Now Open: Grove Resort & Spa in Orlando

The new Grove Resort & Spa Orlando opened its first phase on Friday, March 10, 2017, located minutes from Walt Disney World on Lake Austin in Orlando, Florida.

The 106-acre property is situated amid a portion of Central Florida's conservation grounds. 184 of its 878 residential-style suites are now available for booking. Other amenities include three swimming pools, a spa, fitness center, two bars and lounges, a large-scale grab-and-go, a lakefront pier with watersports and a children's game room.

The Grove is located minutes from multiple theme parks, including Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios, ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, SeaWorld Orlando, Universal Orlando, Disney Springs and LEGOLAND Florida. Luxury shopping is also located nearby, with stores such as Gucci, Valentino and Bottega Veneta, among others.

Accommodations include one, two, and three bedroom suites, each with spacious floorplans that range between 1,264 square feet and 1,544 square feet. Each has a living and dining area, full kitchen, up to three bathrooms, a screened balcony and a full-size washer and dryer.

The Grove serves cocktails at its Zest lobby bar, while guests can also enjoy live entertainment and a libation menu with craft cocktails and craft beer at the Element lounge. At Alfresco Market, guests can choose from a selection of hot and cold self-serve food, gelato and ice cream, a barista bar, a deli with Boar's Head meats and made-to-order sandwiches, as well as grocery-style items ideal for stocking the in-room kitchen.

For meetings and events, The Grove Resort & Spa has 6,000 square feet of flexible indoor space, along with poolside, lawn, and garden alfresco venues. The resort can accommodate up to 250 people with on-site catering and audiovisual support available.

The resort's 221-seat, indoor/outdoor restaurant, Valencia, will open in late spring. There, guests will dine on Spanish, Italian, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There will also be the poolside Springs Bar & Grill, serving traditional menu items such as hamburgers, chicken wings, and stone brick oven pizzas.

In fall 2017, the on-site Surfari Water Park will open with its interactive water structure, multiple slides, more than 725 feet of lazy river, and a dual rider surf simulator. Also planned are an indoor entertainment area, the Longboard Bar & Grill, and an additional poolside eatery located at Surfari Water Park. Additional guest suites are also expected to open in late 2017.
