Whenever I go to Orlando, I like to visit more than one theme park, and for the SeaWorld part of my trip, I love to stay at an official SeaWorld hotel. Much like with the official Disney or Universal Studios on-site hotels, I feel like the benefits of staying on-site are too huge to pass up, especially considering that the SeaWorld hotels are a lot more affordable. Also, since they are parts of major hotel chains, you can get points that can be redeemed for free nights on other trips. Plus, with some of these hotels (such as Fairfield Inn and Springhill Suites), you can get a free breakfast.
The following hotels are SeaWorld hotels:
- DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando at SeaWorld
- Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld
- Hilton Garden Inn at SeaWorld
- Fairfield Inn & Suites Orlando at SeaWorld
- Hampton Inn & Suites Orlando at SeaWorld
- Hilton Grand Vacations at SeaWorld
- Holiday Inn Express & Suites Orlando at SeaWorld
- Residence Inn Orlando at SeaWorld
- Springhill Suites Orlando at SeaWorld
- Staybridge Suites Orlando at SeaWorld
- TownePlace Suites Orlando at SeaWorld
Here are some of the many benefits you get from staying at an official SeaWorld hotel. You can see that only do the perks make your trip more special, but it also helps you save money:
- Quick queue for one of the popular rides (excluding Kraken Unleashed)
- Free shuttle to SeaWorld, Aquatica and Pointe Orlando
- Early entry to SeaWorld
- 10% off dining (I always use this at Sharks Underwater Grill, I highly recommend this restaurant)
- 10% off merchandise for purchases of over $50
- 10% off Discovery Photo Packages at Discovery Cove
- Free signature show seating
- Free behind-the-scenes rescue tour
- Free souvenir – Build your own CUP THAT CARES at Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin
- Pointe Orlando coupon book (includes over $300 in savings for Pointe Orlando)
So whether you are visiting Orlando just to go to SeaWorld or you want to make SeaWorld part of your Orlando vacation, I highly recommend staying at one of these hotels!
