One of the original owners of the hotel was Henri Landwirth, founder of the Give Kids The World Village , a nonprofit resort where terminally ill children would enjoy a week-long vacation with their families for no charge. ^{[3] [4]} Another owner of the hotel was the astronaut John Glenn, later a United States senator. ^{[3] [4]} Massive expansions of the resort took place in 1975, 1979, and 1989 with the opening of 445 additional rooms. ^[3] This hotel pioneered the concept of "kids' suites;" suites with child-friendly themes where children have gaming consoles and their own private area for relaxation. ^[3] Each kid suite can accommodate up to five people (two parents/adult guardians and three children).
