Waldorf Astoria Orlando

Came here for a business trip with my girlfriend. The room was covered by her company and we were upgraded to a 1 bedroom suite. They messed up on our booking. This property is a luxury property, and the service is out of this world. The moment you arrive you are greeted at the front doors. Every employee is very polite and helpful. The grounds are immaculate!! Our room was very large and clean. 1 complaint about the room is there's no microwave. They have a huge counter and room for one. Many people have kids and would need/use a microwave. Found out later they wanted $25 for a microwave. They do housekeeping daily and they also do turn down service as well. Never had this before lol. They have limited dining options open throughout the day. I found this to be odd on a property this large. The food and drink prices were crazy high. I ordered a Manhattan with buffalo trace, and it was $25!!!!! The average entree' for 1 person was $30 minimum. What the weirdest part of this property was ZERO Disney anything. For being a Disney Park, there's nothing and I mean nothing related to the Disney franchise on property. I know in Anaheim; CA all hotels have some sort of Disney theming. The hotel is a valet only $57 to valet. If you want to self-park you have to park down the hill at the neighboring Signia hotel, and that was $40 a night. They have 2 pools and 1 small hot tub. The pool is heated and that felt good. No waterslides or anything for kids to do other than swim. What is nice is you have access to Signia's pool next door. They have a lazy river and waterslide. I rated this 3 out of 5 as it wasn't perfect in my eyes for the money they charge. If you're looking for elegance and top-notch service, then this is the place. If you're on a budget and want a more kid friendly hotel, then I wouldn't stay here, but rather stay next door at the Signia. They're sister properties.

My dad and I stayed at the Waldorf Astoria Orlando from September 7–10 and absolutely loved it. The hotel is gorgeous and very elegant, and the front desk staff were always solicitous, helpful, and kind. As for parking, valet is the most convenient option — the service itself was excellent, though the fee is on the expensive side. I believe there is a self-parking alternative, but we did not inquire further since we were content with the valet service. Our room was quite spacious, comfortable, and sophisticated, and it felt truly magical thanks to the marvelous view of Disney’s fireworks right from our window. For breakfast, we went to the Park Avenue Café, which was a really nice experience overall. They offer a wide variety of pastries, with croissants that were particularly delicious, and the la Colombe coffee was excellent. Overall, our stay was fantastic, and we would definitely return to the Waldorf Astoria Orlando in the future.

Second time staying here in the past few years and it is absolutely on par with the many 5-diamond hotels I’ve stayed at around the world, if not better. I initially chose here because it had the most “value” of the 5-star hotels offered through AMEX’s Fine Hotels program. $150-200 cheaper per night than the next hotel in the class, $150 resort credit (I’m also Hilton diamond so for an extra $50), early and late checkout, and free upgrade (balcony suite with a Disney fireworks view both times), combined with exceptional but not stuffy service really made these two trips for me. After reading some of the other comments, I should clarify that while it’s a value compared to the other 5-star hotels in the area it is by no means “cheap.” So if you’re thinking you’re going to be paying Hampton Inn prices for food and drink at an elite 5-star hotel, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a value compared to the other $500+++ / night resorts in the area, then this may be the place for you. It definitely is for me.

Fantastic stay every aspect covered. Luxury all over. From before check in my personal concierge organised my airport transfers as well as linking the two bookings I have. Check in was detailed going through all aspects of the resort. The room was great with a Disney view which was a Hilton diamond complimentary upgrade. The nightly turn down service with addition of hand written notes and chocolates each night was lovely. The room was always cleaned immaculately. The service at the Peacock Alley Bar was great. Bar tenders saw to my needs each night and were attentive. Special shout out to Sabrina who always made sure my drinks were topped up. Service in the park avenue cafe was great and they remembered my name each day and order in the morning. Will 100% return love the resort and the proximity of the parks.

The Waldorf Astoria is amazing! Our family goes there on our yearly vacation. There are three people that put this place head and shoulders above other hotels in the area. Slavko, Luis A, and Luis O go above and beyond to make you feel like family. If there comes a time these three awesome individuals are not there, that's when we start looking for a new hotel. The Waldorf is truly lucky to have them!
