"The Art Deco-style here pays tribute to Hollywood movies, with spotlights reminiscent of a Hollywood movie premiere and glamorous touches throughout."
Gayot
"This octagonal, 21-floor tower demands attention with its rooftop globe bathed in spotlights and breathtaking views of the Orlando skyline from inside the towering building."
Frommer's
"Because it occupies one of those dated cylindrical towers that were briefly in vogue in the early 1970s, the ideally located property has slight novelty that doesn’t translate to luxury." Full review

Request a room that doesn’t face east, as the floodlights from the minigolf joint next door are blinding.

"Competing just below its siblings Hard Rock Hotel and the Portofino Bay Hotel, this savvy South Pacific wannabe is the most laid back of the three." Full review
