Theme parks are bona fide family fun, but planning your trip can be a challenge. Choose from these four Hilton stays, within minutes of the world’s most famous theme parks, and it’ll be easy for you and your crew to enjoy the rides, parades, and time spent together.
DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld
A great location near Orlando’s top theme parks, plenty of on-site activities, and spacious digs makes DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld a win-win for families. The resort-style hotel is particularly convenient for theme park getaways to SeaWorld, located next door, with a free shuttle making it easy to get there. Thanks to a partnership with the aquatic theme park, guests at DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Orlando at SeaWorld enjoy benefits like reserved show seating and discounts on dining and merch. There’s plenty of kid-friendly activities to enjoy at the hotel too, including multiple pools with cabanas, miniature golf, and table games like foosball and ping pong. From all-day dining at Laguna Restaurant & Bar to made-from-scratch pizza at Alberto’s Pizzeria & Market, your family can eat well without leaving the premises, giving you more time for fun in the sun. Family-friendly rooms and suites featuring kitchenettes and wet bars make for an even more comfortable stay.
Hilton Anaheim
The original home of the world’s most famous mouse, Anaheim has no shortage of hotels, but a stay at Hilton Anaheim, a designated Disneyland® Resort Good Neighbor Hotel, comes with extra perks. You can easily access the theme park via local shuttle, save on one-day and multi-day Park Hopper tickets, and even see the nightly fireworks from your room. Spend the day riding roller coasters, thrill rides, and teacups or exploring newer areas devoted to popular superheroes. Back at your hotel, the perfect cure for being on your feet all day is a trip to the pool and hot tubs. Feeling hungry? Pick up provisions at the lobby-level market, grab a quick bite at the food court, or dig into tacos, pasta, and more at Poppy’s Restaurant. Some rooms and suites offer private balconies and theme park views.
Hotel Dali Val d’Europe Tapestry Collection by Hilton
Enjoy everything Paris has to offer with a stay at Hotel Dali Val d’Europe Tapestry Collection by Hilton. The modern 93-room hotel is a short ride to Disneyland Paris, making it a great base for exploring both the theme park and the City of Light. After a fun-filled day of fairytales and adrenaline-pumping rides, return to your quiet oasis and relax in a one-bedroom suite, which sleeps up to four thanks to a comfy sofa bed in the separate living room. With striped wallpaper and decorative red accents, all accommodations are stylish with a dose of French flair. A beautiful flower garden surrounding a heated outdoor pool, plus an extensive breakfast buffet and a steakhouse, round out the hotel's offerings. Other nearby attractions include the Aquarium SEA LIFE Paris Val d'Europe and the 272-acre (110-hectare) Lumigny Safari Reserve, a zoo dedicated to the conservation of wild cats.
Evermore Orlando Resort
A stunning 1,100-acre (445-hectare) resort complex adjacent to Walt Disney World, EPCOT, and Magic Kingdom, Evermore Orlando Resort is comprised of a variety of accommodations, including apartments, villas, and houses, as well as hotel rooms at the 433-room Conrad Orlando, which is also on-site. The sprawling resort complex offers two Jack Nicklaus-designed golf courses; plus 12 dining venues ranging from Mexican and Italian fare to casual grab-and-go options. Spend your days alternating between enjoying the nearby theme parks and fun-filled days at the resort, where you’ll find an 8-acre (3.2-hectare) lagoon perfect for paddling, kayaking, and swimming, as well as a 20-acre (8-hectare) white sand beach. And with a four-person water slide, three levels of jump platforms, and a rope swing over the water, it’s like having your very own water park right outside your door. Unwind at the serene Conrad Spa Orlando with a healing sound bath or poultice massage. A destination in its own right, Evermore Orlando Resort is fantastic for larger family and friend group gatherings.
