Dine near the Orange County Convention Center on International Drive or a few minutes away at Restaurant Row on Sand Lake Road. Pointe Orlando, a sophisticated dining and entertainment complex on International Drive just down from the convention center, features an impressive array of eateries including The Capital Grille, Taverna Opa, Redrock Canyon Grill, The Oceanaire Seafood Room and B.B. King's Blues Club. Don’t forget downtown Orlando and Winter Park, where local, award-winning chefs and restaurants are creating memorable experiences.

Retail therapy in Orlando is an exciting affair with a dizzying array of options. Magnificent malls. Amazing outlet centers. Stylish boutiques. And with free shuttle services from local hotels to the area's top shopping destinations, planning an incredible itinerary will be a snap when you include upscale one-stop shopping areas like The Mall at Millenia. Guests can browse premium brands such as Betsey Johnson, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Tiffany & Co. and more - all within minutes of each other.

Rejuvenation

Need to recharge or want to enjoy a bit of an escape? Plan a round of golf for the team at one of Orlando 176 courses. Choose a nearby beach for an afternoon of fun in the sun. Or if you’re more of an indoors type, unwind at one of our 19 destination spas. As you feel the stress and tension melt away, your mind will become clear and open to new ideas.

Nightlife

Orlando’s nightlife owes as much of its success to the region’s theme parks, attractions and long-standing venues as it does to the local DJ and music scenes that emerged during the past two decades. Hang out in a cool lounge, drink a pint at a laid-back pub, attend a concert featuring national acts or check out multiple clubs at an entertainment complex. The destination also offers an impressive array of cultural centers and art museums that provide a sophisticated experience.
