Renaissance Orlando Resort – Disney Springs® Area

Stayed in a 5th floor king room which was spacious and clean, bed was comfortable, two botttles of water were supplied which were replaced once during our stay (not daily as they state), coffee pods were replaced daily but not creamer? Luckily there is a fridge so we bought milk to use instead. Rooms suffer from constant 24/7 traffic noise with the hotel being sandwiched between the I-4 and Hotel Plaza Boulevard, sound insulation is very poor, this was the same in both our initial 3rd floor room and our eventual 5th floor room, both with a Disney Springs view. We could also hear the conversation of the family in the adjacent room. I recommend ear plugs if you want to sleep! Room was changed without a problem after we visited the front desk. Housekeeping would visit at strange times like 6pm, room supplies like towels were not always fully replaced (they ran out of certain towels!) nor was toilet tissue which we had to request twice. Pool area was nice, clean and quiet during the week with no problems getting sunbeds at any time of the day, spa was lovely and warm. On site pool bar service was great. Hotel is about a 20 minute nice and easy walk to Disney Springs and we appreciated not having to drive every evening. Self Parking was readily available. If booking from the UK book through Virgin as the daily resort fee of $50.63 and Self parking fee of $31.85 is waived, which otherwise adds a huge cost to the stay. We had to visit guest services three times to get the charges removed, service from Virgin was great as they contacted the hotel on our behalf to resolve the issue.

I recently enjoyed a 21-night stay at The Renaissance Hotel & Spa, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Having only ever stayed on Disney property for the last 20 years, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but this hotel truly exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the service was outstanding. We were upgraded on arrival, and throughout our stay the staff consistently went above and beyond. Every team member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and welcoming — and with such a long stay, that personal touch made a big difference. On one occasion, we even returned to our room to find a bottle of bubbly waiting, which was such a thoughtful surprise. On our departure day, the staff kindly offered us a late checkout as we had a late flight, which was a huge help. The hotel itself has been recently renovated, and it shows — every area was spotless and beautifully maintained. Housekeeping did an excellent job each day, and little touches like complimentary bottled water in the room and water stations in the lobby were very much appreciated. The gym, though small, was extremely well-equipped and kept very clean; I used it several times during my stay. The pool area was another highlight, with fun and interactive entertainment that made for lively afternoons on Fridays and Saturdays. The rest of our stay the pool area was calm and quiet which was a nice contrast from the hassle and bustle of being at the parks . The shuttles to and from the parks were reliable and efficient, running every hour , making it easy to get around without any stress. Overall, this was a wonderful stay that combined comfort, thoughtful service, and great amenities. It felt like a true home away from home, and I would highly recommend The Renaissance Hotel & Spa to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again to Shauna and all the team , we will be back .

Amazing - This is a hotel that punches above it's weight! I've stayed at this hotel as an individual guest and as a conference host. In each scenario - from the front door, to the front desk, to the housekeeping team, banquet staff and restaurant staff, this team matches and/or exceeds the experience of a 5 star Disney resort . Everyone on the property seems to share in the ownership of the guest experience and the ONLY way this is accomplished is through leadership - it doesn't happen by accident. The property just underwent a remodel - it's classy, understated and importantly - insanely clean and comfortable. I love that it has a small footprint but also has everything you need . The food at the restaurant - just wow - pleasantly surprised that three consecutive times I had beef and pork cooked to the exact temp I requested (let's face it - it can be a gamble now and days). If you're there for work, there's tons of corners and work areas that feel like a classy living room. If you're there to relax, the pool is right sized - not fancy but quite nice. The only thing this property could do better is to rethink the gym - it's sufficient but way too small and fails to mirror the quality of the rest of the property .

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it to anyone! It's definitely worth every penny. From the moment I arrived, the customer service was exceptional. The valet staff were incredibly efficient, quick, and friendly. The lobby team was equally impressive - warm, welcoming, and truly made me feel at home. I actually booked this hotel last minute due to an unexpected issue with my original reservation, and I couldn't be happier that things worked out this way. What a pleasant surprise! The room exceeded all my expectations - spacious, immaculate, and comfortable. The air conditioning worked perfectly, which was such a relief. Everything about the accommodations was top-notch. The entire staff created such a welcoming atmosphere that made this stay truly memorable. I'll definitely be returning and recommending this hotel to friends and family. Five stars all around!

