Your best bet for SeaWorld Orlando hotels is to find something on or near International Drive. Well, this is of course if you plan on spending the majority of your vacation in this area, as opposed to spending most if it at Walt Disney World Resort.

International Drive is minutes from SeaWorld, Discovery Cove and Aquatica as well as Universal Orlando Resort, and I-Drive is home awesome attractions including indoor skydiving, miniature golf, arcades, go-karts, restaurants, gift shops, helicopter tours, tattoo parlors, museums, shopping and even Wet ‘n Wild water park.

Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld is probably the most convenient.

Additional amenities include hotel suites, high-speed Internet access, spacious work desks, oversized bathrooms and new 32-inch flat-panel TVs. There is also a connecting-rooms option for larger families or friends traveling together.

Another great thing about this hotel is the special packages offered. From complimentary meals to resort discounts, you’ll find a range of packages to accommodate you. Resort credits are given for certain promotions and you might even get a night free. And there are special Marriot Rewards Rates too. (Keep in mind there is a parking fee.)
