We’d been spoiled by our recent club level stay at Grand Hyatt Istanbul so the Hilton Orlando Club Lounge didn’t really stand a chance. Our palates were finely tuned to a delectable array of meats, cheeses, prepared hors d’oeuvres and hot meal options. Not here. A very basic continental breakfast and limited hot snacks alongside a self-serve cash bar made us wonder why we bothered. We got snaps of the good, the bad and the bland…
Yeah, we ponied up for a touristy helicopter ride. So what? Looking down at Hilton Orlando.
Outside Hilton Orlando. View of club lounge from pool area.
There’s plenty of room and lots of cafe seating for a hearty meal of muffins and pineapple chunks.
More carbs. Delicious muffins stare at you until you eat one.
Straight from food service to the bin. Fresh fruit for breakfast.
Granola and oatmeal toppings in mason jar. Everything is better from mason jars.
Bagels, everywhere.
JUICE! Drink as much as you can to get your money’s worth, otherwise breakfast is little more than you’ll find at a freebie buffet. Self-serve cash bar is here too.
If there’s one thing about club level that would bring us back..yep, spinach and artichoke purses. Evening Snack.
Fresh healthy vegetables and a tub of ranch to make them unhealthy. Evening Snack.
On most days you’ll get a view of the pool area and sunny skies. We got spooky fog every morning. View from club lounge.

Funny you posted this, I just checked out of there Monday. The best thing I could say was that it was still free breakfast for the 4 of us…… The hummus in the evening wasn’t too bad….

Proof that people do still stay at Hiltons 🙂
Seems like a weak lounge. About on par with a Residence Inn or HIX experience. I’d rather stay at a Hyatt Place I think.

Agreed. Seems like you could get something equal or better for less elsewhere. But then you wouldn’t get to tube down the resort’s “lazy river”.

You got hummus?! Well, now I’m just jealous. Either I missed it or it’s new. 🙂
