The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes - Orlando, Florida

From the moment you arrive at this elegant new resort, you will feel that you are at a true luxury resort and would never suspect you were minutes away from Disney World and other family attractions. Architecturally inspired by the grand palazzos of Italy, The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes redefines the Orlando experience. While this property is currently rated as a 4 star/4 diamond, as of January 2005, they are in the process of becoming a 5 star/5 diamond destination.

The resort includes a 40,000-square-foot Spa, an 18-hole Greg Norman-designed championship golf course, Ritz Kids Club and 6 dining options, and located only minutes from the airport, the area's famous attractions and premier shopping areas.

The space is ideal for large groups with both indoor and outdoor events and functions. They are adjoined to the JW Marriott by a 100-foot walkway from the Ritz Carlton meeting space, so if you have a larger group, both venues can accommodate you in a joint effort. The service is still exquisite, and the pricing is blended between the two locations when you utilize both sets of space.

    "Just a quick note to let you know we had another exceptional concierge at our Nashua and Providence event. She was new to our events, but it seemed like she had worked with us for years. She jumped right in. She was great with customers, hard working, a team player, organized, efficient and a leader. Those are the types of folks we like to see managing registration at our events. I was very impressed with her and hope to see her at other New England MSDN/TechNet events in the future." - Microsoft Corporation.
