"By far the most interesting Disney-run hotel—and the best choice for guests who aren't enamored of the company's mythology."
Fodor's
"Entering the vast atrium lobby is like entering a cathedral with a roof formed of thatch rather than marble."

"The impressive glass wall in the lobby overlooks a vast savanna that allows for random sightings of birds, giraffe, and other wildlife."

"One of Disney’s most spectacular luxury hotels, where from some of the rooms... you can wake up to see wildlife grazing outside your window."
Michelin Guide
"When booking a reservation at this horseshoe shaped lodge, ask for a Savannah View room, which offers vistas of Animal Kingdom's grazing animals from its private balcony."

"Located in the community of Celebration, just minutes from the Walt Disney World theme parks, this hotel features 240 one- and two-bedroom suites."
Frommer's
"Curvy-walled and cloistered, this 240-room hotel arrived on the scene in 2008 (as the Mona Lisa—her grinning image still greets guests in the lobby) and remains a peaceful, well-kept secret."

"Much like a European boutique hotel in style and service, the Meliá Orlando is very human in scale and crisply minimalist in decor, and is only minutes from Disney."

"The 240-room Melia Orlando Suite Hotel at Celebration is an upscale, family-friendly, all suite hotel conveniently located near the interstate and a short drive from the Disney theme parks."

A free shuttle connects guests to the theme parks, but there's an unavoidable resort fee tacked onto the room.
