BOCA RATON, Fla., July 26, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Bluegreen
Vacations, a leading vacation ownership company, recently welcomed
over 120 members of the community, celebrities, executives and
owners for a grand opening event in New
Orleans' historic theater district, in celebration of the
brand's newest property – The Marquee.
Through interactive augmented reality experiences, The Marquee
uses New Orleans-inspired
fictional characters, including its central character, Story Val,
to showcase the musical and artistic history of New Orleans. The grand opening weekend brought
to life aspects of the property, including welcome letters written
by The Marquee's very own Val, activations that highlighted the
history of vaudeville, as well as décor and motifs inspired by the
property's design. Located just steps away from the historic
Orpheum and Saenger Theatres, the 17-story property features over
90 spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom suites, each outfitted
with Fender guitars, interactive art on all floors, owner's lounge,
sales center featuring a 60-foot LED wall, fitness facility,
rooftop dipping pool, and an outdoor entertainment area.
"The Marquee represents our vision at Bluegreen Vacations of
providing our owners and guests with an unforgettable vacation
experience in a historic destination like New Orleans," said Famous Rhodes, Executive
Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer of Bluegreen
Vacations. "We believe that The Marquee is unparalleled, and
we're excited to share with our guests the local culture of
New Orleans through a fun,
immersive experience."
The Marquee Grand Opening weekend joined nearly 75 guests at the
Bluegreen Vacations-sponsored Habitat for Humanity build in the
Lower Ninth Ward, the neighborhood which is still being rebuilt
after the effects from Hurricane Katrina in 2014. Members of the
team helped to rebuild driveways, remove large boulders and rocks,
paint interior walls, and put the finishing touches on two, new
homes in the area.
The weekend culminated with a behind-the-scenes look at the
making of The Marquee, a congratulatory proclamation given by the
City of New Orleans, and a
performance by Grammy award winning multi-instrumentalist,
Judith Hill. The event also featured
a traditional New Orleans Second Line parade on the streets outside
of The Marquee concluding at the outdoor entertainment area with a
silent disco and a Beignet truck from world-famous Café Du
Monde.
The Marquee is the third fee-based service arrangement between
Bluegreen Vacations and Michigan-based Accelerated Assets, with the
other resorts located in Chicago
and Orlando. Bluegreen Vacations
operates on behalf of Accelerated Assets, selling vacation
ownership interests as part of the Bluegreen Vacation Club.
The Bluegreen Vacation Club is a points based, real
estate-backed vacation ownership program that leads its members to
