Vacations in Florida
Featured Resort: JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes
Hotel Information: Beautifully manicured grounds, brightly colored flowers, and tall trees line the long, curved road leading to this Spanish-style Marriott hotel. Brick walkways connect the hotel to The Ritz-Carlton Resort, where guests have access to all amenities. The lobby lounge is a popular gathering place for business travelers, couples, and families at the end of a busy day.
Amenity highlights: This Florida resort’s wide lazy river flows through caves and under waterfalls, emptying into a heated pool. Guests have privileges at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, an 18-hole championship golf course designed by Greg Norman, as well as a 40,000-square-foot health spa with complimentary fitness center.
Insider tip: Just outside the hotel, guests can see the chef’s organic garden planted with herbs, tomatoes, peppers, and other produce used in the Primo restaurant.
The 26-story resort offers 1,000 spacious guestrooms with signature bedding: thick mattress, separate pillowtop, down duvet, triple sheeting with 300-thread-count sheets, extra pillows, and a decorative throw and pillow sham.
Marble bathrooms include telephones, makeup/shaving mirrors, Nirvae amenities, bathrobes, separate tubs, and glass-enclosed showers. Some rooms have unfurnished balconies, and executive suites have private bedrooms and separate living areas with sofa beds.
All rooms provide high-speed Internet access (surcharge) and flat-screen TVs with HBO, pay movies, and video games (surcharge). Other amenities include minibars, coffee/tea makers, and in-room safes. Complimentary newspapers are delivered on weekdays.
Upon check-in, guests can request JW Marriott’s Wired for Business service, with high-speed Internet access and unlimited local and domestic long-distance calls for a daily fee.
