The house
MarriottArt-focused boutique tower
The tower anchors downtown Orlando's cultural corridor, enlivened by daily cocktail carts and live piano beneath the rotunda.
What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The Dr. Phillips Center and City Hall sit just across Orange Avenue, and Lake Eola is a short walk away.
The rooms
Custom artwork by local artist John Whipple hangs in the guest rooms, framed by crisp Art Deco details.
The rooftop pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
The rooftop pool overlooks downtown Orlando beside a whirlpool. Indoors, the gym is equipped with treadmills and free weights.
Restaurant
Libra
Curved booths sit beneath sculptural leaf chandeliers. The kitchen serves Floridian fare with Latin accents and hosts Sunday jazz brunches.
At the table
Bar Libra pours craft cocktails beneath a crystal orb chandelier, set against arched checkerboard floors and green leather stools.
How it began
The hotel spent over two decades as the Grand Bohemian, trading its dark velvet and European antiques for a distinctly local identity.

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.

A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.

A place apart: the property is the destination.
