When you are going on vacation, no matter the destination, inadvertently picking the wrong hotel can make it hard to enjoy yourself. Waking up with a cockroach on your arm when the website said it was a luxury hotel can put a damper on a trip. There are a few hotels that guest reviews, travel agents, and guidebooks agree are the best Orlando hotels. All would be a superb addition to your Orlando vacation.
One of the best luxury hotels in the Orlando area is the Ritz-Carlton Orlando Grand Lakes. It is in a very large complex and could be a vacation all by itself. The nightly rate starting at $400 is well worth it when you see what there is to do. There is a spa that is probably bigger than your home at 40,000 square feet. Kids’ activities are available, they have a lazy river and an 18-hole golf course on site. You could never leave their complex and have fun, it is definitely one of the best Orlando hotels.
The Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate is a great hotel for someone looking for a luxury hotel but at a reasonable price. It’s in a quiet place and it surrounded by over 1000 acres of natural wetlands. They feature five restaurants, a spa, a putting course and a lot more. In addition to all the on site options it is adjacent to a huge golf course and is about five miles from Walt Disney World and less that 20 miles from Universal Orlando. With rates starting at $135 nightly, it’s definitely an investment worth making.
When thinking of the best Orlando hotels, you can’t overlook a widely renowned name in luxury hotels with the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress Resort. Not only does the Regency take world class to a whole new level, you will be floored with the stream in the middle of the lobby and the VIP helicopter pad. The swimming pool covers nearly half an acre and has its own waterfalls. They also feature what amounts to a summer day camp for kids. This isn’t just a day care, it’s a camp designed to keep the kids begging to come back. This doesn’t even begin to cover the list of activities offered to you for starting at $179 a night.
Finally you have another renowned name with the Marriott Orlando World Center. With the onsite golf course, tennis courts, water park and over 200 acres of landscaped grounds you’d probably be expecting a high price tag. But with rates starting at $129 nightly, at many other destinations you may be lucky to get a room and a continental breakfast for that. This is why it’s one of the best places to stay in Orlando.
