Located just south of the College Park neighborhood, the Residence Inn by Marriott along East Colonial Drive is one of the best downtown properties to stay in, not only for its 4-star quietude but priceless convenience to just about everything. Offering all-in-one studios that come with kitchenettes and striking suites with huge living areas, the locale makes central living as easy for business travelers as families. Take advantage of how close you are to everything, from what’s around the corner to what’s across the state, all at the convenience of the LYNX Central SunRail just three blocks south. Connecting to a vast network of scenic views, the train is a great way to get to know surrounding cities and beaches, not to mention your fellow man.
Go with a private ride sticking to what’s close in terms of what’s down the street as well as what you know you love. Start with a complimentary breakfast buffet downstairs, afterward going on an early morning walk through Lake Eola Park, a popular urban space home to paddle boat swans, outdoor vendors, and the marvelous architecture of the Saint George Orthodox Church. For business travelers heading to an event at the Orlando Convention Center, you may want to book a taxi to get across the thirty-minute distance - keep Orange Avenue in mind for the end of the night as well, choosing between a slew of cocktail bars and historic restaurants.
