Located in the Disney
Springs Resort Area in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa is now open for
accommodations, meetings and events, spa, and dining experiences. Renaissance Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy's global
portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, is known for connecting
travelers to the spirit of the neighborhood through unexpected discoveries. The
full-service resort features 394 newly appointed guest rooms, more than 25,000
square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, a zero-entry pool and hot tub,
and signature farm-to-table restaurant, American Kitchen Bar & Grill.
Following the $25 million renovation,
Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa boasts newly renovated amenities including
the expansive Indulged Spa + Wellness Retreat with an array of rejuvenating
services and treatments, a 5,000 square foot outdoor terrace perfect for events
and groups, a fitness studio, updated rooms and lobby. As an Official Walt
Disney World Hotel, guests have access to a theme park shuttle service and
early entry into Walt Disney World theme parks. Onsite outdoor
amenities include the pool, hot tub, and more. Ground-level rooms feature
stunning lanai-style accommodations circling the pool for resort-style
ambience.
"We are delighted to
offer a vibrant stay with elevated amenities and engaging activities,"
said Charlie Kingston, General Manager for the Renaissance Orlando Resort
and Spa. "Our staff is deeply connected to the neighborhood, an essential
experience at Renaissance Hotels, and we look forward to providing premium
services for all of our guests."
The resort tapped New
York-based hospitality design firm Stonehill Taylor to complete the interior design for
the renovation, with modern aesthetics exemplifying the tropical essence
of Florida. Inspired by the local citrus groves of Orlando, the
resort's modern design pops with blue-greens, crisp white, and accents of
terracotta. Along with new carpeting, signage, and light fixtures in the
corridors, the rooms provide distinct and memorable decor elements including a
ceiling design that emulates a sun canopy. The resort's pool bar unifies the
lobby's tropical theme with geometric palm-inspired tile updated, pool loungers
and umbrellas, all offering a playful and vibrant feel throughout.
The Renaissance Navigator, the
brand's on-property neighborhood expert, is always on hand to help guests
uncover the DNA of the surrounding area with handpicked discoveries not found
in guidebooks. For those interested in a truly tailored outing, guests can
build a custom itinerary to stimulate their senses with the locally attuned
insight of the Renaissance Navigator.
Only 13 miles from Orlando International
Airport, the resort is conveniently located for intimate meetings, cocktail
receptions, corporate retreats, weddings, celebratory events, and more. The
intimate convention space allows for tailored experiences such as chef-curated
specialties. The resort's $25 million renovation provides the
opportunity to choose from indoor or outdoor meetings, with flexible function
space and a personalized experience. The newly opened 5,000 square foot terrace
provides exceptional space for creative decor and programming.

Spa participates in Marriott Bonvoy – the award-winning travel program from
