Four Seasons Orlando
Orlando, Florida, USA
The lowdown The newest luxe hotel on the Walt Disney World block. Best for Families who love a big dose of style along with their fun. The concept of ‘family friendly’ doesn’t get any more ‘family’ or ‘friendly’ than Walt Disney World in Orlando. But where to go after you’ve done striking a pose with Mickey? A stylish retreat with just enough pizzazz to maintain that ‘Have a nice day’ mood is the perfect solution and the Four Seasons Orlando has both style and razzmatazz in spades. Minutes from the Magic Kingdom park, the hotel is an oasis of pretty neutrals and elegant textures (think limestone floors and Dedon hanging chairs), juxtaposed with all the fun of two 74-metre-long water slides, a lazy river and a splash zone. The complimentary kids’ club means grown-ups are free to join a yoga class or simply relax by the adults-only pool; and when it comes to dining, everyone is equally content: Livingetc loved Capa, the Spanish-style grill, which is all moody, dark-wood elegance, while Lickety Split is, well, ice-cream heaven for those Little Livingetcs.
