With the addition of several new hotels, and the remodel of an existing favorite, Orlando's facilities are sure to please meeting professionals.

Private gatherings can reserve poolside areas or a 25,000-square-foot island. Of course, all of the amenities you can imagine are available at the hotel, including world-class dining, a championship golf course, spa and 497 exquisitely appointed guest rooms.
