The romantic evening begins with your choice of steak, chicken or seafood dinner at the hotel’s fine dining restaurant, Jack’s Place. One of Florida Trend’s top recommended restaurants in Orlando and voted Orlando magazine’s Best Restaurant on International Drive, Jack’s Place is named for owner Harris Rosen’s father who during his 30-year tenure at the Waldorf Astoria sketched over 100,000 warm and humorous caricatures of visiting celebrities and VIPs, including Jackie Kennedy, Hank Aaron, Indira Ghandi and Henry Kissinger, to name a few. In Sardi’s-like style, the restaurant is adorned with selections from this impressive autographed collection, creating a sophisticated ambiance.
After the four-course meal for two, including soup, salad, main course and dessert, couples can dance their hearts away at the hotel’s onsite nightclub Backstage, International Drive’s original nightclub, all the while enjoying music from the 80s, 90s and today. Or for a more intimate setting, enjoy an after dinner drink in the cozy Lobby Bar lounge.
The romance really heats up as guests retire to a deluxe room, outfitted with crisp, white bed linens, luxurious down pillows and regal gold-toned duvets, in a soothing guestroom.
The following morning, an all-you-care-to-eat breakfast buffet awaits at Café Matisse, one of four onsite restaurants.
