Above all, meeting planners appreciate The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes for its location midway between downtown Orlando and Walt Disney World, its luxury, diversity, and flexibility. The hotel boasts 47,000 square feet of function rooms and another 64,000 square feet for gatherings outside. In addition, it adjoins a sister resort, the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes, which affords another 100,000 square feet of conference space.
Guests live in 582 luxury rooms and suites, each with a view-filled five-foot balcony. They select from 11 dining establishments, including Norman's, the fine-dining restaurant named for celebrity chef Norman Van Aken, and the new Highball & Harvest, featuring Southern-inspired cuisine and hand-crafted cocktails. They play golf on a course designed by Greg Norman, indulge at a Ritz-Carlton Spa, and thrill to eco-tours and fishing excursions on the scenic headwaters to the Florida Everglades.

This hotel is pure Ritz Carlton. Beautiful and elegant from the meeting rooms to the guest rooms. The staff is professional and courteous to us and our guests. We have done several events here and are always pleased. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Loved this property! Every detail from the guest rooms to the milk and cookies they delivered to all attendees during our final afternoon general session felt high end. Would absolutely take a group back here.

Exquisite hotel located in Grande Lakes. This is located away from attractions. Excellent meeting space and the sleeping rooms were beautiful. Great for larger meetings and they have many outdoor spaces that are good for events.
Overall Rating: 5.0/5
Nancy B. Keir Associates 3rd Party Planner
We held our annual sales conference (500+ pp) here in January 2008 and the staff was the best I have ever worked with. They anticipated and met needs before they even arose. Attendees kept coming to me during the conference raving about the great service they were receiving. The meeting space has a very good layout and has easy access to the main hotel and guest rooms - furthest guest rooms to meeting space are less than a 5 minute walk. The food was outstanding and they set the bar as far as service is concerned.
Overall Rating: 4.9/5
