Hyatt Regency Orlando

A very nice property with friendly and attentive staff. The pool in Tower 1 is great for a quiet swim and the walk-​in pool area in Tower 2 is perfect if you want to lay back and have a daiquiri. I was here for a conference and didn’t expect much from the conference hotel but this Hyatt really tries hard to make sure everything feels special. A very pleasant surprise. I want to give a special mention regarding Hayley at the front desk — she set the tone for a very nice stay.

You get what you pay for. This hotel isn’t inexpensive, but those fine touches are all here. Want to watch the news while you get ready? Great, there’s s television in the bathroom mirror. Need to get up for something and don’t want to wake up your partner? Well, like magic, lights will come on at floor level as you walk, then turn off very quickly. Yes, I’m too impressed by this, but it’s my review. :) Pools are beautiful, have poolside service, and waterfalls! Every bite I experienced in this place was good; well, I guess I’ll be honest, chocolate on steak was my Limit, but the food is flavorful and well done. Service is that of the 90’s, you remember? Well it’s when the staff truly cared, didn’t enjoy the word «no», and you will believe it truly is «a pleasure.» Stay here.

From the moment I checked in until the moment I left, the staff went above and beyond to make sure all needs were taken care of. It was a miserable week I spent here, not because of the Hyatt but because of the terrible weather. It rained almost non-​stop, but that didn’t stop the employees from being as nice as they could be. Handing me an umbrella when I would walk outside too… who does that? The ladies who cleaned my room were most pleasant as well as was the concierge who helped me with Disney World tickets and transportation. The rooms are large and beds are comfortable. They even have a scale in the bathroom (UGH) for use if you’d like… I declined. There is a Starbucks in the lobby, but unfortunately you cannot use your phone app to pay (which frustrates me as I lost a LOT of points that week), an Italian steak house, a seafood restaurant, a 24-​hour diner and last but not least a nice pub. Of course there is room service, but the service fees and gratuity (included) make for a pretty expensive option. Other than those few things, this is an amazing hotel and much better than the Swan and Dolphin options.

Wow, this place is nice. The outside of the building is colorful, sleek, and modern. The lobby is incredibly chic, stylish, and an architectural marvel. From the winding, marble staircases that lead to the pool and spa area, to the fountain feature (water drizzling down a clear vertical plexiglass pane), the lobby bar (live jazz band played Thursday night), etc. this place makes you feel like a king/​queen and special. Friendly and helpful staff.
There is a Starbucks inside the hotel by the lobby area. The hotel is close to the many restaurants (and a few bars) up the road on International Drive
The rooms (we had the one on the 25^th floor) are spacious, clean and comfy. The view from the floor to ceiling window to the outside is panoramic and beautiful. You can see the pool down below and the Orange County convention center as well as Orlando’s skyline (not facing downtown though). Good insulation and/​or wall thickness in that you can’t hear your neighbors next to you. Comfy beds. Decent design and decorations.
As mentioned in previous reviews; the room has 2 cool unique features — ground lights that are controlled by motion detectors in the bathroom and one in between the beds. Really useful when going to the bathroom at night are walking around the room at night when you don’t want to wake the other person in the room or trip on something. The other feature is that there is a tv in the mirror at the bathroom. What seems like a good idea, actually isn’t though; especially for a short person. First off, our tv in the bathroom mirror only picked up 3 stations and also didn’t really work. And like I said before, if you are on the short person, then you can’t see your face or neck when shaving. You have to lean to the side and away from the sink to avoid the tv. The tv seems cool but you get over it real quick and is not really used.
Some of the other cons to the room — is that our curtains wouldn’t close all the way shut. This left a slit that let in just enough light in the room to be annoying and keep you up in the morning. Also, the bathroom lacked an exhaust fan. For a nice, swanky hotel not sure why there isn’t one. There really should be one for a number of reasons.
The pool for Tower 1 is really nice. A few different areas to do different things. The bar was reasonably priced and had a decent drink menu. Straight to you chair/​spot service (I believe only on the weekends?) was nice and helpful. A basketball hoop at the edge of the pool, fusbol, and ping pong tables were all nice touches. The big problem though is the fact there is definitely not enough room at the pool for the crowds they get on weekends. Me and my girlfriend couldn’t find a single chair/​chase-​lounge on a Saturday at 11:30am. We had to sit at a table by the bar to enjoy the sun and pool. The pool and surrounding area is can’t accommodate the amount of people in Tower 1.
If you self park, there is a very long walk from the parking garage to the hotel. Plan accordingly.
Overall a nice hotel with a cool look (both inside and out) and nice features. But this hotel nickels & dimes you at any chance they can get. Whether it’s parking fees, resort fees, expensive shots at the lobby, etc. It was kind of expected and sort of worth it but it’s not cheap here.

