The $5m renovation lavished on the Orlando in 2005 brought a tasteful, straightforward aesthetic and cultured amenities. Done out in crisp white linens, with clutter conspicuous by its absence, the rooms aren't massive but they're not pokey either; standout features include comfortable beds and iPod speaker systems (the latter in some rooms only). The property also boasts a sparkling saltwater rooftop pool and a high-quality restaurant, Gino Angelini's La Terza. And the location is excellent too, slap on pedestrian-friendly W 3rd Street, lined with independent shops and restaurants, and within walking distance of the Farmers Market and the Grove.
