ette hotel
Quietly luxurious, design-forward wellness retreat. Minimalist and serene — a deliberate antidote to the neon chaos of the surrounding theme park corridor. Think neutral palette, curated scent, museum-quality books, and a gated pool surrounded by Traveler's Palms.
Ask for a room on the 5th or 6th VIP club floors for Elegant-tier perks and service.
Why It Matters
One of only three Michelin Key hotels in Orlando. Privately owned by Alex and Sheila Ekbatani. Opened 2021, the hotel introduced genuine luxury boutique hospitality to a market dominated by mega-resorts. The Laundry Museum — a glass-walled, open-concept laundry facility you can actually sit and watch — is unlike anything at any other hotel in the world.
Ette is Kissimmee's only luxury boutique hotel — 126 rooms built on a former motel footprint, completely transformed into something that would hold its own in New York or Miami. Earthy tones, Frette linens, Le Labo toiletries, and Loftie soundscape clocks fill rooms where dark hardwood floors literally absorb ambient noise. Michelin Key recipient two years running (2024 and 2025), with Michelin-starred chef Akira Back overseeing all food and drink, including a rooftop bar with views of the nightly Disney fireworks.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Elegant King
The VIP club floor king option. Striking contemporary design, exclusive 5th and 6th floor placement, and all the hallmark ette amenities wrapped in a bit more prestige. The step up from True King is mostly about service level and floor access.
One King Bed
Elegant Queen
Exclusive to the 5th and 6th VIP club floors. Same layout as the True Queen but with a step-up in service — you're on the floor where the staff-to-guest ratio gets noticeably more attentive. Club-floor perks and enhanced amenities come standard.
Two Queen Beds
Timeless King Suite
Large windows frame a hand-crafted seating area with a separate living space — good for anyone who wants room to breathe after a park day. King bed in the finest linens, marble vanities, and custom decorative objects throughout. This is the classic suite option without the in-room fitness equipment.
One King BedTrue King
Same polished look as the True Queen but with a single king bed — better for couples who want the space to themselves. Contemporary decor with custom decorative objects, the same Frette/Le Labo/Loftie trio, and a bathroom that genuinely feels like a spa.
One King BedTrue Queen
The entry-level room, and still a solid choice. Two plush queen beds dressed in Frette linen, dark hardwood floors that genuinely dampen sound, marble vanities in the bathroom, and Le Labo amenities in a signature box. Loftie alarm clock lets you wake to ocean sounds instead of a jarring buzz. ADA-accessible option available.
Two Queen BedsWellness Suite
The top-of-house choice for anyone making wellness central to the trip. In-room Peloton bike and Technogym bench sit in the separate living room alongside a pull-out sofa. Spa butler access lets you coordinate in-room treatments without leaving the suite. Marble bathroom, king bed in Frette linen, Le Labo box, the works. ADA-accessible option available.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The 6th-floor rooftop offers unobstructed sightlines to the nightly Walt Disney World fireworks. No park ticket required. One of the best free perks of staying here.
A boutique in the heart of the hotel stocked with personal and home accoutrements. Intimate atmosphere with knowledgeable staff. Think thoughtful gifts, lifestyle objects, and items that match the hotel's aesthetic.
The world's first open-concept hotel laundry facility — a glass-walled viewing experience where guests watch in-house laundry specialists at work. Grab a Bomb-ette pastry and Onyx coffee, take a seat on the long bench, and watch linen-folding as performance art. Genuinely unlike anything at any other hotel.
Over 4,000 sq ft of meeting and event space. LIPA Rooftop is available for private dining and events. The hotel also hosts themed evening programming and seasonal experiences.
A curated perfume bar in the lobby featuring brands like Lalique and Nishane, with a focus on Italian fragrance houses. Available for browsing, testing, and purchasing. One of the first things guests encounter on arrival.
A daily poolside popsicle service for younger guests — a small touch that makes the heated saltwater pool area more family-friendly without compromising the overall tranquil vibe.
A private collection of Taschen library and limited-edition books, housed on custom bookshelves. White gloves are required before handling the rarest volumes. Ask the concierge for access.
