The Point Hotel

Tucked at 7389 Universal Boulevard, The Point Hotel & Suites sits a mere 2,625 feet from the electric buzz of International Drive, offering a chic yet cozy escape in Orlando’s vibrant core. Just 2.2 miles from the Orange County Convention Center and a stone’s throw from Universal Epic Universe, this hotel is a prime pick for travelers craving both business convenience and theme park thrills. The Orlando International Premium Outlets, 1.9 miles away, and Artegon Marketplace, 1.6 miles off, add shopping flair to the mix, all within a 12-mile hop from Orlando International Airport.

The outdoor pool sparkles as a centerpiece, flanked by the Cabana Bar & Grill, where you can sip cocktails or nibble light bites under the sun. Inside, suites and studios cater to every vibe—studios boast microwaves, small refrigerators, and coffee makers, while suites up the ante with full kitchens, balconies, and in-room laundry. All come with cable TVs and separate living areas with sofa beds, perfect for stretching out. Free Wi-Fi hums in the lobby, and the Barista in the lobby serves up à la carte breakfasts—think fresh coffee and pastries—plus snacks all day. The 24-hour fitness room, hot tub, and business center keep you on track, whether you’re sweating, soaking, or working.

This spot blends practicality with pizzazz. Free parking eases the load for drivers, and the 24-hour front desk, with its concierge flair, sorts everything from express check-ins to local tips. Online buzz raves about the spacious suites and poolside vibe, with recent touches like electric car chargers and soundproof rooms adding modern polish. Fun fact: the hot tub once hosted a guest-led “bubble bash” that’s still a social media hit!

What’s Inside

The Point feels fresh and inviting. Rooms hum with adjustable AC and blackout curtains for solid rest, while safes and desks keep essentials secure and work flowing. The poolside bar buzzes with energy, and the garden nook offers a quiet retreat. Accessibility is a win, with wheelchair-friendly paths, Braille signage, and outdoor furniture for all to enjoy. The staff’s knack for hospitality—like quick grocery delivery or billiards tips—adds a warm spark.

The location is a treasure trove. Steps from Universal Boulevard’s pulse, you’re near Universal Studios (1 mile) and Fun Spot America (1.5 miles) for retro rides. Dining shines with Miller’s Ale House, a 5-minute walk for pub grub, or Bahama Breeze, a 7-minute stroll for island flavors. The convention center’s proximity suits business travelers, and the pool’s gluten-free menu options nod to diverse tastes.

Local Highlights

Guests love the kitchen-equipped suites and free parking, with one recalling their kid’s glee at the hot tub bubbles. The nearby I-Drive 360, 1 mile away, tempts with The Wheel’s skyline views, while golf lessons at Shingle Creek, 3 miles off, beckon enthusiasts. The hotel’s smoke-free stance keeps it crisp, with soundproofing sealing out the bustle.
