A sense of the place
Why it's in the collection
Because it shares the 500-acre Grande Lakes estate with The Ritz-Carlton – the same Greg Norman fairways, the same spa a garden walk away – and adds a water park with a lazy river and new family suites for the days the parks can wait, with Melissa Kelly's Primo, a four-star kitchen in its own right, for the evenings; the hotel holds four-star standing, and we list it at exactly that tier.
- Opened in 2003 alongside The Ritz-Carlton on the 500-acre Grande Lakes estate, at 4040 Central Florida Parkway – rooms and suites that now include new family suites with bunk beds.
- Primo, chef Melissa Kelly's restaurant, which holds four-star standing of its own; Whisper Creek: The Kitchen; EvrBar; and Knife Burger.
- A water park with slides, a lazy river and lagoons with cabanas – and access to The Ritz-Carlton Spa across the estate, about 40,000 square feet, which holds four-star standing.
- Greg Norman's 18-hole course on the shared estate, with Shingle Creek running toward the Everglades at its back.
