Holiday Inn & Suites Orlando - I-Drive - Theme Parks by IHG
IHG suites on International Drive
About this hotel
Holiday Inn & Suites Orlando - I-Drive - Theme Parks by IHG names its own corridor right in the hotel title: International Drive, Orlando's other major tourist strip, home to its own attractions and outlet malls, roughly 20 minutes from Disney's Typhoon Lagoon rather than the immediate Lake Buena Vista cluster. The IHG-branded property posts an 8.8 average from 1,363 reviews, a solid mid-to-large sample, and lists family suites for groups who want room to spread out after a day on Crush 'n' Gusher, plus spa-wellness service for a quieter morning. Staying on I-Drive trades a slightly longer drive to Typhoon Lagoon for easy access to I-Drive's own restaurants and attractions on days you skip the park entirely.
- 8.8/10 average from 1,363 reviews among these ten Typhoon Lagoon hotels.
- International Drive address, roughly 20 minutes from Typhoon Lagoon.
- Family suites and spa-wellness service both listed.
Our take
Our take: this is the pick if your trip is not purely Typhoon Lagoon-focused, International Drive gives you a base for other Orlando attractions on off days, at the cost of a longer drive to the park than a Lake Buena Vista address. The 8.8 average across 1,363 reviews is a reasonable sample, and the family suites plus spa-wellness service cover the basics most groups on this list are looking for. Budget the extra drive time into your park mornings.
- ✓Budget around 20 minutes each way to Disney's Typhoon Lagoon from this I-Drive location, longer than the Lake Buena Vista hotels on this list.
- ✓Use the I-Drive location for a non-Disney day; the corridor has its own restaurants and attractions within walking distance of some stretches.
- ✓Book the family suite category directly and confirm the spa-wellness schedule if you want a treatment on a park day.

Why guests love itWe chose Holiday Inn & Suites Orlando on I-Drive because our trip was not just about Disney's Typhoon Lagoon, we wanted a day for I-Drive's other attractions too. The family suite gave our kids a pull-out couch instead of a rollaway crammed against the wall, which made packing gear for the park much easier in the mornings. The drive to Typhoon Lagoon ran closer to 25 minutes than 20 in morning traffic, so we left earlier than planned. I used the spa-wellness service on our I-Drive day while my husband took the kids to a nearby arcade.
