Multi-bedroom villa living area at an Orlando resort

Orlando Hotels for Large Families

Seven people is the point at which the question changes from which hotel to which kind of accommodation. The answer is almost always a villa.

30-Second Verdict

For a group of seven or eight near Disney, Sheraton Vistana Resort or Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake. For nine or more, Reunion Resort. Inside Disney property, Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek. On International Drive, Sheraton Vistana Villages.

Why hotels stop working above six

Almost no Orlando hotel publishes a room for more than six people. Above that, the hotel answer is two or three rooms, which means multiple rates, multiple sets of taxes and a group split across corridors, usually with no shared living space at all.

Villa and condo resorts solve all of that. A three-bedroom villa has a living room where everybody can sit, a kitchen where you can feed nine people without a restaurant booking, and laundry, which after four days in Florida stops being optional.

Check the sleeping arrangement, not the bedroom count

A two-bedroom villa published for eight usually gets there with a sofa bed in the living room. That is fine for two teenagers and awkward for two adults. Ask what the eighth bed actually is.

The trade-off

A villa gives a large group space, a kitchen and laundry, and takes away the ability to walk to a park gate. Every property on this page assumes at least one car, and for nine people it usually means two.

Common questions

What is the best Orlando accommodation for 8 people?

A two or three bedroom villa at a resort such as Sheraton Vistana Resort, Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake or Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek. No conventional Orlando hotel publishes a room for eight.

Can two families share one Orlando villa?

That is exactly what these resorts are built for. A three-bedroom villa with a shared living room and kitchen works well for two families, and costs considerably less than four hotel rooms.

Are villa resorts in Orlando timeshares?

Many are, and they also sell nightly stays to the public. The practical consequence is an invitation to a sales presentation at check-in, usually with an incentive attached. Declining is straightforward and does not affect the stay.

Do large villas in Orlando have laundry?

Most two and three bedroom villas include a washer and dryer in the unit, which is one of the strongest practical arguments for this category on a week-long trip with children.
