Marriott Orlando Downtown

Marriott Orlando Downtown is a hotel at 400 West Livingston Street, Orlando, Florida, 32801, within the Downtown Orlando district. The property, operated by Marriott International, opened in 1971 as the Sheraton Orlando Downtown and transitioned to the Marriott brand in 2018 following a $30 million renovation completed that year. The 15-story building contains 297 rooms and was originally designed by Wimberly, Whisenand, Allison, Tong & Goo with a concrete and glass exterior. The hotel’s location places it 0.6 miles from the Kia Center and 11 miles from Orlando International Airport, with direct access to Interstate 4.

The building covers 225,000 square feet and includes 17,000 square feet of meeting space across 11 rooms, with the largest, the Grand Ballroom, spanning 5,400 square feet and accommodating up to 500 people. The 2018 renovation updated guest rooms, added the M Club Lounge, and introduced two onsite dining options: Shade Bar & Grill and a Starbucks kiosk. Marriott Orlando Downtown employs approximately 150 staff members and operates a 24-hour front desk with security. Parking is available through a city-managed lot across the street at $25 per day, with no onsite garage as of February 2025.

Reservations are available through Marriott.com or by calling 407-843-6664, requiring a credit card and government-issued ID at check-in. The hotel enforces a no-smoking policy with a $250 penalty for violations and does not allow pets, except for service animals. The 2018 renovation improved energy efficiency by 12% with new lighting and HVAC systems, according to Marriott’s sustainability data. Its position near Lake Eola Park, 0.8 miles away, and the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, 0.7 miles away, provides access to cultural and recreational areas.
