Westin Grand Bohemian: Leave Mickey In The Dust

Where: 325 S. Orange Ave. [map], Orlando, fl, United States, 32801

Northerners seeking a sunny refuge in the Florida sun need look no further than the Westin Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Orlando. While conveniently located for the family seeking the ultimate them park experience, this is a first class establishment in Orlando's business district.

What sets the Grand Bohemian apart is its art collection. Owner Richard Kessler personally selected the art and sculpture, as well as the Bosendorfer grand piano that graces the lounge. There is a gallery onsite, and art events and showings are held frequently. The lounge also features live jazz. It is recommended you stay through Sunday afternoon to sample the delectable brunch.

The hotel also has a fitness facility, a coffee shop, and is the hotel visiting NBA teams stay when playing the Orlando Magic. Sweet. Remember when you were a kid and you use to try and figure out where the opposing teams stayed in order to seek out autographs? Good stuff.

[Editor's Note: Hmm. We wonder if the Magic players ever stay at the hotel as well. Don't most of these guys live in hotels throughout the year?]
