The Pool at Hyatt Regency Orlando

"The hotel added a 32-story tower, a revamped pool complex, and a huge spa and fitness center as part of a massive expansion completed in 2010"

"of function space, while also offering plenty in the way of relaxation from a posh spa and a range of on-site eateries to three pools (some of whom offer such features as waterfalls and slides) and a tennis court; the contemporary quarters boast work spaces and in-mirror bathroom TVs, and for a break from business, you're only four miles from Universal Orlando's theme parks and two miles from SeaWorld"

"Combine the stay with sumptuous dining at the hotel’s signature restaurant, Napa, and a blissful afternoon spent in The Spa or beside The Grotto pool, and you fully see why the luxury hotel makes it easy to unwind, recharge and disconnect"

"Walking to I-Drive’s restaurants is easy (driving out of the remote parking structure, not so much), and the free-form tropical pool is gorgeous, but in sum it feels more like a place where expense accounts are spent than where cherished memories are made"

"But the main watering hole is Rocks, a huge space adjacent to the lobby and overlooking the pool, where craft cocktails, local beers, a thoughtful wine list, and a generous happy hour attract a huge crowd"

"Dining outlets include the B-Line Diner (open 24/7), Fiorenzo Italian Steakhouse and poolside sandwiches and salads until sunset at Coconuts Grill"

"The levels of luxury are still intact from its days as the Peabody, and the three pools and seven restaurants will still appeal to holidaymakers not wanting to commit to in-park accommodations"

"Even-numbered rooms have the best exposures facing the pool and the convention center, and those on higher floors can watch Disney's nightly fireworks"

"An eye-catching double tower-block right next to the huge Orlando Convention Center, this flagship Hyatt is the most luxurious hotel on the busy International Drive strip, with a terrific array of amenities including spa, tennis courts and several pools"
