The 15 Best Disney World Hotels
"The Waldorf Astoria Orlando echos its under-renovation New York counterpart, with casual elegance suited to its Central Florida setting. The iconic Waldorf clock tower welcomes guests into the gleaming lobby rotunda, which was redesigned in 2023 along with the rest of the property. Guest rooms have plush bedding with a warm, soothing color scheme inspired by the resort’s natural surroundings, and bathrooms are spacious and well-designed, with separate walk-in showers and soaking tubs—a plus for families with young children—plush spa robes, and Aesop toiletries. Get outside to enjoy the 18-hole championship golf course, designed by acclaimed course architect Rees Jones, or the serene, cabana-lined pool, where attendants are on hand with Prosecco popsicles." - Valerie Marino
