A ritzy 4-star hotel known for its renowned quietude and all-stops amenities, JW Marriott Grande Lakes is an opulent way to enjoy the city. Offering opulent suites, a beautiful spa, and hundreds of acres of land to roam about, it’s easy to enjoy a place that makes it hard to leave. The popular resort is also home to 3 cafes, 2 restaurants, and a sprawling golf course as perfect for doing business as the two-dozen conference rooms. Whether you’re heading to the nearby Orlando Convention Center or taking advantage of how close you are to Walt Disney World, you’ll need a solid lift to get there. Reserve a ride of your own for intimate ease, or take advantage of JW’s free area shuttle for a quick drop-off.
Make the most of the surrounding region by knowing what’s close, starting with where to grab breakfast, whether it’s at Cafe Bodega downstairs or Fortuna Bakery & Cafe on John Young Parkway. Head west on Central Florida Parkway a variety of theme parks at some point, the closest being Discovery Cove, home to massive swimming pools and the chance to swim with dolphins. Those looking for something less crowded and more laid-back should head to the Dr. P. Phillips Community Park, home to lakeside views and simple trails that get the blood flowing. End the day with a dinner that hits the right spot, choosing between the patio breeze at Citron downstairs or the renowned dishes of chef Norman Van Aken at Norman’s Restaurant, located at the Ritz-Carlton next-door.
