When asked about choosing Vagabond® as a flag for the property, Raj Patel, managing partner, stated, �We wanted an affiliation that has a strong history of producing results from the leisure market.  Vagabond is a brand that is established in the West and is very successful in the leisure, group tour and travel and FIT markets.  And they are not brand impacted in the Disney Resort market area.  We are excited to be working with Don Johnson and his team to create great results for us and to establish Vagabond Plaza Hotelsm as a new product for the Vagabond System.

David Britton, Vagabond Franchise System�s vice president of marketing commented on the new location, �Vagabond has long wanted a location in the Disneyland area.  The timing of our opportunity to work with Raj Patel, now that the Anaheim Convention Center expansion is finished and Disney�s California Adventure is open, just couldn�t be better.  We know we can deliver leisure market occupancy to the hotel, and flying the Vagabond flag directly across the street from the Disney Resort will provide a great boost to our brand identity.�

The Vagabond Plaza Hotel^sm is located at 1700 South Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim, California 92802, (714) 772-5900.
