The 213-room Crowne Plaza
Orlando Downtown is an upper-middle-range hotel with sleek, contemporary interiors and a convenient location that's under a five-minute drive from many attractions. Modern rooms are tastefully furnished and offer
granite wet bars with coffeemakers, mini-fridges, and microwaves, though some get traffic noise from the nearby Interstate. A lovely outdoor pool has spouting fountains and a hot tub, and the on-site Bite Bistro & Wine Bar receives excellent reviews. There's also a large business area and 24-hour fitness center, plus several meeting rooms. Wi-Fi is free throughout, but parking incurs a daily fee. Additionally, the local shuttle provided
covers a limited travel area. Travelers might also want to consider the nearby Courtyard Orlando Downtown, a comparable property with an outdoor pool and bistro.

Scene
Modern, stylish downtown hotel with a welcoming atmosphere
The modern Crowne Plaza Orlando Downtown greets guests in a sleek lobby cloaked in cream and beige hues with a lovely granite water feature at its center. Purple lighting underlines the front
desk while brown suede couches and armchairs provide seating in the
contemporary, open-plan space. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide natural light, and
there are lots of green potted plants scattered about for a fresh look. Wood floors and granite-topped tables
decorate the Bite Bistro & Wine Bar, a relaxed space where blue lighting accents the bar and shimmery tiles adorn the walls.
Location

The hotel is situated on a busy block with the St. James Cathedral and the Bob Carr

while Walt Disney World is 30 minutes away.
