Top Hotel Picks for Your Stay

Finding the right base is essential for a great holiday. If you are heading to the heart of the action, the Rosen Centre Hotel is a fantastic 4-star convention hotel located on International Drive, putting you right where the excitement happens. For those who prefer a bit more space, the Melia Orlando Celebration is a well-regarded 4-star apart-hotel situated in the picturesque Celebration area. If you are travelling with family, the Lake Buena Vista Resort Village and Spa is a wonderful 4-star option in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. For a touch of the tropics, the Margaritaville Resort Orlando Hotel is a popular 4-star destination in Kissimmee, while those looking for beachfront luxury should consider the W South Beach, a premium 5-star hotel in the iconic South Beach neighbourhood of Miami Beach.

Beaches and Resorts

Florida is a state of two distinct halves when it comes to resorts. The inland areas surrounding Orlando, Lake Buena Vista, and Kissimmee are perfect for those who want to be close to the action and resort-style living. These towns offer expansive pools, sprawling grounds, and plenty of amenities to keep everyone entertained.

If your heart is set on the coast, Miami Beach is the place to be. Known for its glamorous atmosphere and long stretches of golden sand, it is the ideal spot for a relaxing break with a side of city culture. Whether you choose an upscale beachfront property or a resort village, the standard of accommodation in these areas is exceptionally high.

Food, Activities and Exploring

Florida offers an incredible variety of experiences. In the interior towns like Celebration and Bay Lake, you will find a more laid-back pace of life. Here, you can enjoy relaxed strolls, excellent dining options, and world-class golf facilities, such as those found at the Rosen Shingle Creek resort in Orlando. The dining scene throughout the state is diverse, ranging from casual family-friendly eateries to sophisticated waterfront restaurants in Miami Beach.

For those looking for active days, the proximity of towns like Orlando and Lake Buena Vista to major regional attractions makes it easy to fill your itinerary. If you prefer to stay on-site, many hotels offer extensive pool complexes, full-service spas, and even watersports activities, ensuring you never have to wander far to have a good time.

Who Should Visit Florida?

This destination is incredibly versatile. Families love it for the range of resort-style hotels that cater to all ages, providing a hassle-free environment where children are well-catered for. Couples, meanwhile, often flock to the more sophisticated hotels in Miami Beach or the quiet, well-manicured streets of Celebration.

If you enjoy a mix of city buzz, coastal relaxation, and high-quality resort facilities, Florida is hard to beat. It remains one of the most popular long-haul destinations for British travellers precisely because it offers such a wide spectrum of holiday experiences, all under a reliable, sun-soaked sky.
