Crowne Plaza Orlando Downtown Hotel Shuttles

At the heart of downtown’s modest Lake Dot neighborhood, the Crowne Plaza Orlando offers a lavish look inside and out. An all-suite choice of rooms include plush bedding, same-room sofas and fitness equipment upon request, not to mention homey French doors that open up to a private balcony. A work-oriented lobby also offers trendy work spaces & nooks, as well as a fashionable Studio Meeting Room. A free shuttle to Amway Center also makes things easy, though guests may want to consider renting a private vehicle for more freedom, choosing between small sedans for quick getaways into the outskirts or chartered buses that can bring big groups to big adventures. Professionals looking to get from point A to point B should go with a meet-and-greet service instead, arriving to locations like the Bob Carr Theater and Orlando Convention Center with the ease of a taxi, local personal driver or limousine.

Whether it’s for a family vacation or a quick overnight business trip, discovering something new in Orlando is an easy thing to do with the Crowne Plaza’s location. Start the morning early with a quick stroll across Gaston Edwards Park, located a couple minutes north on the adjacent Interstate 4 and offering intimate views of Lake Ivanhoe, afterward spending the rest of the day exploring dozens of gorgeous acres at the Harry P Leu Gardens, a historic 19th-century botanical garden home to a butterfly house and kitschy frog statues. Between these two parks are several American-inspired art exhibits that include the Orlando Museum of Art’s exceptional showcase of African-American works as well as innovative statue gardens and modern pieces at The Mennello Museum. And for dinner somewhere cool & original, settle down for tapas at Santiago’s Bodega, also considering nearby Mediterranean at the fashionable Ember.
