Orlando Recommendations

HousingHard Rock Hotel 3w ago •Andre Castillo

Palm at Hard Rock Hotel is a fantastic steak house that's small / intimate enough that it would be great for a bday dinner. They'll validate your valet parking and then it's a nice 15-20 minute stroll along the river from the hotel to HRL. You can usually catch the water taxi back after the show if you'd like, which leaves from the other side of the lagoon.

Sparrow Wine Bar is a highly recommended spot for an intimate dinner date in Orlando. It's located near downtown and Ivanhoe, and offers a dark and moody atmosphere, making it perfect for a second date.

SkyHouse Orlando is a residential building located in downtown Orlando. While it offers a great location and views, some of its drawbacks include noise from the surrounding bars on weekends, especially for those on lower floors. The building also shares a parking garage with businesses, which may be a concern for some. Additionally, some residents have reported issues with elevator waits and slow maintenance from the management.

The Garden Villa is a recommended wedding venue in Winter Park, with a price tag of around $4,000 for a Saturday in February. It's worth noting that the venue requires the use of their catering, but the food is described as delicious. The Garden Villa is located in Winter Park, and is a popular choice for weddings due to its beauty and affordability.

Secret's Hideaway is a great option if you're looking for a modern and romantic hotel with a spacious shower. It has a shower that comfortably fits two people, making it a perfect fit for couples. It's a bit more luxurious than what you're looking for, but it's definitely worth considering if you want to splurge a bit. It's a boutique hotel, so it's not a massive chain hotel, but rather a smaller, more intimate experience.
