Disney4me Posted July 17 Report Posted July 17 We recently got to check out a hotel in the Orlando area that’s entirely new to us, and it was INCREDIBLE. Let’s go to the LEGOLAND Hotel! We visited LEGOLAND Florida and stopped by their LEGOLAND Hotel. When we tell you guys that this hotel is made with kids in mind, we mean it! The details are well thought out, and the theming was over the top and incredible. Interested in staying there in the future? Come along with us on the full tour! Atmosphere & Lobby Welcome to the LEGOLAND Hotel, one of three hotels that are part of LEGOLAND Florida! The LEGO detailing starts on the exterior, so that when you first drive up, you’re already immersed in the theme. Porte cochere You’re even greeted by a LEGO doorman! LEGO figures everywhere There are LEGO play areas and interactive exhibits all throughout the lobby. We found this to be one of (if not THE) most kid-friendly hotels we’d ever been inside. Lobby Seriously, there are SO many areas for playing! While the adults check in (which is either at the front desk or one of the provided kiosks), kids can explore and create. So much to do! There’s a large castle-themed play area in the back of the lobby, complete with ball pit, and brick stations for small-scale building throughout the lobby. In the lobby There are several little activities — a pajama party, bonfire (you can buy a s’mores kit with nine s’mores for $25), and LEGO workshops at the Creative Workshop. They also have the LEGO Theater, which plays clips from The LEGO Movie. The LEGO Theater! But we can’t forget about the food! Dining There are two main restaurants in this hotel. The first is Bricks Family Restaurant, which serves breakfast from 7 AM to 11 AM and dinner from 5 PM to 9 PM. Bricks Family Restaurant The menu here is all-you-care-to-enjoy, with breakfast served family-style and dinner as a buffet. There are vegan and vegetarian menu items available as well. At the table Of course, the restaurant is also themed to LEGO, with giant models of LEGO characters and fun artwork. So themed! The other main dining spot is Skyline Lounge with theming of a city skyline sort of vibe. This one is open starting at noon each day and stays open until 9 PM Monday through Thursday, and until 10 PM Friday through Sunday. Skyline Lounge This lounge offers an à la carte menu and a full bar and has its own play area. Reservations are recommended to dine here. More LEGO! This is likely going to be your go-to spot if you want to grab lunch at the hotel, since Bricks Family Restaurant isn’t open during that time. The bar Amenities For hotel amenities, there’s one large pool available, which has giant floating LEGO bricks for kids to play with while they swim! The pool LEGOLAND Florida Resort is a certified Autism center, so you’ll find sensory guides in some of the public spaces. This is the one posted near the pool. Sensory Guide There’s also a waterslide open for part of the day! Unlike other hotels, this slide is separate from the pool. Waterslide LEGOLAND Hotel also has its own mini golf course, but you’ll need to pay extra to experience this. Mini Golf It’s themed to wild animals, which are — of course — made of LEGO. Pay at the kiosk There is a boardwalk and a pier where pontoon boat rides are sometimes offered. This is the perfect place to sit and watch the water! Dock And of course, there’s a shuttle available for those staying at the resort. The shuttle bus If you get lost, there are amenities maps posted around to help guide you. They even show where ramps are located as opposed to stairs! Map to guide you Now, let’s chat about the rooms! Room Tours LEGO Duplo Room There are seven different room types at LEGOLAND Hotel, and we got to see three of them during our visit. First up was the LEGO Duplo room, themed to those larger LEGO bricks that are made for smaller children. Entering the room Each of these hotel rooms is split into separate sleeping areas for adults and kids. Some room types are available in suites that sleep up to nine people, but the three rooms we saw each sleep up to five. The main area The theming in these rooms is seriously over-the-top! They have decorated nearly every inch of the walls and added in LEGO builds and figures throughout. TV and desk The kids get a bunkhouse space with a trundle bed to sleep the fifth person. The Duplo version of this was SO bright and colorful — themed to the jungle! Kids bunkhouse And of course, the bedding is decorated to match! The bunks Both the adult room and the kids’ space get TVs. There’s also some storage on the shelving underneath. Their own TV! The bathroom in the Duplo rooms is themed to the Arctic with Duplo penguins! We particularly love the LEGO-framed mirror. Bathroom And the toilets? They have adjustable seats for your little ones! Special toilet cover Of course, since these rooms are designed for families with kids, there’s a shower and tub combo with a removable shower head. Tub/shower combo But the best part about the hotel rooms at LEGOLAND Hotel might be the kid-friendly treasure hunt found in each room! Scavenger hunt! Each room has a little puzzle that kids can solve to open a lock on a chest by the door. The chest has fun stuff for the kids inside! There were two apple juice boxes and two LEGO DUPLO celebration cakes in our room. Our prizes! Now, on to the next! LEGO Friends Room Another room we toured was the LEGO Friends room! This is aimed toward slightly older children and has a summer camp-like theme. Entrance area The kids’ bunkhouse looks just like a cabin and has a fun campfire mural on the wall. They’ve even added letters on the floor! Bunkhouse space Like the other room, there’s a TV available and some storage for the kids. Kids’ TV There’s ample storage in the room for five people, including this wardrobe area with shelves, a luggage rack, drawers, and a safe. Storage Each room also comes with a full-length mirror. Full-length mirror The bathroom in these rooms is a bit more understated compared to the LEGO Duplo Room. Bathroom And of course, the main space has your bed, desk, chairs, and nightstands. Main bed The furniture in these hotel rooms was surprisingly sturdy — not cheesy at all! Desk and TV But our favorite theme might be… The LEGO Movie Room …the LEGO Movie Rooms! These are themed to one of the funniest kids’ movies of all time (in this writer’s humble opinion). Entrance Like the others, they have a scavenger hunt for the kiddos when you walk in. Start the scavenger hunt! There are SO many nods and hidden details from the movie around this room, from the posters and bulletin board to the characters on the bedding. Main bed Have we mentioned how fun this LEGO brick carpet is? You’ll see it in several spaces throughout the hotel, and it’s the perfect addition to the vibe. Desk and TV If you plan to stay in one of these rooms before your trip, we recommend watching the movie ahead of time so you can search for all of the Easter eggs. So many details! The bathroom is super over-the-top with bright colors… WILD bathroom …and a rainbow LEGO mirror! Each room comes equipped with towels and some basic toiletries. So many colors! The shower has shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that doubles as hand soap in easy-to-use pumps. Toiletries These kids’ bunks are themed to a rocket ship, and they are very cool! You get some outer space detailing and some fun “stickers” on the wall. Bunkhouse These E & L 4-Eva pillows are a fun hidden detail. We totally ship Emmet and Lucy! So cute! That’s a wrap on our visit to the LEGOLAND Hotel! This could be a great option for families with kids or LEGO lovers, because they do NOT skimp on the theme here. We really enjoyed our visit!
