater and live entertainment.
Nickelodeon launched the Nick Hotel in partnership with Holiday Inn in 2005, becoming the first Nickelodeon Hotel in the world.
The Nickelodeon Hotel sold in 2014 for $78.8 million. It celebrated its 10th anniversary last year with parties, extra activities and general celebration with popular Nickelodeon characters.
Nickelodeon Suites Resort recently marked its 10th anniversary with a party and sliming featuring many characters from Nick shows past and present.
The Nick Hotel is offering amazing Deals during January and February with weekday rates starting as low as $79 during this time period. Check the availability calendar for more details.
