Orlando Convention Center Hotels: Rooms, Parking & Map

First, Find Your Event’s Convention Center Building

Orange County Convention Center is a seven-million-square-foot campus. The North and South concourses share a large complex, while West is a separate building. Booking a hotel before checking your event hall can mean a much longer walk than expected.

Orlando Convention Center Hotel Comparison

The four connected hotels are the easiest choices for visitors prioritizing convenience. The value and suite hotels below offer alternatives when the conference room block is expensive or sold out.

No hotel is guaranteed to be the cheapest on every date. Bridge access is not the same as being next to your particular hall.

Four Hotels Connected to Orlando Convention Center

More Affordable, Suite and Extended-Stay Alternatives

Hotels without direct bridge access can be useful if you have a conference shuttle, prefer separate living space or are willing to walk farther.

Other hotels worth checking

• SpringHill Suites Orlando Convention Center/International Drive Area: 8840 Universal Boulevard, suite-style rooms.
• Hyatt Place Orlando/I-Drive/Convention Center: 8741 International Drive, room layouts with additional living or work space.
• Courtyard Orlando International Drive/Convention Center: 8600 Austrian Court, useful for travelers comparing business hotel rates.
• Homewood Suites Orlando International Drive/Convention Center: another longer-stay option; check current facilities and shuttle availability.

Rooms, Suites and Hotel Amenities: What to Compare

Different travelers need different configurations. Do not assume every standard king room has a sofa bed or every two-queen room accommodates the same number of guests.

Useful amenities by hotel type

• Hyatt Regency: extensive convention services, spa, dining, pool and connected access.
• Hilton Orlando: lazy river, pools, recreation and theme-park transportation arrangements.
• Rosen Centre and Rosen Plaza: extensive dining, meeting facilities and bridge access.
• Embassy Suites: additional living space and breakfast-oriented amenities.
• Residence Inn: kitchen-style suite accommodation for longer visits.

Accessible room features and pool services vary by property and category. Confirm requirements directly before booking nonrefundable rates.

Orlando Convention Center Hotel Parking Fees

Parking costs vary materially across connected hotels. The figures below are published or organizer-listed reference amounts, not guaranteed prices for every future night or group reservation.

Rosen figures are from current hotel parking pages. Hyatt/Hilton figures are event-specific published organizer references and may differ from standard hotel retail parking rates. For Hilton especially, do not assume a discounted event rate applies to a general booking.

Parking questions worth asking

• Does the rate cover each night, calendar day or each entry?
• Are in-and-out privileges included?
• Is oversized vehicle or trailer parking allowed?
• Is the garage included with the convention room block?
• Does valet have a separate tax or service charge?
• Can an accessible vehicle fit the clearance requirements?

Calculate the Total Cost of Your Hotel Stay

Booking decisions become clearer when comparing total costs rather than just headline room rates.

Orlando Convention Center Hotels Map

Before choosing a room, locate your event building, the hotel entrance and the correct pedestrian bridge. A hotel appearing close to the middle of OCCC may be farther from your specific registration area.

Orlando Airport, I-Ride Trolley and Hotel Shuttles

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is approximately 12 miles from the convention center. For most travelers arriving with luggage, a taxi, rideshare or prearranged transport is the most direct option to a hotel.

Airport arrival steps

1. Confirm the hotel’s exact address and check-in time.
2. At MCO, follow signs to your chosen ground-transportation pickup location.
3. Use the hotel name and full address in your transport app.
4. Ask your hotel where to unload bags or access luggage storage.
5. If attending an event the same day, verify the concourse and registration instructions before leaving the hotel.

For Hilton Orlando, scheduled Walt Disney World transportation is included within the hotel’s resort program and requires advance reservation. Rosen Plaza and Rosen Centre also advertise Universal-area shuttle options; service schedules and sign-up rules differ.

How to Book a Convention Hotel in Orlando

The best first step is to check the organizer’s official housing arrangement, not an unsolicited room-offer email. Some conferences reserve discounted blocks or provide shuttle access from designated hotels.

When to reserve

For major industry expos and large conventions, booking earlier generally improves room selection and access to eligible group blocks. However, always check cancellation terms and avoid nonrefundable reservations until your travel dates are certain.
