Orlando World Center Marriott, the world’s largest Marriott property, has completed a comprehensive renovation of its Grand Ballroom and surrounding convention spaces, introducing updated design elements and expanded amenities for event planners and attendees.
The redesigned Grand Ballroom spans more than 36,000 square feet and offers 14 configurable spaces. Renovation work includes new carpet, wall coverings, airwall coverings, entry doors, trim and contemporary chandeliers, along with upgraded lighting and sound systems.
“This transformation reflects our commitment to providing world-class event experiences,” said Robert Bray, general manager of Orlando World Center Marriott. “Every detail has been carefully designed to blend sophistication with adaptability.”
The renovation extends beyond the ballroom. Foyer areas received new communal and soft seating to support work and networking, and public restrooms were modernized. The hotel also added three large-scale digital boards in key areas of the convention space for branding and sponsorship opportunities, complementing existing digital boards at the entrance and porte-cochere.
The updated design features a gray and blue color palette with energy-efficient LED lighting throughout. The full convention offering totals more than 500,000 square feet of flexible function space, ranging from boardrooms to one of the largest pillar-free ballrooms in the world at 105,000 square feet.
Guest accommodations include hard-surface flooring, expansive workstations with ample outlets, walk-in showers, in-room refrigerators, high-speed Wi-Fi and private balconies overlooking the 200-acre resort and Walt Disney World.
The property features 10 dining outlets, a 400,000-gallon lagoon pool, seven waterslides, a kids’ splash zone and a 575-foot lazy river.
