About the Delta Hotels by Marriott Orlando Celebration

The 718-room Delta Hotels by Marriott Orlando Celebration is a affordable hotel that is located in the heart of the Orlando tourist district, just minutes from The Walt Disney World Resort.

The hotel is very close to a number of shopping, dining and entertainment venues including Charley’s Steak House, Kobe’ Japanese Steakhouse and the Nike Factory Store.  If the Disney World theme parks are not enough, guests can visit the nearby Fun Spot America Theme Park Kissimmee which is an old-school carnival style park.

The town of Celebration is located just south of the hotel and is home to the Celebration Town Center.  The town center is home to a number of boutique shops, restaurants and the Bohemian Hotel Celebration.

There are multiple ways to get to the Orlando International Airport from this location.  During non-peak times we would recommend taking the Beach Line Expressway (SR 528) west to Interstate 4.  Head east on Interstate 4 to US Highway 192 and Parkway Boulevard is les than one mile to the north side.  This route will take approximately 25 to 30 minutes without traffic delays.

During peak times Interstate 4 could become a parking lot or an alternative is to take the south exit of the Orlando International Airport (527A) to SR 417.  Travelers should head west on SR 417 to Celebration Avenue.  Head north on on Celebration Avenue to US Highway 192 – Parkway Boulevard is less than one-half mile west.

Since the Delta Hotels Orlando Celebration is located just outside of the Walt Disney World Resort, the four Disney theme parks as well as the two Disney water parks and Disney Springs are a very short distance.  Barring any significant delays, guests can reach the parking area of all the Disney parks in less than 15 minutes.
