The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes

Why it's in the collection

Because it is the only hotel in Orlando that holds five-star standing, and it earns it on a 500-acre estate with a three-story spa, Greg Norman golf and kayaks on Shingle Creek – reasons to stay put in a city built for going out.

• Opened in 2003 on the 500-acre Grande Lakes estate, shared with JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes – 582 rooms and suites, from Club Level to the Presidential and Royal Suites and three- and four-bedroom Luxury Residences.
• Knife & Spoon, chef John Tesar's modern steakhouse; Highball & Harvest, the Southern kitchen; The Lobby Lounge, the Bleu Pool Bar and Fairways Pub at the golf clubhouse.
• The Ritz-Carlton Spa across three stories and about 40,000 square feet – 40 treatment rooms, a 6,000-square-foot fitness center and a private 4,000-square-foot lap pool.
• An 18-hole, par-72 championship course by Greg Norman at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Club, guided kayak eco-tours on Shingle Creek toward the headwaters of the Everglades, and the Ritz Kids program.
