Dream Destination Hotel - Holiday Inn Resort Orlando - The Castle

[Myra]

“Where the magic of Orlando meets the mystique of an elegant castle.”

As I work on the Holiday Inn Resorts dashboard for some months, of course it crossed my mind more than once how cool it would be if I could actually stay in any of those hotels. Among the resorts, it made me the happiest to dream of staying at Holiday Inn Resort Orlando – The Castle. If you read my profile in this website, you’d know why.

“If ever she will be invisible, she’d sneak into a plane and all the way to Harry Potter Theme Park in Orlando”.

Well, as a Universal Partner Hotel, The Castle provides complimentary scheduled transportation to the Universal Orlando Resort theme parks – which includes The Wizarding World of Harry Potter! Not to mention the convenient in-lobby ticket purchasing and other special guest benefits. Cool, eh? That’s enough of a reason for me to keep dreaming about staying at this hotel, but here’s a run-down of other cool stuff about the place:

·         It’s a freakin’ Castle!

·         It’s also within 12 miles of Walt Disney World.

·         You can swim with the dolphins at Discovery Cove.

·         The hotel's location also makes business in Orlando, Florida a pleasure. The Orange County Convention Center is just two miles away.

·         The Hotel is now part of The Florida Green Lodging Program - a voluntary initiative of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) that designates and recognizes lodging facilities that make a commitment to conserve and protect Florida’s natural resources.
