Independent guide and review of Florida as a holiday destination

Florida Hotel Information

There are a diverse range of hotels throughout Florida with corresponding price ranges. You will find all the major chains like Marriott, Hyatt, Hilton and Sheraton as well as lots of smaller groups and chains.

In most hotels in Florida, you just pay for the room, not per person

Most hotel rooms will also have a choice of either a king-sized bed (super king in England) or two doubles, so many can accommodate up to four people. All are usually en-suite.

Some hotels have suites where you have a living room/kitchenette adjoining your bedroom.

These can be quite versatile and give your more space to relax, especially if you have children with you.

If you are staying in the Orlando area, then many of the hotels will offer free transportation to the theme parks so it you are not planning on travelling far, you can get away without renting a car.

The Disney resort hotels are all themed, and provide extra amenities to their guests such as:

  • Character Breakfasts in their restaurants (attended by favourite Disney characters)
  • early entry into the parks before the rest of the world is allowed in and extra hours some evenings plus
  • free transportation between all the resorts and attractions and from the airport on their Magical Express service

There are two new hotels only a few minutes from SeaWorld and Discovery Cove, namely the Marriott Residence Inn and the Hilton Garden Inn.
