Home to the Happiest Place on Earth, Orlando draws millions of mouse-eared visitors every year. This means there’s a huge number of family-friendly hotels to choose from. Whether customers are after proximity to the Disney parks, a little luxury, or somewhere lighter on the purse strings, the Sunshine State has something for everyone. And as the largest Florida specialist of our kind in Europe, choosing from our top-selling hotels in Orlando can ensure their holiday ticks all the right boxes...
Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando
Best for location
Orlando, a hub of activities, is best experienced when staying on International Drive. The Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando, located in the heart of the city, ensures this convenience. It's just steps away from the Pointe Orlando shopping centre, WonderWorks, and top-notch dining options like Bahama Breeze and Olive Garden, making your stay hassle-free and enjoyable.
Not only are Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando Resort, and SeaWorld Orlando within a 6-mile radius, but customers are also perfectly positioned to make the most of their complimentary 7-day I-RIDE Trolley Pass, one of 5 Orlando experiences exclusive to Florida customers, worth up to $549 per family of four.
Back at the hotel, customers can be sure of a great night's sleep in their deluxe rooms with comfy double beds that will feel like sleeping on a cloud. The rooms also come equipped with a mini-fridge, HD TV with cable channels, and fast free Wi-Fi. This family-friendly hotel also offers a kids eat free program, as well as scheduled shuttle service to Universal Orlando and SeaWorld, making it a valuable option on top of its convenience.
Floridays Orlando Resort
Best for bigger families
At Floridays Resort Orlando, the whole family can experience the holiday of a lifetime. It offers condo-style accommodations with up to three-bedroom suites that are almost four times larger than the average Orlando hotel room, so there’s plenty of space for everyone. Accommodating up to eight guests, the suite boasts a fully equipped kitchen and dining area with granite countertops, as well as breathtaking views of the pools and ponds from the comfort of customer's own private balcony.
When customers are able to tear themselves away from the luxurious private pad, the resort itself has much to offer. Two pools offer vastly different vibes. They can opt for the kid-friendly main pool, featuring a fun water playscape, or the ultimate in relaxation in the quieter pool, which even comes with a jacuzzi. And when hunger strikes, they can take a seat at the Palm Café Pool Bar, where they can enjoy a choice of wings, pizza, and burgers. Or they can retreat to the comfort of their own room and take advantage of room service for a small fee of $2. The resort also features Palm Café, where customers can start their day right with a Starbucks coffee.
Disney’s All-Star Music Resort
Best for Disney dreams on a budget
Customers can experience the magic of Disney and the exhilaration of rock 'n' roll at Disney's All-Star Music Resort. This music-themed Disney hotel not only places them just moments away from theme park bliss but also provides complimentary bus transportation. Ideal for music enthusiasts and Disney fans alike, this value Walt Disney World accommodation offers the enchantment of a Disney stay without the high price tag of some of the other Disney hotels.
Five themed areas pay homage to different genres of music, and customers can even find a guitar-shaped pool and jukebox headboards in their bedrooms. Come dinner time, they can boogie on down to the Intermission Food Court, featuring a range of serving stations plus a deli-style market. For the icing on the cake, music lovers will appreciate the song and dance surprises throughout the resort and Disney fans will love Movies Under the Stars, where they can watch classics by the pool.
We would also like to give honourable mentions to Disney's All Star Sports and Art of Animation Resorts, which are fantastic Prime Value hotel alternatives.
