SeaWorld Orlando – Official & Partner Hotels

Written by Jerry Joyce in Florida Hotels & Resorts

Unlike Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando does not have any on-site hotels.  However, it has a number of “Official Hotel Partners” and “Hotel Partners” that provide a fair amount of benefits for your visit to SeaWorld.

As of the summer 2022, there are 11 “Official Hotel Partners” that are all within a mile of SeaWorld  with several being withing walking distance.

SeaWorld Orlando “Official Hotel Partners”

By far our favorite “official” hotel is the Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld which is located directly on the other side of Sea Harbor Drive, and a very short walk to the front gate.  This hotel has an amazing lobby with several dining options, a great pool area, and small water park / splash pad for kids.

While considering that the Renaissance is more of an upscale property, you can find some “deals” with room rates.  We normally don’t pay more than $150 per night.  Just be aware than parking costs and resort fees can add an additional $50+ per night.

Less expensive hotel options include the Fairfield Inn and Suites Orlando by SeaWorld or the Residence Inn Orlando at SeaWorld.  While slightly longer than what we would consider walking distance, these hotels can be found from around $100 per night and do not have resort fees.
