Relax, Recharge & Rediscover the Magic at The Point Hotel & Suites

Where quiet comfort meets the thrill of world-class attractions—just steps from the action, but miles from the crowds.

When people hear “Orlando,” they often think of crowded theme parks, children in mouse ears, and adrenaline-packed rides. But what if you’re looking for a different kind of magic? For adults in their 50s and 60s, especially those with grown kids or none at all, Orlando has a surprisingly serene side that’s perfect for a relaxing escape. At the heart of it is The Point Hotel & Suites, a boutique hotel that offers all the perks of proximity without the pandemonium.

A Peaceful Hotel in the Heart of Orlando

Tucked off the buzzing International Drive, The Point Hotel & Suites is like finding an oasis in the middle of the theme park capital. This boutique-style hotel strikes a rare balance, close enough to the action to be convenient, but far enough to feel like a quiet retreat. Whether you're in a spacious suite with a full kitchen or a cozy deluxe room, the vibe is calm, clean, and quietly elegant.

What makes The Point stand out? It’s not just the stylish rooms or the sparkling outdoor pool, it’s the feeling that you’ve stumbled upon a local secret. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere encourages a slower pace. After a day of sightseeing, the hotel feels like a personal sanctuary where you can kick off your shoes and breathe.

Close to Everything—But Not Too Close

One of The Point’s biggest assets is its location. It’s only about a mile from Universal Orlando Resort, which makes exploring The Wizarding World of Harry Potter or catching a thrill on the Jurassic World VelociCoaster incredibly easy. If you're not a coaster junkie, don’t worry, Universal CityWalk offers great dining, live music, and people-watching, perfect for a laid-back evening out.

Just as close is International Drive, known to locals as “I-Drive,” a strip brimming with entertainment and dining options. Think upscale restaurants like The Capital Grille, casual bites at ICON Park, or even a ride on The Orlando Eye, a 400-foot-tall observation wheel offering panoramic views of Orlando’s skyline. Want to get in a round of mini golf, indulge in designer outlet shopping, or catch a comedy show? It’s all right there, minutes from your hotel room.

Relaxing After the Rush

Orlando is filled with excitement, but sometimes you just want to unwind. That’s where The Point shines. Their outdoor pool and hot tub area offers a quiet spot under the palm trees, great for a midday break or an evening wind-down.

Need a moment of solitude? Enjoy your morning coffee on your private balcony or take advantage of the hotel's fitness center to stretch and reset. Many suites have full kitchens, which means you can skip the crowds and cook in, which is ideal for longer stays or simple breakfasts before heading out.

For the Traveler Who’s Seen It All

If you've done Disney with the kids and you're not into rushing from ride to ride anymore, The Point Hotel & Suites offers something different. It’s for travelers who want to blend activity with relaxation, comfort with convenience. Whether you're in town for a show at Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, a stroll through Leu Gardens, or simply a warm-weather escape, this is a base that respects your time, your taste, and your desire for a little peace and quiet.

Final Thought

Orlando doesn’t have to mean mouse ears and meltdowns. With The Point Hotel & Suites as your home base, you can enjoy all the wonders of Central Florida while returning to a space that feels tailored for grown-ups. It’s not about avoiding the fun, it’s about choosing how you enjoy it.

So go ahead, ride the coasters, eat the churros, catch the fireworks. Then come back, pour a glass of wine, and relax by the pool. Orlando’s grown-up side is waiting.
