Forbes Four-Star
Forbes Travel Guide

Also in Condé Nast Traveler.
Despite its size, the Waldorf Astoria provides common areas that feel relaxed and thoroughly elegant.
Tucked away
A place apart: the property is the destination.
Tucked inside the Bonnet Creek Nature Preserve, protected pine wetlands surround the resort just minutes from the theme park gates.
The rooms
Soft botanical greens and sunset hues dress the rooms, complemented by generous marble bathrooms with separate glass-enclosed showers.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated outdoor pools sit bordered by palm trees and private cabanas, looking out across the lake fountain.
The spa
Therapies draw on local Tupelo honey, and treatment rooms hold glowing Himalayan salt brick walls and quartz sand beds.
The gym
Cardio machines and free weights face windows looking out over the pool and golf course.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Oscar's Brasserie prepares morning breakfast buffets, and Park Avenue Cafe serves espresso and pastries from its marble counter.
How it began
Marking the brand's first venture outside Manhattan, the property translates historic New York glamour into a subtropical Florida setting.
