Orlando is home to some of the most famous tourist attractions in the country. Disney World, Universal Orlando and Sea World bring thousands of visitors every year to the city. For others, the greatest tourist attractions to be found in Orlando consist of fairways, greens and little holes with flagstick inside them. Whether you love the idea of being close to Mickey Mouse or a championship golf course, Orlando can meet your expectations and provide convenience, comfort and luxury.
Renaissance Orlando Resort at SeaWorld
The Renaissance Orlando Resort is one of the best choices for those who plan on spending a day or two at Sea World. You won't really find this hotel inside the Sea World property, but its location across the street is the next best thing. The sizes range from 465 to 780 square feet. Room amenities include luxurious marble bathrooms, room safes, 32-inch television sets and wireless Internet for a fee. The large outdoor heated pool is a terrific place to come back to with sore legs or a sore back after a day at the parks or the golf course. The hotel also includes a fitness center and spa. Another nearby attraction is the Grande Pines Golf Club, which is just a mile away.

Clairon Maingate
If you want to be as close as possible to Disney World without staying on the property, consider the Clarion Maingate. This Orlando Hotel is just five minutes from the theme parks and golf courses inside Disney World, and there is also the added benefit of free shuttle service to the park. In fact, you can take a free shuttle to Sea World, Universal's theme parks and the enormous Lake Buena Vista Factory Shopping Mall. Another big attraction, the Celebration Golf Club, is close by as well.
