The Best Hotels to Book in and Near Winter Garden, Florida
Stretching west of Downtown Orlando, Winter Garden is an idyllic retreat. A charming main street with mom-and-pop cafes, diners, and boutique shops lies in the heart of the city. However, out-of-towners will enjoy its easy access to the thrill rides of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando Resort. Whatever your reason for visiting, these are the best hotels in Winter Garden.
1. SpringHill Suites Orlando at Flamingo Crossings®
Suite Hotel, Hotel
Spend more time upside down on rollercoasters with a stay at SpringHill Suites, just a mile (1.6km) from the western entrance of Walt Disney World. A resort-style pool and 24-hour fitness center help you unwind after a day of all-thrills action. Grabbing food on the go? Hit up its 24-hour market and store your snacks in the suite refrigerator. Make sure you request a room with evening views of the fireworks.
2. TownePlace Suites by Marriott Orlando at Flamingo Crossings®
Hotel, Apartment
Planning a longer stay? TownePlace Suites provides all the home comforts needed. The apartment-like studios are spacious, offering a fully equipped kitchen and living area. Work up an appetite by lifting the free weights or pounding the cardio equipment at the 24-hour fitness center. Then visit Flamingo’s Bar & Grille for family-friendly cuisine (burgers, sandwiches, and pizza). Just one mile (1.6km) from the west entrance of Walt Disney World, you’re right next to the Happiest Place on Earth.

4. The Grove Resort & Water Park Orlando
Resort
The Grove Resort offers so much fun, your kids will think it’s another iconic theme park and not just one of the best hotels in Winter Garden. Let them cannonball in the resort pool complex, fish off the Lake Austin pier, and hit the high-score at Flip Flop’s Family Fun Center. Give your little ones a few hours of supervised entertainment in the Kids’ Activity Center so you can sneak off to the Escape Spa for a Himalayan salt stone massage.
5. Liki Tiki Village by Diamond Resorts
Resort
This Polynesian-themed, family-friendly resort is a tropical paradise; the type of place where drinks come with a colorful umbrella leaning against the rim. Enjoy your daily libations by the 1.5-acre (0.6ha) Liki Tiki Lagoon as your children run with glee from the erupting water volcano. Dry off before you chow down on fajitas at Shipwreck Sally’s. Then it’s time for a round of minigolf. After you put the kids to bed in their own cozy room, order dessert from Sally’s and enjoy it on your outdoor patio.
6. Arnold Palmer's Bay Hill Club & Lodge
Resort, Spa Hotel, Lodge
7. Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando

Roll out of bed in your Despicable Me family suite and enjoy early access to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Don’t worry about finding a parking spot; Portofino Bay Hotel has waterways and walking paths that connect directly to Universal Studios and the Islands of Adventure. When you return from a day of thrill rides, dine on Italian dishes at one of their seven restaurants. Just make sure to save room for a few scoops of gelato.
8. Orange County National Golf Center and Lodge

Looking to squeeze in a little golf? A stay at Orange County National Lodge includes complimentary access to their nine-hole Tooth Course and a bucket of range balls before your first round.
