Orlando
Hospitality Industry
Welcome to LodgingGuide's hospitality industry listings for the Orlando area.
Just a few short decades ago, the Orlando area was an immense expanse of orange groves and vacant land surrounding a peaceful little town built around a small lake. It was the very lack of infrastructure which attracted Disney, Universal and others here to build their dreams as they envisioned, without any pre-existing obstacles. What resulted is one of the largest commercially landscaped and designed, totally man-made entertainment, shopping and nightlife complexes in the world. You can still see natural old Florida as it was at the 50-acre Harry P. Leu Gardens, with its tropical plants, butterflies and trees alive for hundreds of years, but Orlando's main attractions now are its amusements, and its centralized proximity to other Florida venues, such as Cape Kennedy, Busch Gardens and the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico, which are only about an hour's drive away in either direction.
You can begin researching lodging properties and on-site restaurants in the Orlando area by selecting one of the options shown below. If you are interested in visiting Florida beaches after your visit to Orlando, you may wish to have a look at Daytona Beach Lodging, Florida's Space Coast Lodging and Florida's Treasure Coast Lodging.
