Because of its proximity to the USTA, the hotel’s 10,000-square-foot Althea Lake Nona Events Center was named after Althea Gibson, America’s renowned former professional tennis player known for shattering racial barriers. In 1951 she became the first African American to play at Wimbledon, and won the women’s singles and doubles titles at Wimbledon in 1957 and the U.S. Open in 1958.
