History
The Tisch brothers used their early hotel success to build a wider business that included Loew’s Theatres. Later developments sometimes turned theater sites into hotels, linking the family’s interests in entertainment and hospitality. The Universal Orlando partnership became a newer expression of that connection within the hotel collection.