Clean rooms, friendly staff, and great amenities! This hotel is in the perfect location, too. It is walking distance to many restaurants and directly across from the Convention Center.
We had a nice experience from start to finish. Aside from theme park resorts, we found our favorite Orlando hotel!

I am very satisfied with this Hyatt Regency. My boyfriend and I live only a couple of hours away and book this hotel every few months for a quick getaway. For the money, (its relatively inexpensive for what you get, especially when you shop around on different hotel booking sites) its perfect. The room is spacious, there are cool upgrades such as a TV in the mirror and floor lighting when all the lights are turned off (so you don’t have to turn on lights to use the bathroom in the middle of the night!).
Pros:
Great location in Orlando
Bar
Restaurants and other bars walking distance
Excellent service
Spacious room with nice upgrades
Great pool
Clean
Cons:
Parking is pretty expensive
Food in the hotel is outrageously expensive (usually is in hotels.)
Bed wasn’t that comfortable for how great all the other amenities were
No room-​to-​room noise transfer
Overall I recommend this hotel. Its perfect for its price point.

Visited is hotel about 4 times this year. Big and beautiful a lot going all the time. Rooms are beautiful, room prices are not to bad
The staff is not very helpful and that’s why 4 stars instead of 5

Decent mid-​level Regency property. The lobby and meeting areas are very nice, and the staff was friendly and accommodating.
Room product is mediocre. My first room reeked of urine, and while the front desk staff was very apologetic and offered me a new room, it too smelled strongly (this time less like pee and more like someone had left garlicky leftovers in the fridge for 3 weeks). Carpets are in desperate need of replacement — stained and snagged in many places. Towels were Holiday Inn quality (though as someone else mentioned, the robes are money).
I’m sure it’s hard to keep up with a property of this size, but it’s definitely showing its age.

The hotel is huge and beautiful. When you enter you are taken back by how beautiful, luxurious and sofisticated the hotel looks. Everytime we stepped through the door from outside there was a a beautiful clean smell that welcomed you along with the sound of the waterfalls that just screamed relaxation. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and helpful from the second we checked in. We were asked if we were staying for business or leisure. When we advised the staff member that my partner was there for business and I for leisure he accommodated us accordingly. I advised the staff member it was my first flight and first time in Florida so he so kindly gave us a room as high as he possibly could so we could enjoy the beautiful view.
Our room was in tower 1 room 11 732 overlooking the terrace pool. The view in the day time was beautiful but at night it was just breath taking. We were able to watch the Disney fireworks from our room which was a very nice surprise. I loved that the bathroom mirror had a TV in it, that was cool! We got a room with a king size bed, the bed is super comfortable. I didn’t want to get out of it at all. The hotel grounds were a bit tricky to find your way around but with the help of staff members we were able to get around easily. I would have to say overall the hotel does a good job at keeping the grounds clean. Our room had a bit of dust in certain areas but nothing to complain about. The housekeepers were very friendly and assisted us with the things we needed.
All members of staff were very friendly and helpful. Made our stay more relaxing and stress free.
I loved that our hotel was right up the street from Point Orlando where we spent most of our down time at. We ate lunch and dinner there every night. I do recommend having dinner at Lafayette’s and Cuba Libre as they were our favorite spots to dine at. The shops in the area are nice as well and decent prices.
Overall staying at the Hyatt Regency made my first trip to Florida worth while & an experience I will never forget! I will definitely be going back!

This Hyatt is absolutely a massive property that seems to go on for acres, lol. These guys have really done a good job with this hotel as the grounds and inside are immaculate. This hotel is likely one of the better if not the best in the Orlando area as it provides great service, a central location and wonderful modern amenities. This particular hotel is also directly connected to the convention center which makes it even more convenient. Overall, the Hyatt is a fantastic choice should your travels bring you to Orlando.
Pros–
Cleanliness
Service
Room size
Location
Attached to convention center
Pools
Centrally located
Good restaurants
Cons–
Pricey
Valet
Self parking– $ 18 per day

Had a great stay this week at the Hyatt. They hit all the right buttons for me. Great service — front desk efficient and fast. Room — nice size and very nicely appointed. Bed was very comfortable. Large bathroom and big shower/​tub.
The view was fantastic from the room. Overlooked the pool area — and out towards Universal in the distance. Nice fireworks in the evening!
Meeting rooms were comfortable. Parking was reasonable.
Loved the location — fantastic to be connected to the convention center — but best of all — a whole area of restaurants, night clubs, and various entertainment options. Perfect little walk from the front door.
I’d love to stay here again!

