The Fold Hotels officially launches

LAKE BUENA VISTA, FLA. – andCo Hospitality, the Certified B Corporation shaking up responsible travel (and having a blast doing it), announce the official launch of The Fold, its newest and flagship brand. Crafted for travelers who crave style, comfort and a genuine sense of place without compromising on sustainability, The Fold delivers a fresh, locally-infused hospitality experience at three vibrant destinations across the U.S. Who says you can’t have your eco-friendly cake and eat it too?

Blending upcycled design, energy-efficient amenities and community-driven experiences, The Fold properties are less ‘cookie-cutter hotel’ and more “your new favorite hangout.” This launch is a major milestone in andCo Hospitality’s evolution, following its April 1 reveal of a new multi-brand lineup that also includes the glow-up of Legacy Vacation Resorts and the ever-charming The Local in St. Augustine. Together, these brands are on a mission to make sustainable tourism accessible, exciting and, dare we say, downright irresistible for all travelers and all budgets.

At The Fold, the guest experience is all about sparking joy, wonder, and maybe even a little vacation envy from friends and family back home. Every detail is designed to bring out the biggest smiles and keep things refreshingly fun, all while treading lightly on the planet. As a Certified B Corp, the brand is serious about sustainability, but never at the expense of a good time. The vibe leans into local flair and turns every stay into an experience guests will be talking about long after check-out.

The Fold’s Unique Destinations

Steamboat Springs, Colorado: Nestled in the heart of the Rockies, The Fold Steamboat Springs is a 60-room resort that puts guests steps from world-class skiing, hiking, and those famous natural hot springs so travelers can soak, shred, or stroll to their heart’s content. The property’s design channels Colorado’s adventurous spirit with repurposed vintage furnishings and communal spaces perfect for swapping stories by the crackling fire. Luxe amenities like the ‘Hot Box’ sauna room await, and après adventure, guests can unwind with craft coffee, tasty B Corp snacks and sundries, and a front-row seat to the town’s buzzing arts and music scene.

Indian Shores, Florida: Perched along Florida’s pristine Gulf Coast, The Fold Indian Shores is the ultimate playground for beach lovers, shell seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. Whether they’re lounging on the sugar-soft sand, kayaking the nearby waterways, or popping into Downtown St. Pete for brewery tours and mural walks, they’ll find the 32-room hotel’s laid-back vibe and eco-friendly touches make it easy to slip into “out of office” mode. Décor inspired by coastal charm and eco-touches like renewable power sources and energy-efficient tech keep things as fresh as the ocean breeze.

Lake Buena Vista, Florida: Smack dab in the middle of Orlando’s entertainment corridor, The Fold Lake Buena Vista is a modern, playful home base just minutes from world-famous theme parks and attractions. 28 spacious suites with smart amenities and a community-focused atmosphere offer a refreshing alternative to the usual Orlando stay. Upcycled materials, local art, and sustainability at its core create the perfect vibe for travelers seeking comfort, good times and maybe even a little magic.

Leading the Way in Responsible Hospitality

“The Fold is about proving that sustainability and style can coexist beautifully, and with plenty of personality,” said Alex Smith, President of andCo Hospitality. “We designed each location to feel like a true reflection of its community, all while making more responsible travel choices accessible and affordable. Because, much like a vacation, saving the planet should never be boring.”

The Fold’s launch builds on andCo Hospitality’s commitment to evolving the future of travel. With three distinct brands united by a shared purpose of community, sustainability, and authentic experiences, andCo is poised to expand its footprint and keep redefining what responsible hospitality means across the U.S.
