There are so many advantages to being in the heart of Orlando’s iconic convention district with the DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Hotel at SeaWorld!
Meeting professionals looking to deliver sunshine to their winter-weary groups should look no further than DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld. Ideally positioned just 10 miles from the Orlando International Airport and strolling distance from the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), a recent $30 million lift is just the proverbial icing on this cake; many other advantages await groups meeting at this remarkable property.
Orlando is widely regarded for its plethora of convention hotels, but the DoubleTree by Hilton has additional location advantages, including its proximity to SeaWorld (and its Aquatica waterpark) that not only attracts groups but welcomes them with open arms. Still in the neighborhood are the other two Orlando stalwarts: Universal Studios Orlando and Walt Disney World Resort.
Your guests will appreciate an easy walk or trolley ride to the area’s best dining and entertainment districts, such as The Pointe or ICON Park, where guests can ride the renowned Wheel. Choose from one of many popular eateries, such as Blake Shelton’s Ole Red that dishes up the full country experience with what they call 100-proof live music, scratch-made dishes and signature drinks.
Set on 28 lush acres, the hotel has decked out a new look with features geared to elevate your meeting experience. Sparkly crystal chandeliers illuminate your guests in the new Majestic Ballroom at the Palms Conference Center, already renowned as the backdrop for many first-class meetings and special events. At just over 18,000 square feet, flexibility and style is assured for larger events, but regardless of size, meetings can be well accommodated in the more than 82,000 square feet of total event space comprised in 40 meeting rooms.
An impressive outdoor space sits surrounded by lushly landscaped grounds that includes the Palm Promenade with its covered pavilion and pristine lawn. Other outdoor event space includes the Harbor Terrace for sunset views for up to 120; the 6,140-square-foot Veranda off the Palms Promenade which accommodates up to 600 for a reception; Pavilion for 359 guests with shade and firepits; Court, at 4,776 square feet located on the lawn beside the Pavilion; and last, but certainly not least, the Terrace will delight up to 1,078 guests on the Palms Promenade for large receptions.
Other upgrades to the hotel include covered walkways, a new fitness center, technology enhancements and the renovation of all guest rooms. Multiple pools and a miniature golf course round out a plethora of amenities.
Onsite restaurants include Laguna Restaurant & Bar for a bountiful breakfast, or a lunch of salads and signature sandwiches, and after five, dinner is served with such delectable fare as sweet and spicy ribs and marinated salmon.
Alberto’s Pizzeria rolls out the dough for Italian specialties, Barefoot Bar for poolside libations and light fare, and Sonoma Lobby Bar for breakfast, lunch and a chilled cocktail with tapas. A perfect place to relax and an ideal spot for people watching.
