Since opening its doors in 1985, the Best Western Orlando Gateway Hotel has welcomed travelers to the heart of Central Florida’s tourism district. Built during a time when Orlando was rapidly emerging as one of the world’s most exciting travel destinations, the hotel quickly became a convenient home base for guests exploring International Drive and the nearby theme parks.
As the city transformed into a global hub for tourism, the property grew alongside it. In 2009, the hotel joined the internationally recognized Best Western® Hotels & Resorts family, bringing enhanced amenities and the trusted hospitality of one of the world’s most respected hotel brands.
Over the years, the hotel has continued to evolve, regularly refreshing guest rooms, amenities, and public spaces to ensure a comfortable and modern stay for today’s travelers while maintaining the welcoming atmosphere that guests have come to expect.
Located just minutes from Universal Orlando Resort™, including the groundbreaking Universal Epic Universe™ theme park, the Best Western Orlando Gateway Hotel places guests at the center of Orlando’s most exciting attractions.
For nearly four decades, the hotel has served as exactly what its name promises: a gateway to Orlando’s adventure, entertainment, and unforgettable memories.
