– Best for beach resort vibes –

Located in the airport’s main terminal, the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport hotel is a piece of luxury removed from the hectic Disney scene – but convenient to it nonetheless. What separates this Orlando airport hotel from other airport hotels is that it features a year-round outdoor pool, an amenity not possible in colder climates and overlooked frequently even in warmer ones. Why stay at an Airbnb near Disney World when you have an early flight out — or a late flight in?

The Hyatt Regency features onsite dining and has the feel of a resort, all within the airport. There’s no fear of oversleeping and missing your flight when the security checkpoint is literally a stroll from the check-in desk. Just don’t forget to enjoy the hot breakfast on the way out. The pancakes are extra fluffy in the thick Florida air.

Where the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport Hotel stands apart:

  • Dining. The hotel is packed with many dining options for adults and children. Choose from room service, McCoy’s Bar and Grill, and Hemisphere Restaurant.
  • Convenience. The hotel is located near many of Orlando’s famous attractions and golf, shopping in Lake Nona, and other activities.
  • Services. The hotels offer baggage-retrieval upon arrival, an airline ticket counter, boarding pass printing, an on-site ATM, and a fitness concierge.
