Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa is one of the most lavish and elegant of all Disney resorts. Guests looking to be pampered, with every whim catered, will appreciate the resort’s spectacular setting, paired with high style and luxury service. Resort architecture exhibits the beauty of old Victorian-style hotels, with gabled roofs and delicate lattice work capping a bone-colored building rising five stories. Victorian themes are carried throughout the interior design, from wicker loungers to capacious verandas, while on the outside, gingerbread trim, gabled rooftops, cupolas, and more complete the picture. The monorail depot resembles a Victorian-era train station and offers transportation to Epcot Center and the Magic Kingdom. The monolithic lobby rises the full five stories, creating a magnificent ambiance topped by stained-glass. The extravagant spa is the place to absorb the true vacation spirit with world-class treatments.
