During the Central Florida Hotel & Lodging Association’s (CFHLA) recent Golden Pineapple Awards dinner, DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld’s general manager, Scott Tripoli, was recognized as the organization’s Lodging Member of the Year. Scott Tripoli was honored for his contributions and support to the community as well as his effectiveness in overseeing the daily operations of the 1,102-room property.
He is an active member of CFHLA and has involved the hotel in many of the organization’s philanthropic efforts, including Bacchus Bash, The Charity Challenge and the Annual Homeless Students Collection.
