Doubletree Orlando Downtown Hotel Shuttles

An ultra modern structure looking out at the lush beauty of Lake Ivanhoe, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando Downtown is a premiere choice for travelers looking to stay close to the city without dealing with the noise. Basic-package rooms include leather armchairs, headboards and desk chairs, as well as black-and-white photography, upgraded rooms adding a bit more luxury through large pull-out sofas and floor-to-ceiling views of the skyline. For relaxation, a rooftop pool lined with palms creates a quiet oasis, while work flow can be made easy with a large 24-hour business center and complimentary Wi-Fi. Keep the workflow going by taking advantage of the LYNX Central SunRail Station about half a mile south, or reserve a private vehicle for the freedom to explore, whether that means reserving a simple sedan for intimate tours or chartered buses perfect for big groups. Keep things simple with a meet-and-greet service instead, popular options for the area being local personal drivers who know the backstory and taxis that make early trips easy.

Wake up to a morning jog across Lake Ivanhoe through its connected Gaston Edwards Park, or consider getting to know the surrounding ambiance through a modest walk across the Orlando Urban Trail, popular for its pit stops that include Lake Highland, Ten10 Brewing Company and The Mennello Museum of American Art. Also close to The Mennello Museum are a handful of exhibits and theaters that include the equally eye-pleasing Orlando Museum of Art as well as local playhouses Orlando Shakes and Orlando Repertory Theatre. For something a little out of the way and totally immersive, walk through the 19th-century ambiance of Harry P Leu Gardens, a lush botanical garden offering rushing waterfalls and a butterfly house, finally settling down with dinner somewhere close, popular options including The Greek Corner’s festive cuisine accompanied by authentic belly dancers as well as DoubleTree’s own take on comfort food at Sixty South Restaurant & Bar.
