If you are coming to visit one of Orlando's 52 different theme parks, then you probably will not want to stay in one of the downtown Orlando hotels. However, Orlando’s downtown area is really nice and offers some really nice hotels to stay in. 

Downtown Orlando hotels

  are pretty easy to get to from all the major theme parks, it is just a short 25 minute drive up Interstate 4. Orlando's downtown area is not large, and it does note have many high rises as you might imagine (there are more being built every year).

Orlando's major draw is the hospitality business, and there is actually only one fortune 1000 company which is headquartered here in Orlando. This focus on the hospitality business has been great for the city, but it has also left our downtown skyline bare. Downtown Orlando hotels cater to business men rather than tourists. Many of these businesses who have a presence in the downtown Orlando area are centered around real estate or banking industries.

Orlando offers quite a few really nice 5 star hotels in the Downtown area. One of the best downtown Orlando hotels I have ever been in is the Westin Grand Bohemian Hotel. WOW! This hotel offers executive rooms as well as suites, and corporate suites. When building this hotel you could tell that price was not an issue it was all about quality. The average nightly rate at this hotel is in excess of $200 a night, but it is probably the nicest hotel Orlando has to offer.
