hen the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort opened seven years ago, it set a standard of excellence in hospitality. And to date, the Four-Star property continues to uphold its benchmark of distinction. With 443 rooms, an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed golf course, adult pool, tennis facilities, savory culinary options and a spa, the resort, which sits on 26-plus acres, is poised to host conference attendees year round.
Capa steakhouse on the 17th floor FACILITIES & DESTINATIONS 2021 SUPERBOOK
Offering nearly 67,000 sq. ft. of event space from indoor ballrooms to outdoor patios (e.g., rooftop steakhouse Capa’s 17th floor terraces), there’s something for every group. If virtual attendees need a break from workshops, a wellness professional can lead them through stretching techniques before reconvening again. And if in-person groups want to include wellness into their meeting-filled days, group golf or tennis lessons can be provided. Other highlights to help remote attendees feel as if they are on property include optional Stay Connected boxes, which can be sent before a conference begins. The box can be customized with a unique blend of coffee from the resort’s Lickety Split lobby café, virtual reality eyeglasses and more. Meeting-goers can experience handson cooking or mixology classes while virtual attendees can participate without skipping a beat thanks to prepackaged ingredients shipped directly to their homes. Event spaces at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando at Walt Disney World Resort come with state-of-the-art technology. Plus, audiovisual experts are on hand to ensure meetings go smoothly. After a long day, group attendees can unwind with a service at the spa. The Healing Honey Treatment or Sticks and Stones Massage is a perfect way to end the day before ordering in-room dining via the room’s iPad or the Four Seasons app.
