Hotel breakfast buffet with fruit and hot dishes in Orlando

Orlando Hotels with Free Breakfast

Breakfast for four in a theme park costs more than most people expect. Included breakfast is one of the few Orlando hotel features with a value you can calculate exactly.

30-Second Verdict

Drury hotels include a hot breakfast and free food and drinks in the early evening, which makes them the strongest total-cost choice in Orlando. Embassy Suites serves a cooked-to-order breakfast. The Hilton and Marriott select-service brands serve a good hot buffet. Tru and similar serve a lighter continental spread.

Included is not the same as free

Some Orlando hotels include breakfast only on certain rates, and some fold it into a resort fee. If breakfast is part of the reason you are booking, check that it applies to the rate you are actually buying.

Watch out: The evening service is a set window and a set menu. It replaces a casual dinner, not a restaurant meal.

The trade-off

Included breakfast means eating at the hotel, at hotel breakfast times, from a fixed selection. For a family leaving for a park at seven in the morning that is close to perfect. For anyone who wants a leisurely breakfast somewhere interesting, it is a saving they will not use.

Common questions

Which Orlando hotel chains include breakfast?

Drury, Embassy Suites, Hampton Inn, Homewood Suites, Home2 Suites, Holiday Inn Express, Staybridge Suites, Hyatt House, Hyatt Place, Fairfield Inn, SpringHill Suites, TownePlace Suites, Residence Inn and Tru all include breakfast as a brand standard. Full-service resorts generally do not.

Do Disney hotels include breakfast?

Disney resort room rates do not include breakfast as standard. Dining plans have existed at various times and change, so check what is currently offered when you book.

Is free breakfast worth choosing a hotel for?

For a family, often yes. It is one of the few hotel features whose value you can calculate: the number of people multiplied by the number of mornings. For a couple it matters much less.
