The DoubleTree Suites by Hilton in the Orlando-Disney Springs® Area just went through a jaw-dropping transformation, and it's all kinds of amazing. Located at the heart of all the fun at 2305 Hotel Plaza Boulevard, this 236 all-suite spot is not just a stone's throw away from the Orlando International Airport, but it's also super close to the Orange County Convention Center and, of course, the magical world of Orlando's theme parks.

Here's the scoop: This place is now an official Walt Disney World® hotel. Yep, you heard that right! It's within a hop, skip, and a jump to Disney Springs, thanks to a pedestrian sky bridge. Shop till you drop, eat to your heart's content, and soak in all the entertainment you can handle. Plus, hotel guests get some sweet perks like a free daily bus shuttle to all Walt Disney World Theme Parks, a 30-minute head start for early park entry, and a 'Passport to Savings' booklet loaded with exclusive discounts and special offers.

Now, let's talk about the renovation. It's all part of a big plan to spruce up the brand, and boy, did they go all out! POK Construction, SCNZ Architects, and Studio Partnership Interior Design worked their magic on this project. Everything from the meeting spaces to the guest rooms got a makeover. There's the Evergreen Café, a cozy Lounge, a Pool Bar, and the Made Market for grab-and-go goodies. Not to mention the splashy pool, a fun splash pad for the kiddos, a tennis court, and a fitness centre for the health buffs.

The décor? Think Florida vibes with a twist of sophistication. Limestone and coral as the main elements, rope accents for that beachy feel, and some seriously cool lighting to show off the local art and designer walls. The colour scheme? A mix of deep, rich colours balanced by soothing blues and crisp whites.

Craig Williams, the general manager, is over the moon about the renovations. "We're all about giving our guests an unforgettable stay, loaded with the latest and greatest in design and amenities," he says. "This upgrade shows just how much we care about our guests' happiness and staying top-notch in the hospitality game."

Owned by RLJ Lodging Trust and managed by Hilton, this revamped gem offers suites that are more like mini homes. Think living area with a sofa bed, dining area, separate bedroom, and a sliding barn door for that extra touch of privacy. All the home comforts are there: microwave, fridge, Wi-Fi, LCD HDTVs, a safe, and a modern bathroom.