The hotel is huge and beautiful. You feel like the top-​dog entering this place which screams luxury and sophistication. They have an immense gym, pool, and lobby.
Unfortunately they charge a $ 22 resort fee/​day for staying but in that fee you get two free bottles of water a day, access to their fitness center classes, and transport services on the trolley to universal and Disney. The staff was very attentive and friendly and the venue was kept spotless.
The rooms were also well kept and included the basic amenities such as tv, iron, safe, etc. my only complaint is that the sheets for the bedding were not that soft. I understand they have to be durable for the high volume of guests but that would be one upgrade I would like to see in order to make this a perfect hotel.

(4.5 stars) This hotel is huge! Even though the hotel seemed busy with events going on during our stay (Thanksgiving weekend) checking-​in and out was a breeze. Also, I would try booking through discount sites because we got an awesome deal!
Also, if you’re staying here to visit the theme parks I would highly suggest having your own car because the shuttles may take up to an hour due to multiple stops (it also has a fee).
Pros:
–clean
–updated interior
–spacious (2 queen bed room)
–free wi-​fi (signal was pretty good)
–Nice shower and sink — TV in mirror
–friendly and helpful concierge (gave us a card to redeem a free appetizer at Wolfgang Puck Express)
–bed was comfy
–nice comfy hotel robe
Cons:
–About a 20 min drive from Disney World attractions
–Overnight self-​parking is $ 18/​night

Superb Accommodations as Expected from Hyatt
The Hyatt Regency Orlando is conveniently located near the Orange County Convention Center. You can literally walk across the street to the Convention Center.
The staff at the Hyatt are friendly and knowledgeable. Check-​in is a breeze with numerous staff members waiting to help, especially during busy hours. The lobby is elegant with plenty of areas to catch up with colleagues and hold quick informal meetings. I have reviewed the hotel restaurants separately but there are a number of options.
The rooms are clean, spacious, and well-​appointed with modern amenities. The bed is soft but still firm and very comfortable for those with finicky backs.
Overall, it met the standards that I have come to expect from Hyatt. I would look forward to staying here again.

Great hotel, and super nice and accommodating staff.
After requesting a high floor for our room, they delivered! Not only was it a high floor, it was the TOP floor, the 31^st, with an amazing view out the floor-​to-​ceiling window of Orlando and the amazing pool area below. Sheets were super high quality and the bed amazingly comfortable. Lots of amenities, including an array of motion-​activated lights under the vanity in the bathroom that prevents a bad stumble in the middle of the night; a very spacious bathroom in general, good dresser and closet space, lots of places to plug in electronics and no discernible noise from adjacent rooms.
The bar in the lobby was really spacious and comfortable and the drinks were excellent.
The onsite steakhouse and diner were also quite excellent, but those are separate reviews.
Oh, and and in case you weren’t aware, there are some theme parks in the area. Very convenient, just down the road!

I recently stayed here for a belated birthday weekend with my mom and it was great. We arrived at the hotel a little before 3 pm and our room wasn’t ready yet. It wasn’t a big deal to us because we could leave our things at the bellstand and explore, but the Hyatt wanted to make sure we were happy campers. They took my cell phone number so they could contact me when the room was ready and gave us a card for a complimentary dessert at the B-​Line Diner. You could also use it for an in-​room movie or appetizer at their two other dining locations. Mom and I LOVE dessert, so we decided to use it right then and there for an afternoon snack. We’d been told our room would be ready in about 20 minutes so that would give us plenty of time.
Upon arriving at the B-​Line Diner you are greeted by a huge case of beautiful desserts. After a couple minutes of checking out our options we decided to go with the Key Lime Pie. We were only a few bites into our pie when we got a text that our room was ready. Wow, that was quick! After a quick stop at the front desk we grabbed our bags from the bell stand and went up to our room on the 20^th floor — it had an amazing pool view!
The rooms at the Hyatt Regency Orlando really do have everything you need. Comfy beds, fridge, coffee maker, a HUGE bathroom with a TV in the mirror, motion sensor night lights in the room and bathroom, a desk area, cordless phone, tv, and a big closet.
The next day our plan was to take advantage of our late check out (2 pm) and spend the day by the grotto pool. We checked in at the towel hut just before 10 am and they brought us to our poolside cabana. Talk about heavenly! There were three chairs outside of the cabana to lounge on, plus a big comfy daybed of sorts inside the cabana. The cabana also had a fridge and bar. There was even a button you could push to get a waiter to come over from the bar.
The grotto pool area is huge and has something for everyone! Waterfalls, a kids pool and beach, plenty of lounge chairs, a bar and restaurant, and even a slide. I may have been the only adult on the slide that day, but I enjoyed every last minute of it.
Only downside? Parking is $ 16 – 22 per night.

