This article presents information about Harris Rosen's struggle to become one of Orlando, Florida's top hotel operators. Rosen bought his first hotel in 1973 and lived in it, moving from room to room, while he painted and recarpeted each room himself. Five hotels later, while most hoteliers were shelving plans to build new ones in the wake of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks, Rosen moved ahead with his luxury Rosen Shingle Creek Resort, which opened in September 2006.
