ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Located in the Disney Springs® Resort Area in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa is now open for accommodations, meetings and events, spa, and dining experiences. Renaissance Hotels, part of Marriott Bonvoy’s global portfolio of over 30 extraordinary hotel brands, is known for connecting travelers to the spirit of the neighborhood through unexpected discoveries. The full-service resort features 394 newly appointed guest rooms, more than 25,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor meeting space, a zero-entry pool and hot tub, and signature farm-to-table restaurant, American Kitchen Bar & Grill.

Following the $25 million renovation, Renaissance Orlando Resort and Spa boasts newly renovated amenities including the expansive Indulged Spa + Wellness Retreat with an array of rejuvenating services and treatments, a 5,000 square foot outdoor terrace perfect for events and groups, a fitness studio, updated rooms and lobby. As an Official Walt Disney World® Hotel, guests have access to a theme park shuttle service and early entry into Walt Disney World® theme parks. Onsite outdoor amenities include the pool, hot tub, and more. Ground-level rooms feature stunning lanai-style accommodations circling the pool for resort-style ambience.

The resort tapped New York-based hospitality design firm Stonehill Taylor to complete the interior design for the renovation, with modern aesthetics exemplifying the tropical essence of Florida. Inspired by the local citrus groves of Orlando, the resort’s modern design pops with blue-greens, crisp white, and accents of terracotta. Along with new carpeting, signage, and light fixtures in the corridors, the rooms provide distinct and memorable decor elements including a ceiling design that emulates a sun canopy. The resort’s pool bar unifies the lobby’s tropical theme with geometric palm-inspired tile updated, pool loungers and umbrellas, all offering a playful and vibrant feel throughout.

The Renaissance Navigator, the brand’s on-property neighborhood expert, is always on hand to help guests uncover the DNA of the surrounding area with handpicked discoveries not found in guidebooks. For those interested in a truly tailored outing, guests can build a custom itinerary to stimulate their senses with the locally attuned insight of the Renaissance Navigator.

Only 13 miles from Orlando International Airport, the resort is conveniently located for intimate meetings, cocktail receptions, corporate retreats, weddings, celebratory events, and more. The intimate convention space allows for tailored experiences such as chef-curated specialties. The resort’s $25 million renovation provides the opportunity to choose from indoor or outdoor meetings, with flexible function space and a personalized experience. The newly opened 5,000 square foot terrace provides exceptional space for creative decor and programming.
