Hyatt Regency Hotel, Orlando
The Hyatt Regency Orlando, located right on the bustling International Drive, is a massive landmark in the city’s hospitality scene. Originally opening in 1986 as The Peabody Orlando—complete with the famous daily duck march tradition—it was rebranded as a Hyatt Regency in 2013 following a multi-million dollar expansion. This renovation added a sleek 31-story tower, turning the property into a towering hub with over 1,600 rooms.
What makes the hotel particularly functional is its direct connectivity to the Orange County Convention Center, one of the largest facilities in the United States. Despite its focus on business travel, it doesn’t skimp on leisure. The property features a dual-pool complex, including a signature Grotto pool with a waterfall and slide, which offers a great escape from the Florida heat.
The hotel is a prime jumping-off point for Orlando’s biggest draws. It sits just a short drive from world-famous theme parks like Universal Orlando Resort, Walt Disney World, and SeaWorld. Being situated in the heart of the International Drive corridor, guests are also within arm’s reach of endless dining, shopping, and entertainment options, including the ICON Park complex.
For those looking to explore beyond the theme parks, the hotel’s location offers easy access to local culture as well. Landmarks such as the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and the Orlando Museum of Art are reachable with a quick trip, making it a well-rounded base for both vacationers and conference attendees.

Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Orlando, Florida
“An eye-catching double tower-block right next to the huge Orlando Convention Center, this flagship Hyatt is the most luxurious hotel on the busy International Drive strip, with a terrific array of amenities including spa, tennis courts and several pools.”

Unreasonable $10 handling fee per package
I was very disappointed with the hotel's package policy. UPS delivered my Amazon orders to the hotel for free, but the hotel charged me $10 per package just to hand them to me — even for items worth only $3. This is absolutely unreasonable and feels like taking advantage of guests.
If you plan to do any online shopping while staying here, do not have your packages delivered to the hotel. Use an Amazon Locker or store pick-up instead to avoid unnecessary fees.

Really enjoyed my stay
Loved the pool, Starbucks in the facility, ease of getting towels at the pool
Would have liked a small microwave in the room, parking garage was a bit of a walk. Valet was crazy busy

Nice place to stay
The pool was really nice and the amenities. The good thing is it is directly connected to occc making it easier to commute if you are staying for a conference or something

We’ll be back again this year and next year for sure.
Location, amenities and the staff are top tier. My son and I take this trip every year for his Spring break. Our room wasn’t ready, so we were given another room in its place. The substitute room had an odor to it. Gigi(PR) the customer service rep was AMAZING!!! She exemplified what it means to be a professional problem solver. I’ve been in customer service for over 30 plus years and Gigi is the real deal.

Great location to my convention
Location was great amenities as well
Couldn't log into wifi food was pricey for breakfast that was quite bland breakfast eggs Benedict said bacon but I think it was brisket and didn't care for it also ordered extra sausages which had a weird taste so didn't eat that either but my coffee was good. There was also a dead frog in the pool I took a picture of.

Beautiful facility great for our statewide meeting. Plenty room to accommodate the large numbers.
Room was very spacious and was appropriate for our needs. We found comfortable beds and large bathroom and lots of clean towels and even had all of the basics. Body wash, Soap, Shampoo, Conditioner, Shower cap, and Body Lotion.
No microwave in the room. Could have been a great convenience for me as my very busy schedule made it difficult for me to eat on my normal meal schedule. Often had to bring food to the room to have time to eat it. Ate a lot of cold food. Hotel is very large. almost think it would be great to have an in house shuttle for those with limited mobility. Scooter was not the best option for many.
