Sheraton Hotel Downtown Orlando travel guide

Location. The Sheraton Orlando Downtown Hotel borders Lake Ivanhoe, a five-acre park with playgrounds and jogging trails in Orlando, Fla. The property is within one-and-one-half miles of the Orlando Expo Centre, Amway Arena and Orlando Science Center. The Florida Citrus Bowl is three miles from the hotel and Winter Park Village is four miles away.

Hotel features. The neutral color palette of the main floor is offset by a lobby-length zebra rug and rust-colored leather armchairs. Floor-to-ceiling windows create the backdrop for a Starbucks shop that stretches along one side of the lobby. Sixty South Bar and Trattoria offers Italian cuisine fused with regional Florida flair. The eatery offers specialties such as Spinach Taglionlini with a Gorgonzola Cream Sauce or Veal Fricassee Toscana with Porcini Mushrooms. LYNX, Central Florida's Regional Transportaion Authority, stops directly in front of the hotel. This smoke-free property offers 20,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. Wireless Internet access is available for a fee. The hotel's fitness center overlooks the rooftop pool and spa tub area.

Guestrooms. Guestrooms are highlighted by the Sheraton Sweet Sleeper beds, including 230-thread count linens, fleece blankets and a choice of five feather-and-down or allergy-sensitive pillows. Rooms boast views facing the pool area or Lake Ivanhoe. Granite-accented bathrooms feature shower/tub combinations with curved shower curtain rods. Wireless Internet access is available for a fee.

Expert Tip. Antique hunters and bargain shoppers with an affinity for days gone by should visit Antique Row. The nostalgic Antique Row features specialty vintage shops and gift stores with collections of the old, the new and the unusual. The Sheraton Orlando Downtown Hotel is perched at the north end of Antique Row, which stretches south to Colonial Drive.
