The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes sits on more than 500 acres of lakes, natural landscapes and a working farm, around ten miles from the airport and inspired by Florida’s grand-hotel era. Recently redesigned, it has guest rooms and suites with balconies, a Club Level and luxury residences with private plunge pools. Dining is led by the steakhouse Knife & Spoon by John Tesar, which the site notes is Michelin-recommended, alongside the Southern Highball & Harvest and poolside and clubhouse venues. The three-storey Ritz-Carlton Spa has 40 treatment rooms and a private lap pool, and the new Grande Lakes Waterpark adds slides and a lazy river. There is an Audubon-certified championship golf course, horseback riding, fishing and a Ritz Kids programme. It suits families and couples who want a large, nature-led Orlando resort with strong dining and a waterpark, a short drive from the theme parks.
