Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort is currently in the process of a major expansion, and the centerpiece of that expansion is the Gran Destino Tower. The tower will serve as the new main entry for guests visiting the resort.

The 15-story tower will include 545 new guest rooms, which includes 50 suites, a two-story lobby, and a themed table-service restaurant on the top floor. The restaurant, dubbed Toledo – Tapas, Steak & Seafood, will feature views of Walt Disney World Resort and offer indoor dining and a lounge with indoor and outdoor seating.

Gran Destino Tower is slated to open in July 2019. Reservations began on Nov. 27.
