The Marriott World Center, Orlando, Florida luxury hotel, also known as the Orlando Marriott World Center, in the Lake Buena Vista area of Orlando, Florida is one of the nicest hotels in the whole state of Florida and quite possibly in the whole United States. The Marriott World Center Orlando is laid out on gorgeous property and raises high to the sky, with a beautiful glass elevator shooting through the top of the lobby’s ceiling and towering high above the cars and areas landscape to climb to the highest floor to one of the 2,000 rooms located within the facility. While in the glass elevator, you can feel your pulse race and a pang of nervous anxiety- the kind that tickles- as your stomach slightly drops with the lobby floor. This is the best view in the house as you can catch a nice, clear glimpse of the many surrounding parks and at night, fireworks. The entire Marriott World Center Orlando Hotel is friendly for all members of a family and caters well to business people traveling with guests. If you are looking for an Orlando, Florida luxury hotel for business or pleasure, this hotel is definitely worth spending the extra bit of money on. Your whole family will enjoy themselves from morning till night even after the days’ tourist activities or meetings are over, for the Orlando, Florida luxury hotel boasts so many activities that one cannot possibly even experience them all in one visit.
If you are looking to spend some of your vacation outdoors, in the delightful Florida sunshine, the Marriott World Center, Orlando Florida luxury hotel has every resource you need to do so enjoyably. The hotel is home to six pools and six hot tubs, set around a little myriad world of waterfalls, gazebos, and perfectly groomed foliage. The Marriott World Center Orlando refers to their location as “paradise” and there isn’t a better word to describe it. While you are sitting out in the sun, add some fun to the tanning experience with a couple frozen drinks, courtesy of the tiki style bar that extends itself into almost the middle of the pool, making it look from afar that it is actually an island that you can only get to by swimming. The area is quite picturesque. Then, after finishing you Strawberry Daiquiri or Pina Colada, jump in one of the heated pools and maybe even take a few trips down the fun, curvy slide. Or you may wish to wander over and join in one of the games going on at the sand volleyball court, tennis courts, or basketball courts.
The Marriott World Center Orlando hotel also has great accommodations for your children, with activities that some children even find preferable than standing in line all day at amusement parks. If you have to attend meetings or if your child is too young to take advantage of all of the benefits that a theme park has to offer, consider leaving them with the Marriott employees for the day. They will enjoy some fun times around the pool, with games, hair braiding, face painting, manicures, and snacks and refreshments like watermelon and virgin strawberry daiquiris at the Orlando Florida luxury hotel. There is also a very nice game room and activity center full of things to do right off of the pool area.

When it comes to your dining needs, look no further than right down the elevator for a huge range of diverse foods spread among ten lounges and restaurants. The Marriott’s restaurants specialize in anything from sushi to good quality prime beef to margaritas to pizza and burgers. In fact, according to the Marriott World Center Orlando web site, three of their restaurant facilities were named the top best in the whole Orlando area: Ristorante Tuscany, Hawk’s Landing Steakhouse and Grille and Mikado Japanese Steakhouse. There is also a Starbucks located in the main hotel lobby and on occasion, the Orlando Florida luxury hotel will offer free iced tea, lemonade or water complimented by strawberries or other fresh fruit for added flavor for all guests.
And of course the Orlando Florida luxury hotel experience would not be the same without appropriate shopping possibilities. There are several diverse shops of very high quality located at the hotel itself, but aside from typical souvenirs, newspapers, novelty gifts and convenience store items, the other items for sale are very specific in taste and brand and may not be desirable for everyone. If that is the case, and shopping is one of your main goals of activity while staying in Orlando, the hotel is just less than fifteen minutes from the huge Florida Mall, The Mall at Millennia, The Downtown Disney Marketplace, Orlando Premium Outlets and Belz Factory Outlet World.
With so much to do at the Marriott World Center Orlando Hotel, there is little need to fill up each day away from the facility, but if you do wish to travel to various theme parks in the area, feel confident in knowing that you can do so with ease. The Marriott is very close to Disney World Resort and Theme Parks as well as the Universal Studios Theme Parks and Sea World. Check with the hotel before you visit the area and chances are, depending on where you wish to visit, you will be blessed with some sort of promotional package deal or seasonally rated prices specific to hotel guests. For many of the parks you will be able to skip the lines, and purchase your tickets directly from the hotel ahead of time. And as for transportation, shuttle busses are available for free to and from Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, CityWalk, SeaWorld, Discovery Cove and Wet N Wild. There is an extra fee for transportation to Disney but it is possible. Also, if you need to obtain your own transportation while staying in the Orlando area, an Enterprise Rent A Car Center makes its home on the hotel property as well.
The Marriott Hotel World Center Orlando, Florida is by far my all time favorite Orlando Florida luxury hotel and due to my father’s business constant business meetings while growing up, I’ve had the lucky opportunity to visit a lot of them. I like this hotel because not only is it absolutely beautiful but for a kid it is like a playground and for an adult, once again, “paradise”. I won’t lie and say that it is cheap but for being the Marriott World Headquarters, a little more than $200 a night really isn’t so bad when aligned with the benefits you get along with it. I highly recommend visiting this hotel while you are in the Orlando or Lake Buena Vista area and taking advantage of everything the Orlando Florida luxury hotel has to offer.
