Travel
Lodging: Location Is Key
You have already decided to
come to one of the most
beloved vacation spots
anywhere, Central Florida.
Now, you are left to decide
what fabulous restaurants you
want to dine at and what area
attractions you want to visit.
Once you have decided, you
should choose a location
centered in the middle of the
action. After all, vacation is
about relaxation and
convenience. Your vacation
lodging should be close to the
action. Your vacation lodging
should, also, be a wonderful
and comforting home away from
home. Central Florida’s
travel lodging is at your
fingertips. Planning your
vacation is easy and just a
few clicks away.
A lot of vacationers only
think of one type of vacation
lodging, the hotel. The
Orlando, Florida area has a
wide variety of choices for
travel lodging, including
luxury hotels, discount
hotels, villas and time share
resorts. Explore your options
to ensure that you will be a
happy and relaxed traveler. No
matter what your decision,
there are attractions all
around you to put you in the
middle of the action,
including Walt Disney World
theme parks, Universal Orlando
theme parks, water parks,
shopping and exhibits.
Travel Lodging: Luxury Hotels
Central Florida offers a wide
array of choices in luxury
hotels for your vacation
lodging. Choose from the Walt
Disney World area to Universal
Studios area or, perhaps,
International Drive which
boasts an abundance of
shopping and nightlife.
Do you want to stay near the
Walt Disney World resort area?
Walt Disney World resort has
over 20 hotels to choose from
and the surrounding Lake Buena
Vista area has even more.
Disney’s Grand Floridian
luxury hotel has been a
favorite for decades. The
hotel sits right in the middle
of Walt Disney World property,
leaving you only moments away
from the theme parks. When you
walk into this grand hotel
lobby, you will be whisked
away by the sounds of the live
orchestra, arch windows, gas
lamps and breathtaking
chandeliers as if you just
walked into the turn of the
century. The Grand Floridian
Resort and Spa is truly a
grand choice for your travel
lodging. The staff is friendly
and ready to accommodate you
in any way they can. The Grand
Floridian has over 900 guest
rooms, with accommodations for
guests with disabilities,
also. Choose between the
garden view, lagoon view or
lodge tower. There are 5
restaurants to give you plenty
of dining choices. Visit
www.wdw4me.com/resorts/grand_floridian.htm
for more information on this
luxury hotel.
The Portofino Bay Hotel onsite
at Universal Orlando is a
newly built recreation of
Portofino, Italy, decorated
with cobblestone paths,
sidewalk cafes and shops.
Visiting either of the
Universal Orlando theme parks
is a breeze with your free
water taxi trips. All rooms
are decorated with an Italian
flair and the hotel offers
eight different restaurants
and cafes to choose from.
Think Universal isn’t close
enough to the action? Think
again because the Portofino
Bay Hotel is located just 12
miles from the Walt Disney
World resort, 7 miles from Sea
World Orlando and shopping is
only a short walk away at
Universal’s Citywalk. Check
www.orlando.com for 360deg
tours of the resort, rates and
availability.
Travel Lodging: Discount
Hotels
Central Florida has a variety
of travel lodging options for
your visit, including many
discount hotels, which still
offer you the comforts of
guest service and amenities to
keep you relaxed during your
busy stay. Choose between
names you know and love, such
as Howard Johnson, La Quinta,
Holiday Inn, Best Western and
Clarion. Most vacationers
become attached to a
particular place of lodging
that they know they can depend
on and why shouldn’t they?
If you know the service is
great, the comfort level is
high and the convenience is
perfect for you, then you have
made a great choice. You will
find a favorite name near any
attraction you plan to visit.
Want to stay near the Airport?
Relax in the comfort of the La
Quinta Inn Airport Suites,
Amerisuites Airport Northeast,
Holiday Inn or Fairfield Inn
Orlando Airport. It is
important to be comfortable
with your decision of vacation
lodging.
Travel Lodging: Vacation
Villas
The best part about choosing
to rent a villa for your
vacation is that “home away
from home” feeling you will
have. Central Florida has many
villa choices to suit your
needs, whether you are
traveling alone, with family
or with friends. Central
Florida villas are privately
owned and will meet even your
highest standards. The
vacation villa option for
travel lodging is great
because you will end up with
more space than a hotel room,
reduced costs and personal and
convenience items. Many villas
offer private pools and
lounging areas for better
relaxation. The vacation villa
option is a choice that would
be completely fulfilling to
you or your guests on your
Central Florida vacation. Care
to golf? Many of these
vacation villas are set right
on scenic golf courses. There
is so much more to Central
Florida than theme parks!
Island Club Resort and Spa
offers luxury town homes,
where the comfort of home
shines through with its cozy
atmosphere, charming appeal,
fully equipped kitchens and
dvd or vcr players in every
room. Need a day of rest and
relaxation from all the
Orlando area activity? You
will feel as comfortable as if
you were in your own bed at
Island Club Resort. The luxury
town homes offer a wide
selection of rooms from
small/economy for the
vacationing couple to 5
bedroom, 3 bath villas for
families. You don’t have to
worry about not having the
luxuries a hotel can offer
because Island Club Resort and
Spa has an on-site 24-hour
staff to accommodate whatever
needs you may have, as well as
a restaurant, fitness center,
resort style pool and relaxing
spa. Visit www.island-club.com
to book your reservations
today.
Travel Lodging: Time Share
Resorts
Time share is an option a lot
of vacationers often forget
about, but it can be a very
comfortable lodging
experience. What is time
share? Time share is an
opportunity for you to
purchase time at a fully
furnished accommodation,
usually in weekly increments,
at a much lower price than it
would cost to own a vacation
home. The most popular type of
time share is a resort condo,
which ranges in size from a
small studio with a partial
kitchen to spacious, multiple
bedroom units with full
kitchen and luxury
accommodations. You are able
to own a piece of the resort,
but still be catered to
similar to any luxury hotel.
Many familiar names are now
taking part in this wonderful
opportunity for you, including
Fairfield, Sunterra, Marriott
and Hilton. Marriott’s
Grande Vista time share resort
sits on 160 acres of land,
with convenient access to
golf, theme parks and
thrilling nightlife. The
resort has over 20 buildings
and 726 villas. This is one of
the largest resorts that
Marriott’s Vacation Club has
to offer. This resort offers a
9 hole golf course with a 35
acre practice area, as well as
a neighboring state of the art
18 hole course for the active
vacationer. The activities of
theme parks, nightclubs,
shopping, attractions,
restaurants and sports are
never ending in Central
Florida and this resort puts
you right in the middle of it.
Visit www.vacationclub.com for
more information on time
shares.
Vacation Lodging: Travel
Experience
The most important tip for
choosing your vacation lodging
is to make sure your
experience is one of a
lifetime. You should be
comfortable in your lodging
decision and your
accommodations should leave
you feeling relaxed after a
tiring day. Make sure you
choose a spacious room, with
plenty of amenities that will
make you feel as if you never
left home. Almost any resort
in the area is near plenty of
activity. Whatever lodging
