Where to Stay and Play in America's Family Fun Capital
Part One
By Elisa Ast All
The 27-acre Wyndham Palace Resort & Spa is an on-site, Official Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotel. The award-winning resort features a staggering 1,014 rooms and suites; a European-style spa, salon and fitness center; eight restaurants and lounges; three pools; tennis; volleyball; concierge service and 24-hour room service. Directly across from the Downtown Disney Marketplace, Pleasure Island and West Side, the 27-story resort offers complimentary transportation to Disney theme parks and access to five championship Disney golf courses.
The Wyndham Palace is like a little town within a larger city. With everything you need at your fingertips, you can be tempted to stay there the entire time. The rooms are elegant and decorated with dark woods and modern amenities. It feels like a rich corporate retreat, and indeed, certain floors of the Palace treat you like visiting royalty. You will have a newspaper delivered to your door, find continental breakfast waiting for you in the lounge, a quick-response room service team and much more at your service.
For the children, there's a great playground, pool and game room – in addition to the baby-sitting services offered – and great kids' meals, too! For the parents, the spa is a fantastic diversion. Take turns getting massages or facials – you deserve it! The Wyndham Resort & Palace is located at 1900 Buena Vista Drive, Lake Buena Vista (also known as the Disney World area). You can reach them at 407-827-2727 or www.wyndhamorlandohotels.com or palaceinfo@wyndham.com.
