Character and identity
A 17-storey twin-tower statement in two undulating curves, this 2021 arrival anchors the tech-forward Lake Nona community 10 minutes from Orlando International and roughly half an hour from the Disney parks. The 234 rooms and suites lean bright and contemporary, layered with Frette linens and AI-driven smart windows that adjust for heat. The grounds hold a sculpture garden, a substantive art collection, and the Haven Pool ringed by cabanas in hot pink, orange and blue. BACÁN, chef Guillaume Robin's pan-Americas restaurant, is the culinary anchor; the Wave App handles keyless entry, dining and in-room controls.
Who's it for
Best for:
Design-minded travellers and wellness seekers who want an Orlando base that isn't a theme-park hotel. The included access to the 130,000-square-foot Lake Nona Performance Club, with rock climbing, a Deepak Chopra Mind Body Zone and a multi-pool aquatics centre, makes this a strong pick for fitness-led couples, longer-stay business guests, and families who want pool days plus park days.
Should look elsewhere:
Guests who want to walk out the door into Disney or Universal energy will find this the wrong side of town. Traditionalists who prefer classic resort styling over bright fabrics, app-driven service and a master-planned suburban setting should look at International Drive or the Disney-area resorts.
Bottom line
The defining pitch here is wellness and design at a tech-forward remove from the parks, not proximity to them. Book if the Performance Club access, BACÁN's cooking and a quieter Orlando stay matter more than a Disney-adjacent address; the entry-level 422-square-foot rooms are generous, but the pool cabanas are where the property's personality lands.