We had an absolutely amazing time at the hotel! From the easy access to the parking lot, to the hotel lobby that looked so pristine, and the staff friendliness, we enjoyed our stay very much. Everyone was very courteous and helpful. The front desk agents were very warm and welcoming, very knowledgeable about the hotel and the area; they were so kind with a smile on their faces interacting with our family members answering their endless questions. Management was so accommodating and patient assisting with all of our last minute requests. They went above and beyond making sure our event and guests were well taken care of, so much so that a few of the attendees were already looking at booking future trips and commending us selecting the hotel. Kudos to everyone!!

The Old Bride My visit to Renaissance Orlando Resort & Spa at Disney Springs felt like meeting an elegant elderly bride wearing a wedding dress—freshly dressed but unmistakably aged beneath the surface. Originally built in 1972 as The Royal Inn and later the Hotel Royal Plaza, this resort has seen several transformations, including its relaunch as the B Resort & Spa in 2014 and most recently a $25 million renovation in 2024, rebranded under Marriott’s Renaissance label . * Location & Design Nestled within walking distance of Disney Springs, the resort offers easy access to shops, restaurants, and entertainment—making its location solid for visitors aiming for the Disney experience without staying deep inside the parks . The interior redesign by Stonehill Taylor uses tropical palettes with blue‑green hues, crisp whites, and terracotta accents to evoke a Florida vibe, especially evident in common areas like the lobby, pool bar, and corridor canopies . * Architectural Perspective From a distance, the property presents well—modernized furnishings, polished finishes, and a renewed lobby. But up close, the base structure reveals its age. New upgrades are evident in the guest rooms and top floors, yet the reception area and original sections hint at their decades‑old origins. If you’re someone sensitive to architectural cohesion, you’ll notice the contrast between freshly renovated spaces and leftover mid‑20th‑century bones. * Room & Amenities Rooms are spacious—around 32–36 sqm—with clean, modern décor. Bathrooms feel fully updated and well‑maintained. Resolving the mismatch, however, is the occasional outdated corridor or flooring that doesn’t match the guest room upgrades. Service within the rooms is functional but basic—minimal amenities, functional coffee setups, but not overly stocked  . * Operational Notes & Cost Transparency While it serves as a practical choice with free airport shuttle, early park entry perks, and access to a food court via Disney Springs, be cautious when booking via third-party platforms. Parking fees (self-parking ~$25 or valet ~$38 per night) and daily resort fees may be added at checkout, increasing the final cost significantly beyond what appears initially on Booking.com or similar sites . * Final Thoughts As a user and architectural observer, I see this hotel as a restored relic: rejuvenated in appearance, yet with its original bones visible in certain areas—much like wearing a wedding dress to cover what once was. It confidently stands as a clean, modern-feeling property in a convenient Disney Springs location, but lacks full architectural coherence. Still, if your priority is comfort, proximity to Disney Springs, and a new-feeling space (even with a few aging layers), it’s a capable choice. Just double-check your final invoice—and enjoy the bride’s beauty, even knowing she holds decades of history beneath the surface.

We had an awesome time celebrating our wedding anniversary. We were welcomed by a great team and champagne! There was an issue minor issue with the keys but we really didn’t notice it-they had appetizers and drinks in the lobby for everyone and the accommodations were spacious and welcoming. With all the options in Orlando this location has better service than Disney-we will definitely stay there again!

My sister and I had a great two-day stay for our Disney trip. Hannah at the front desk was especially helpful and kind, very informative and comprehensive in all details about the hotel. Our room was very, very cute, the pool area was lovely to relax in, walk to Disney Springs was quick, and shuttle service to Disney was easy breezy.. and free!! Thank you to Hannah and the staff for all the great service.

So this used to be the B and before the the Royal palace I think. But now it's a Marriott property which is great for us! Really nice inside. They have renovated and spruced it up. Rooms are updated as well. We had a regular room with no balcony or patio. Would like to get one of their patio rooms and see if they are still as nice as we remember. Solid spot and good location for the springs.

