Hyatt Regency Orlando 

A swish stay on International Drive

The upscale Hyatt Regency Orlando is a centrally located on I-Drive, putting you within easy reach of many Orlando attractions.

One of the benefits of staying at a towering 26-floor hotel like this is the choices of in-resort activities and restaurants it gives you. There are three restaurants (including a must-visit Italian steakhouse), a smattering of vibrant social spaces, and ooh-lovely extras like a full-service spa, rooftop tennis court, a games lounge, and firepits, plus a 24-hour market for early-morning and late-night snacks. A selection of swimming pools includes options with a slide and waterfalls, and a roster of resort activities stand-by to keep everyone entertained – “I’m bored” is never an uttered phrase in these parts.

Why we love Hyatt Regency Orlando

  • At the convivial Descend 21, you can have a game of pool, play electric darts, practice your golf swing, or find a seat around a roaring firepit.

  • It’s well-positioned on International Drive to visit Universal Orlando and Walt Disney World, although there’s no complimentary transport available, so you’ll have to make your own way to the parks.

  • You’ll pay a daily resort fee, but you’ll get I-Ride Trolley tickets for getting around International Drive, two daily bottles of water, and credits and discounts to use in the hotel.

  • Upgrade your pool day and hire a cabana with chaises, a couch, a TV, a small fridge, and a ceiling fan to help keep you cool.

From a slap-up meal at an Italian steakhouse to quick poolside bites at Coconuts, Hyatt Regency Orlando has something for every moment and every mood.
