Orlando, Florida: World-Famous Theme Parks and Cultural Surprises

Located in the center of Florida, Orlando may be forever associated with the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks—the world’s most-visited entertainment resort. Spanning roughly 30,000 acres, it encompasses four theme parks, two water parks, five golf courses, and the Disney Springs® Area. There’s no shortage of things to do here: begin your day by boarding a rocket-shaped three-seater that climbs to 180 feet before entering a deep black tunnel and racing past stars, satellites, and constellations. Walk across the park to sample Moroccan cuisine for lunch, or ride a dune buggy through a haunted mansion. Before heading back to the hotel, take in the nightly fireworks, laser, and water show. One of the most popular family destinations in the world, sunny Orlando is also home to Universal Orlando—which includes The Wizarding World of Harry Potter—SeaWorld, and Gatorland.

Those hoping to shake up the typical theme-park-dominated itinerary can head into downtown Orlando's vibrant arts district. The neighborhood boasts venues such as CityArts Factory, a multifaceted patchwork of gallery spaces, and SAK Comedy Lab, which hosts family-friendly improv shows five nights a week.

Ivo was the best! After a long day of travel and inconvenience Ivo at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and kind! I really wish they had a breakfast included with the stay considering we have to pay a resort fee and don’t even get daily cleaning. The rooms could certainly use new air conditioners to be in Florida but all in all it’s an okay stay.

Amazing Experience thanks to Evelyn at BW Orlando Gateway I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience here at this hotel. If I had known in advance, I would have booked a longer stay. The bed was originally going to be two doubles but was upgraded to a King for us, which I'm so grateful for. The front desk person, Evelyn, was delightful _ she helped us to ensure we got transferred to universal studios and she helped us get an Uber to the airport at checkout. She was so friendly and patient and made our stay that much more enjoyable. We definitely would stay here again and definitely recommend this hotel to others. Special thank you to Evelyn for going above and beyond in customer service.
