Where to stay for when visiting SeaWorld Orlando
SeaWorld does not have an true “on site” hotels but there are a number of Official SeaWorld Orlando hotels and SeaWorld Partner hotels in the immediate area. For a full list of these properties, CLICK HERE.
Our favorite hotel when staying at SeaWorld is the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld. This hotel is amazing with over 750 rooms surrounding a 10 story lobby / atrium, huge pool area with kids splash park and a number of great formal and casual dining options. We did a complete hotel video tour and review which you can find by CLICKING HERE.
The Renaissance is right across the street from SeaWorld and it is just a short walk across the parking area. Since it is an Official SeaWorld Hotel, you get a complimentary one time Quick Queue pass which lets you bypass the long lines on a number of the best rides.
Typically you can find rooms at the Renaissance for less than $250 per night plus tax but resort fees and parking can exceed more than $50 a night. So if that is out of your budget, be sure to check the rates and availability on the many other “Official” and “Partner” hotels at SeaWorld Orlando.
