Top-rated hotels in Orlando
This shortlist gathers the best-supported top-rated hotels in Orlando, all 15 classed 4-star or 5-star with guest scores from verified stays. It is for couples, families and business travellers choosing between the Disney resorts, Universal and the International Drive addresses.
Staying in Orlando
Orlando is in Florida, and every stay listed here is classed four or five star by the supplier, 6 of them five. The Disney resorts sit inside the resort itself: West Seven Seas Drive, Floridian Way, Epcot Resort Boulevard, North Cove Road, West Buena Vista Drive, North World Drive and Broadway Street name the Disney complexes, from the Polynesian and Grand Floridian to Saratoga Springs and Old Key West. The rest sit along the tourist corridors: Universal Boulevard, International Drive, Central Florida Parkway, One Grand Cypress Boulevard, Hollywood Way and Central Florida Parkway. The Disney group suits families and couples who want the parks on the doorstep, with Disney's Beach Club and Yacht Club on Epcot Resort Boulevard and Disney's BoardWalk Inn also on Epcot Resort Blvd. International Drive and Universal Boulevard suit short breaks and business travellers who want the convention corridor and the parks within a drive. Grande Lakes and Grand Cypress suit couples and families who want a quieter, resort-style base.

4401 Floridian Way
Why stay hereGrand Floridian pairs a 5-star rating with 4.7 out of 5 from 14556 reviews, placing it among Orlando's most consistently praised addresses.