In our opinion, best place to stay on International Drive. We have stayed here many times and stayed at many other places in the area and this is by far the best property on I-​Drive. We always come back to this place.
Start with the staff. From the valet, front desk to the bell staff and concierge. .. Attentive, friendly and accommodating. For example, a bellman one time went above and beyond to make sure we had a cell phone charger as we had forgotten ours. Also the concierge helped us in selling our season tickets for a hockey game in Tampa.
Food — some of the best room service we have ever had in regards to timing, friendliness of staff and food quality and selections. Plus there are good options late night.
Pool wow! One of our favs. The lounge chairs are comfortable and towels are plenty. Pool bar staff has good quality food and drink selections. LOVE THE WET DECK! Especially with a cocktail in hand.
The only thing I would change about this place is he lobby bar. The lightning is too bright and feels too spacious and cold.
The rooms have always been clean and the floor to ceiling windows make the room feel spacious and comfortable. Great views too! there is a motion detector low lightning on the ground so at night you can find your way to the bathroom without waking your partner. Also there is a TV built into the mirror in the bathroom. The tub shower combo is very spacious and accommodating probably to any size person.
Rates here are not outrageous and definitely fair for what you get. Great place to stay on I-​drive Orlando!

Mixed feelings about this hotel. Would rate 3 ½ stars. Stayed in tower 1.
First what I loved :
— pool options — free for hotel guests (terrace pool for actual swimming and other pools for fun).
— free wifi
— spacious room
— options to order personal stuff for free (like toothpaste, brush, vanity set)
— bar, restaurant — I remember opened till 2 am? and a 24h diner
What was so and so:
— parking options only at the hotel. Valet parking $ 25 and self Parking $ 18 /​day. Tax not included and they don’t mention this.
— self parking lot — long walk. But it’s a huge hotel.
–only room service breakfast but pricey
— bed not so comfortable
What I feel it was really not ok for a 4* hotel:
— no minibar. The room had a fridge with some leftovers from previous guests
— couldn’t ask for bottled water (we bought ours from the diner or from somewhere else)
— dust in the room (like under the bathroom sink). Or near the lamp on the night stand
Location:
— close to universal and sea world (10′ drive)
— 20′ drive to Disney
— 20′ drive to MCO
Conclusion:
— great hotel for pool options .
— tower 2 looked better than 1. Maybe they have cleaner rooms ?! And better beds ?:))
— for a 4* Hyatt a little disappointed

Our stay was fantastic, almost everyone we encountered work at the hotel were friendly, polite and professional, including the valet. We had our baby traveling with us, didn’t carry a car seat all the way to Orlando, hotel was very attentive lend us crib in our room, car seat when we were taking the taxi ride.
We particularly love that there were 3 – 4 restaurants in house option to eat while having to stay for convention and meetings. It’s also only about 10 minutes walking distance from the street downtown where you can try out different cuisines and shops.
The Orlando eye (ferris wheel) and cute little dainty aquarium brand new open only about 15 minutes away with driving distance.
We also love the build-​in Tv in the mirror and beautiful pool. You will enjoy the hotel!

For many years this hotel was known as the Peabody. You know the ones with the ducks in the fountain. It is now a Hyatt. I was attending a gala one evening. Found the lobby of this hotel extremely beautiful, and a luxurious.
Great location, right across the street from the Orange County Convention Center. All the employees that I countered this evening were very kind and courteous. As all these hotels go, they are massive. And massive parking garage is to go with it.
Just a word, if you want to self park in the parking garage, expect a little bit of a walk until you get to the main lobby. Other than that, a great experience.

beautiful hotel, spacious rooms and good service for a reasonable price make this hotel our favorite in Orlando.
the location is also excellent, there are many restaurants and bars within walking distance. The parks are just a short drive away.
