What it’s good at
What they say
Also in AFAR.
The amenity-rich, 2,009-room Orlando World Center Marriott comes fully loaded with attractions—as expected for the world’s largest Marriott Hotel.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
The grounds sit in Bonnet Creek, placing Walt Disney World and Orlando's theme parks just a short drive away.
The rooms
Renovated rooms have hard-surface floors and cool blue palettes, and most bathrooms come with walk-in showers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Waterfalls spill into the zero-entry lagoon pool, beside submerged sun shelves and a 90-foot speed slide.
The spa
Quiet relaxation lounges open into private treatment rooms for body scrubs, facials, and paraffin hand rituals.
The gym
The glass-walled gym looks out over the grounds, holding free weights, circuit equipment, and rows of cardio machines.
Restaurant
Siro Urban Italian Kitchen
Pizzas and handmade pastas draw on ingredients from an on-site garden and local Florida farms.
Lobby Bar
The atrium lounge serves craft cocktails and fresh rolls from a dedicated sushi counter under lit wooden canopies.
At the table
Latitude & Longitude serves Southern-inspired American dishes along dark leather banquettes, drawing on seasonal Florida ingredients.
How it began
The hotel opened in 1986 and expanded in 2002 to become the largest property in Marriott's global portfolio.

The eight vibes

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.
Heritage
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.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
