The Inn at Celebration

Set in the planned community of Celebration, The Inn at Celebration, Autograph Collection is a calm, walkable home base that’s well-suited for teams playing at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex who want a quieter reset between game blocks. Instead of the busy, theme-park-lobby atmosphere, you get a smaller, neighborhood-style setting where dinners, coffee runs, and quick regrouping points are close by.

Unlike large resort towers that spread a group across multiple wings, this hotel tends to feel more contained and easier to manage. That matters for coaches and trip leads who need to do fast headcounts, keep curfews simple, and avoid turning every meet-up into a scavenger hunt. The surrounding streets are built for walking, so parents and players can move around without constantly coordinating rides.

Between tournaments, downtime usually comes down to basic recovery: sleep, hydration, a quick meal, and a low-stress place to sit. Expect a standard set of full-service hotel essentials that support that rhythm, including Wi-Fi for schedule updates and team messaging, common areas that work for short conversations, and an outdoor pool setup that gives players a break without leaving the property.

For teams, the location works because you can keep the drive to the fields reasonable while still staying near everyday needs. Celebration’s dining and convenience options help when game times shift, and the area tends to be easier for quick supply runs than the busiest visitor corridors. If you’re booking multiple rooms, Engine.com can handle the room block, keep the rooming list organized, and consolidate billing so you are not chasing changes after the schedule drops.
