18 Best Hotels in Orlando, Florida

"The terra-cotta roof and Mediterranean-style architecture of The Alfond Inn are quintessentially Florida, and the airy, light-filled lobby showcases a rotating collection from The Alfond Collection of Contemporary Art at Rollins College, which guests can take a guided tour of on the first Wednesday of the month. (Owned by Rollins College, the hotel was partially funded by a grant from the Harold Alfond Foundation, and its profits are used to endow a scholarship fund at the school.) The hotel is on the former site of the Langford Inn, which hosted high-profile guests including Eleanor Roosevelt, June Carter Cash, and Nancy and Ronald Reagan, who celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary here. Guest rooms are comfortable and clean with pops of lemon yellow and peacock blue; bathrooms are modern and spacious, and many rooms have walk-in showers." - Valerie Marino