This was my second stay at this hotel. We stayed for three days in December. This will be my last. I reserved the room online and prepaid. When I went to check and I was told that the room I reserved would not be ready until sometime after four because the previous tenant asked for a late check out. I did not select a specific room, so I was not sure why I was being told that I could not check in until past the actual check in time. Since the front desk person did not ask me if I wanted another room, I had to ask if there was one available. He said yes, but it would not be the room that I reserved. ?????? So the Room rate I paid was 162 for the first night and 140 for the next two nights. But this hotel does not offer free parking, which is ridiculous so that cost an additional $28 per night to park in their parking lot. In addition to the parking lot fee, we were charged a $50 resort fee per day. I am not sure what this covered except for the fruit water in the lobby. I supposedly already get free Wi-Fi because I am a Marriott rewards member. The hotel does have a pool, however the hotel itself blocks the sun from the pool after about noon each day. So to wrap up, unhelpful front desk, staff, parking fee, which is ridiculous, and a resort fee that covers nothing. There are better options in that area so I would avoid this hotel.

I travel a lot for business and took a personal trip with my wife to Epcot to stay at the renaissance..Fantastic stay,, American kitchen is a great restaurant and the staff was very friendly and helpful. The manager of the property checked in while we were dining to see how we're doing. Would definitely recommend this location. The bartender Karrin at American kitchen was great as well, very engaging and took care of us.

From the front, it looks like a great resort. However, once you get inside, the rooms are very average. The beds are a little bit less than average and so is the bedding. On a good note the food at the restaurant was really good. I had the Caesar salad with chicken, and also the hamburger with fries. Very tasty.

First off this is now a Renaissance by Marriott hotel. It is a fine place to stay! Pretty inside and rooms are clean and large. Loved the pool. Honestly wanted to comment on the food. This is not your blah hotel food. Our lunch in the lobby restaurant (I think it's called American kitchen?) was delicious. The turkey sandwich was real turkey! And also the Mexican food out at the pool was on point. A good variety of tacos with smoked brisket or pork and also a yummy mushroom one. I was pleasantly surprised. Would not hesitate staying here again. Very close to Disney Springs area.

The resort fee was high with no resort functions or lack of accommodations. The construction was loud and had a bad odor from the welding. We were not told about the fee and when we called about it after being billed they were very short and said check your initial reservation. The restaurant had great food and would have been nice without the welding smells. The room was older and just okay.

RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN. DO NOT STAY HERE Too say this was by far the WORST experience at any hotel I've stayed at would be an understatement. Renaissance Orlando resort and spa should be avoided at all costs. We stayed 4 days and the fire alarm was falsely triggered 4 times including on at 6am! Our room on the 2nd floor was the only one in the whole building to have a balcony with no tables and chairs. The only restaurant in the building is extremely slow for average at best food. We waited over an hour for a burger and salad with 3 other tables seated in the entire place and everyone was waiting for food. Our tv inside the room doesn't work and the ceiling under the AC vent is warped and when we tried to contact or speak to front desk or management they won't answer. We called atleast 5 times to both front desk and maintenance and never got a call answered or helped. Once we finally were able to speak with management they said they are "working out some kinks still" and that was the end of it. We are extremely disappointed in our experience with renaissance.

The hotel staff is very nice but there were no amenities at this hotel. My daughter and I stayed at this hotel on her first trip to Disneyworld for her birthday. We wanted to order room service but was told they did not have room service available due to damage to the kitchen. I wished they had told this to us before booking this hotel. Next, our toilet kept getting clogged and on the second time it happened at 1:15 am and I had to use the restroom in another room while our toilet was being fixed. We couldn't go to sleep after until 5:00 am and decided to not go to Magic Kingdom that day since we were exhausted. Additionally, we were told there was a refrigerator in our room but it was a very small cooler that couldn't hold our left over food so we threw food away. There was also no microwave in the rooms so we had to keep going downstairs to the lobby to heat food. This was an inconvenience and nothing about this experience was luxurious. The spa was not open so I couldn't get a massage. We did not enjoy the hotel and won't be back. It is not a 5 star resort.
