I'm going to do a visit to Orlando in the next few weeks. Can someone give me an idea of a few of the nicer hotels? I'm a platinum member at Westin and have lots of points with them, so if any of the Westin's in the area are nice that would work out good. Thanks for the info!
The Peabody. I think that is the one with the ducks. Sounds......cute. Me, I prefer having a fireplace and a full kitchen, so I opt for the older Residence Inn's, like the one around Sand Lake, and the one in Altamonte. Champagne, a nice flame to watch, shrimp cocktail in the frig, some brie in the oven, along with a beautiful woman, no 5 star luxury hotel can beat that.
Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes and JW Marriott are on the same property and are very nice. Near the convention center area. The Peabody is also nice. The Grand Bohemian is the best hotel in the downtown area and also where visiting NBA teams stay when they come to play against the Magic. The Grand Floridian is supposed to be the nicest Disney hotel but I have never stayed there.
The Ritz is always a good choice. There's a new Waldorf Astoria in Orlando, as well. I'm not a fan of the Grand Bohemian. Their valet service lost my car and the rooms are tiny.
I was at the Waldorf Astoria about a month ago for a wedding. I thought the value for the price of the room was GREAT. Everything else was expensive, but it fit the bill for a 4 star hotel.
No Valet cars get lost, it was on a test drive or a beer run. lol Thanks everyone for all of the info on the good spots.
I like the following, great service, rooms and service: Gaylord Palms JW Marriot The Grand Floridian (Disney Hotel) Ritz Carlton Grande Lakes
