Harris Rosen

Innovative, generous and a giant in our industry… Harris Rosen, almost needs no introduction. As the Founder, President and COO of Rosen Hotels & Resorts, Harris Rosen took a chance on one hotel in the 1970’s, a chance on himself, and it paid off. Now, the Rosen name stands tall on seven Orlando-area hotels and foundations benefitting children in underserved communities, warriors taking cancer head- on and even people in other countries hit hard by disasters. He started the Tangelo Park Program and the Parramore program which provide free preschool to children ages 2, 3 and 4. When those students graduate high school, college or vocational school scholarships are there for them covering most everything including tuition, books and room and board. He created RosenCare, an innovative, award-winning insurance plan that not only gives associates and their families comprehensive coverage but pays for 90% of all medications. And, he established the Rosen Medical Center, which offers employees and their loved ones direct access to top-notch medical care and wellness programs, on-campus.
