JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes

JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes sits on Central Florida Pkwy, positioned for those who want proximity to the major attractions without staying inside the theme park gates. It is a five-minute drive from both SeaWorld Orlando and Discovery Cove.

Most visitors to this part of Orlando are trapped by the frantic pace of the nearby parks, but this property uses its size to force a different speed. While its neighbors prioritize proximity to the turnstiles, this venue focuses on a self-contained ecosystem of a golf course, spa, and multiple pools. It is the better choice for travelers who view the local theme parks as a single-day excursion rather than the entire reason for their trip, as the sprawling grounds make it easy to forget the surrounding industry entirely.
