Imagine sitting poolside in your own private cabana… a refreshing glass of blueberry lemonade at your side, AKA Mom on your Kindle and your kiddos enjoying water basketball in front of you while you relax and unwind. Sound amazing? It is! And best of all, this piece of paradise is nestled right next to the most magical place on earth! At the Hilton Orlando you are not only able to enjoy a luxurious and family friendly stay but you are surrounded by several of the major attractions that Orlando has to offer – Sea World, Universal Studios Orlando and you guessed it, Walt Disney World.
Hilton Orlando is rated as a AAA Four Diamond hotel, two time Connie Award winner, and has consistently ranked within the top three Orlando-area hotels on TripAdvisor.com rankings and it’s easy to see why. Upon walking into the gorgeous and inviting lobby you can tell right away that this hotel was designed to provide a memorable experience.
Mornings are a delight at The Bistro, Hilton Orlando’s own modern American bistro featuring simple, fresh, and natural food in a comfortable and casual setting. The menu showcases dishes with farm-to-table ingredients, in season, from Florida’s coastal areas. Kids will love the malted waffles in warm maples syrup and parents will love making a trip to the omelet station where the choices are endless! The Bistro is also open for lunch and offers affordable and delicious fare for you and your family!
Stop by The Spa on your way past The Bistro and make an appointment for later for a ReFresh Manicure, Swedish Massage or a “Me Time” Facial. The fitness center is also open to those guests who want to take advantage of their state-of-the-art Precor Cardio equipment, strength training and free weights. All the Precor stations are outfitted with individual flat screen LCD cardio theater units for personal viewing so working out still feels like a vacation.
Start your evening off right with a divine dinner at Spencer’s for Steaks and Chops. With a wide variety of handcrafted dishes you’ll have trouble deciding between the Kansas City Strip and the Lobster Two Ways. But not to worry, Spencer’s also has plenty of choices to accommodate the little tummies at your table! Chef Kevin Spencer makes sure all his customers are taken care of… big or small! When it comes to wonderful service, ask for Che! Che is a server at Spencer’s for Steaks and Chops and he will make you feel on top of the world with his Class A service and welcoming smile.
After a good nights sleep in one of Hilton’s Serenity Beds which includes an exclusive Suite Dreams mattress and box spring, Super Topper mattress pad, down-filled comforters, Touch of Down pillows and 250 thread-count sheets and duvet covers, you’ll all be ready to head down to the pool for the day. Enjoy a mojito or citrus sangria from Tropics Pool Bar & Grill or grab a snow cone for the kiddos. There’s something for everyone to do with a lazy river, loopy waterslide, frog fountain and recreation courts. Later that night, move over by the fire and eat some S’mores! Yummy!!
Family vacations are all about making memories and building relationships. And if couture comfort and a family focused atmosphere is what you are looking for, AKA Mom thinks Hilton Orlando is the perfect destination!
