What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
The lobby is resplendent in richly figured Italian marble and the rooms are modern and minimalist, but not without warmth, and the comforts are first-rate.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on a calm Kissimmee road, the hotel is minutes from Disney's Animal Kingdom, with theme park firework views from the rooftop.
The rooms
Interiors feature minimalist cream palettes and pale wood floors, while dedicated Wellness Suites add in-room workout equipment.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The courtyard pool is lined with tropical palms and teak loungers topped with custom Frette linens.
The spa and gym
The spa has a circular relaxation lounge for post-treatment rest, and the gym is outfitted with Pent luxury weights.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Salt & The Cellar serves Asian and Mediterranean plates by Akira Back, and bartenders mix botanical mocktails with courtyard herbs.
How it began
The property reimagines classic hospitality with a glass-walled laundry museum that showcases the meticulous pressing and folding of guest linens.
