MarriottCitrus-accented glass tower
This glass tower is a quieter, adult-attuned alternative to its megaresort sisters, keeping full Disney park privileges.
What it’s good at
Listed
Guest rooms carry artwork and textiles referencing central Florida's historic citrus groves.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Disney's BoardWalk is a short stroll away, and a walking path leads straight to Epcot.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows look out toward the parks. Textiles and artwork nod to central Florida's historic citrus groves.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The 90-foot heated pool sits on an elevated third-floor deck lined with cabanas and a fire pit.
The gym
The second-floor gym looks out through tall windows, equipped with Life Fitness machines and free weights.
At the table
Amare serves Mediterranean dishes beside a glass wine room, and Stir pours cocktails beneath lush hanging greenery.
How it began
The 14-story tower rose on the site of the resort's former tennis courts, opening in late 2021.
