One of the great traits of our meetings and hospitality community is that we don’t rest on our laurels. Several of the honored hotels have expanded their meeting spaces, refreshed accommodations and added new dining experiences.

Signia by Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek is elevating the meetings experience with the new Waterside expansion. This 2-story addition of over 90,000 square feet of meeting space is located directly adjacent to the existing meeting space, overlooking the Bonnet Creek waterways. The Waterside expansion includes one ballroom, a screened lanai with incredible views of the Walt Disney World   ®Resort fireworks, an outdoor patio, event lawn, and seven additional meeting rooms.

Signia’s sister property, the Waldorf Astoria® Orlando, unveiled the new Central Park Ballroom, which offers an 8,000-plus-square-foot ballroom, nearly 2,600 square feet of pre-function space, and a planned 8,700-square-foot covered outdoor patio. The property also underwent a comprehensive, multi-phase reimagination that encompassed the resort’s rooms and suites, lobby space, select culinary outlets including the award-winning restaurant Bull & Bear ®, Waldorf Astoria Spa, and prestigious 18-hole golf course.

JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes completed several multimillion-dollar renovations in 2023. The property’s new amenities and offerings include: an expansive waterpark, refreshed guestrooms and suites, the introduction of inspired executive family suites, and a redesigned and upgraded lobby lounge.

Several convention hotels recently debuted elevated sports bar experiences: Descend 21 at Hyatt Regency Orlando, FastBreak at Hilton Orlando, and Stadium Club at Caribe Royale Orlando.
