DK Eyewitness "Home to Tod English’s BlueZoo restaurant, a must no matter where you stay, this whimsical resort is best known for the tremendous dolphins that sit atop its exterior."
Rough Guide "Sister hotel to the Dolphin... from which it’s separated by an artificial lake and beach, and likewise whimsically decorated... equipped with every conceivable luxury."
Zagat3.7

Frommer's "An artistic Bohemian-inspired ambience... accented with dramatic flowing curtains, trendy mismatched furnishings, and an eclectic collection of avant-garde artwork." Full review
Concierge "This waterfront charmer with just 115 rooms—practically a B&B by Orlando's bloated standards—is a successful evocation of the Old Florida vibe."
Travel + Leisure "Formerly the Celebration Hotel." Full review
Rough Guide "Celebration’s only hotel is a predictably upmarket and classy place, with elegant rooms overlooking the town’s picturesque lake. $199."
Fodor's "Like everything in the Disney-created town of Celebration, this boutique hotel in the middle of the charming village borrows from the best of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries." Full review
Gayot "An elegant plantation setting complete with Southern hospitality captures the simplicity and serenity of early 1900s Florida."
Time Out "The Bohemian Celebration is ideal for intimate, kid-free vacations thanks to its mere 115 guest rooms and suites." Full review
Lonely PlanetTop choice
"For something beyond the impersonality of a large resort and the chaos of bars, nightly entertainment and programmed children’s activities, stay at Celebration Hotel." Full review
