Aloft Orlando Downtown

Aloft Orlando Downtown is a mid-range hotel at 500 S Orange Ave, Orlando, Florida, in Downtown Orlando. Aloft favours loft-style design, a lively lobby bar and a younger, social feel compared with traditional business hotels. Its location on Orange Avenue puts bars, restaurants and the SunRail connection within an easy walk. Nearby, Church Street, the Kia Center and Lake Eola Park are easy to reach, and Lake Eola Park, the Amway Center-area arena district, Church Street and the Thornton Park and Mills 50 dining districts are all within a short walk or LYMMO bus ride. Orlando International Airport (MCO) is about 20 to 25 minutes away by car, and SunRail commuter trains and the free LYMMO downtown circulator are close. Amenities include outdoor pool, bar, fitness centre, free Wi-Fi and pet-friendly. Accommodation is offered as Aloft King, Aloft Double Queen and Suite, so visitors can match the room to a solo, couple or family stay. The property suits solo travellers, couples and weekend visitors. Downtown has no theme parks: Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando are a 25 to 40 minute drive, so budget for rental car or rideshare if a park day is planned. Nightly rates generally run about $140-$260 USD before taxes and fees, rising during school holidays, spring break, summer and any large convention or event. November to April offers mild, dry weather for walking Downtown and Lake Eola; summer is cheaper but hot, humid and stormy in the afternoons. With a 4.4 rating, Aloft Orlando Downtown is a dependable choice. In short: Design-led Marriott hotel on South Orange Avenue with a pool, a lobby bar and walkable Downtown access.
