Bohemian Hotel Celebration

Top choice


Quiet and genteel, with what has to be the city’s smallest pool perched on the patio next to the lake, downtown Celebration's only hotel offers handsome rooms and an old-world Key West sensibility. Perfect for anyone looking for something beyond the impersonality of a large resort and the chaos of bars, nightly entertainment and programmed children’s activities, but close to Disney.

It's an easy drive to all the parks but feels years and miles away. There's no theme park shuttle. It is due for a major refurb in 2017.
