A Hotel Above the Rest: Sonesta ES Suites Orlando – International Drive

If you’re looking for sunshine, theme park adventures, foodie experiences, family activities and shopping, Orlando offers all that and more. As a second home away from home for us, often we come to visit and stay near the theme parks. With a vast variety of things to do, having the right place to stay for a quick getaway is a critical part of planning the perfect trip. 

We were absolutely blown away and fell in love with the newly renovated, Sonesta ES Suites Orlando – International Drive, and what they have to offer families coming to the area for a fun filled adventure. Their one- and two-bedroom suites with apartment style vibes offer fantastic amenities and services. With accommodations for large families at an affordable rate, it makes for the perfect stay for those out of town and memorable experiences.  

The property offers a wide variety of stellar amenities that make your stay easy and carefree. Complimentary WIFI, convenient parking, and laundry services to name a few. My top favorite amenities were the following:  

Sonesta Hotels allows pets through the PAWS Program (Pets Are Welcome At Sonesta). Being a pet owner myself this makes it super convenient to not have to worry about the care of your furry friends while on vacation. They provide special amenities to make your pet feel right at home like comfy pet beds, bowls, waterproof mats and treats at check-in.  

Another great perk during our stay was to start the day off right with breakfast in our suite, due to the full kitchen amenities. However, if that isn’t your thing, they do offer quick service breakfast at “The Morning Pour” with fresh crafted breakfast options and proudly serve Starbucks coffee! 

If you’re like me and love to walk, Sonesta ES Suites on International Drive is in walking distance to ICON Park, Sea Life Aquarium, Pirates Cove, WonderWorks and several amazing restaurants. These fun-filled activities give a different perspective of good adventurous fun outside of the theme parks. We enjoyed an amazing afternoon exploring WonderWorks and the Sea Life Aquarium and highly recommend them on your next visit. 

Sonesta is the the eighth fastest-growing hotel in the country, with more than 1,200 properties, and has locations across many of the nation’s top cities and destinations. The Sonesta ES Suites in Orlando is not only affordable, but has great staff, and fantastic amenities… it is perfect for families and extended stays for your next trip.
