The take
The Take
The Vibe
Lake Nona Wave Hotel reads like an architectural manifesto: a 17-story tower that arrived with the neighborhood and, in many ways, defines it. The property presents a design-forward, technology-minded personality that anchors a planned community centered on wellness, connectivity, and active living. Rather than leaning on Orlando’s resort corridors, the Wave foregrounds urban intent — a smart-city aesthetic where trails, a walkable town center, and a focus on innovation shape the guest experience. The result is a hotel that feels intentional and emblematic, a contemporary landmark within a newly imagined community.
Best For
The Wave Hotel suits travelers who treat Orlando as a hub rather than a theme-park destination. Its proximity to Orlando International Airport, the Brightline rail station and Port Canaveral makes it an efficient choice for business travelers and anyone arriving or departing via multiple transit links. The hotel’s setting within a walkable, wellness-minded neighborhood — with miles of hiking and biking trails and a civic town center — also makes it a good pick for short leisure stays and active weekend escapes where mobility and connectivity matter more than traditional resort amenities.

How It Compares
Choose Lake Nona Wave Hotel when the priority is a polished Lake Nona stay with a stronger design signal and recent hotel recognition. JW Marriott Orlando, Grande Lakes is the safer choice for a larger resort feel, while The Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes is the better splurge when classic luxury service matters more than a newer-feeling room base.
For convention access and value, the Rosen group is easier to justify. Rosen Shingle Creek gives more resort scale, while Rosen Centre Hotel and Rosen Plaza Hotel are more practical if the trip revolves around International Drive or the convention center. Lake Nona Wave Hotel is the sharper call for a business stay in southeast Orlando or a quieter celebration base.
