THE LUXURIOUS THE SUMPTUOUS THE UNEXPECTED THE EXPERIENCE

THE MALL AT MILLENIA OFFERS ORLANDO VISITORS A WORLD OF SHOPPING OPPORTUNITIES

Featuring the most luxury brands under one roof in Central Florida, the Mall is one of Orlando’s most popular tourist destinations, attracting more than 1.5 million visitors each year

(ORLANDO, Fla.) – There’s no doubt about it – shopping is hands-down one of the most popular leisure interests for travelers on vacation in Orlando. According to two recent studies,* shopping ranks in the top five favorite things to do on vacation among domestic visitors nationwide, as well as the No. 1 vacation activity for 91 percent of overseas guests. Luckily for those discriminating travelers in search of high-fashion and luxury items in the world’s theme park capital, the ultimate shopping experience awaits them at The Mall at Millenia.

“In the past, Orlando wasn’t equated with world-class shopping, but that changed when The Mall at Millenia opened five years ago,” said Steven Jamieson, general manager at The Mall at Millenia. “The Mall at Millenia offers leisure and business travelers a total shopping experience that is unlike any other destination in Florida. From more than 150 luxury and popular retailers to day spas, restaurants and an upscale martini bar, as well as award-winning architecture and complete range of visitor-friendly services, everything has been designed with the discriminating shopper in mind.”

According to Jamieson, The Mall at Millenia has become one of Central Florida’s most popular tourist attractions, with more than 1.5 million tourists shopping and dining there last year. He attributes consumers’ affinity with the Mall to four key elements – the luxurious, the unexpected, the elevated shopping experience and the abundance of sumptuous restaurants and casual eateries.

The Luxurious and The Unexpected – today’s most upscale and sought-after retailers

As Central Florida’s leading upscale retail shopping center and one of the top 10 performing malls in the country, this world-class shopping destination offers a dazzling selection of international retailers representing eight countries, including Cartier, Burberry, Gucci and Salvatore Ferragamo, as well as some of the most in-demand U.S. brands, such as Apple, Tiffany & Co. and Betsey Johnson. Further distinguishing itself as the must-go, Orlando shopping destination, the Mall offers more than 70 stores that are unduplicated in the market, as well as three major department stores – Central Florida’s only Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s, as well as perennial crowd-pleaser Macy’s.

The Experience – personal shoppers, valet parking, celebrity sightings and award-winning design

In addition to the opportunity to purchase the latest Louis Vuitton handbags, Dior sunglasses, Jimmy Choo shoes or Chanel suits, the shopping experience is further enhanced by the center’s unique décor and finishes that accentuate its upscale atmosphere, as well as guest-friendly amenities, services and events.

The Mall, which received a 2004 International Design and Development Award from the International Council of Shopping Centers for its dramatic architecture and distinctive design, transforms shopping into a sophisticated, multi-sensory experience through its upscale design elements that are prominent both outside and once visitors arrive indoors. Highlights include an S-shaped, vaulted concourse with skylights throughout and innovative uses of water and technology.

In the center’s dramatic, eight-story Grand Court featuring a dozen 35-foot-high masts topped with high-resolution LED screens, fashionistas the world over can delight in viewing footage just off the world’s most exclusive runways in New York, London, Paris and Milan, which are featured on these screens through a partnership with the Videofashion Network. In fact, The Mall at Millenia is the only shopping center in the nation to utilize technology in this unprecedented format, and to show this exclusive fashion footage. Another distinctive element of The Mall at Millenia’s overall experience includes the opportunity to take advantage of a wide range of experience-enhancing services and amenities, including personal shoppers, trunk and fashion shows, special signature events, salons and day spas, valet parking, a full-service concierge, currency exchange, multi-lingual staff and VIP “meet and greet” program, as well as an onsite post office (for shipping home those must-have purchases that won’t fit in one’s suitcase). Plus, if the planets are aligned, an added bonus might be the opportunity to enjoy the “star gazing” of dozens of today’s

favorite celebrities, including Tyra Banks, Alicia Keys, Tiger Woods, Grant Hill and John Travolta (all of whom have been sighted shopping at The Mall at Millenia).

The Sumptuous – dining and nightlife

The Mall at Millenia offers shoppers a host of American and internationally-inspired menu options at several of today’s most popular dining outlets, including P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, The Cheesecake Factory, Brio Tuscan Grille, McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurant and California Pizza Kitchen. For those on the go, Orangerie Cafés, a group of 12 casual eateries, offers seating for more than 750 patrons. After dinner, members of the VIP nightlife set can see and be seen at the Mall’s ultra-chic Blue Martini. This world-class entertainment lounge is open seven evenings a week until 2 a.m. and features nightly live entertainment, as well as indoor/outdoor seating.
