Top Orlando Tourist areas
 

Just as important as what to do on vacation is where to stay. The ideal hotel is in a nicer area of town, close to shops and your chosen attractions, and easy to get to.

There are five popular areas in Orlando. They are full of shops, restaurants, things to do, and places to stay. These areas are the Disney's Lake Buena Vista area; the Maingate area; the SeaWorld and International Drive area, and the Universal Studios area. There are plenty of hotels that we work with within those areas– popular hotels with extremely good service and great locations.

Universal Studios Area
 

Just north of International Drive, the Universal area contains  Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure theme parks, Wet & Wild, and CityWalk, with its many restaurants and night clubs, as well as the  Hard Rock Café and Concert venues.

 

Hint: If you do not have too much time or are thinking about visiting only Universal Studios, this is the best area to go; the hotels are nearby (some across the street from Universal Studios, so you're very close without paying to stay on property); CityWalk offers all the restaurants, bars and live music, movie theaters, etc. you may want. Because you need to go through CityWalk to enter the parks, it makes sense to stay nearby; that way you can enjoy CityWalk on your way out and the trip back to the hotel won't take long (or a cab, readily available, won't cost much).
