Unlike Disney and Universal Studios, SeaWorld Orlando does not have any of their own “on-site” hotels. Instead, they have partnered with around fifteen local hotels to offer complimentary SeaWorld-related perks as well as exclusive SeaWorld Orlando Vacation Package deals. If you’re looking for single tickets only, check out our SeaWorld tickets post for the best ticket only deals.

SeaWorld Official Hotels and Hotel Partners

SeaWorld Orlando hotels are designated as either “Official Hotels” or “Hotel Partners”. The two categories are similar but the Official Hotels offer more benefits.

Because of the proximity of SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Cove they effectively “share” the hotels.

Staying at an official SeaWorld Orlando hotel is not just a convenient option, but it also offers a number of benefits that enhance your overall experience.

One of the key advantages is the proximity to the park itself. Being just steps away from SeaWorld allows you to maximize your time, as you can easily make multiple visits to the park without worrying about long commutes or parking hassles.

Benefits	Official Seaworld Hotel	SeaWorld Partner Hotel
Free access to the SeaWorld Rescue Tour	Yes
Free shuttle to SeaWorld, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove	Yes
10% Discount on Dining at SeaWorld, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove	Yes	Yes
20% Discount off Merchandise purchases over $50 or more at SeaWorld, Aquatica, and Discovery Cove	Yes	Yes
Priority park entry to SeaWorld	Yes	Yes

Official SeaWorld Hotels

SeaWorld Partner Hotels

Additionally, guests of these hotels often enjoy exclusive perks such as early park entry and extended park hours, allowing you to beat the crowds and enjoy popular attractions with shorter wait times. Moreover, staying on-site grants you access to special SeaWorld vacation packages and discounts, which can be incredibly advantageous for families or individuals looking to make the most of their budget.

On top of that, these hotels are designed to provide a relaxing and immersive experience, with themed rooms, luxurious amenities, and quality dining options that cater to all tastes. Whether it’s enjoying a swim in a stunning pool, indulging in delicious cuisine, or taking advantage of shuttle services to the park, staying at an official SeaWorld Orlando hotel ensures a seamless and unforgettable vacation.

Staying at either a SeaWorld Official Hotel or Hotel Partner provides guests with the following benefits:

10% off dining at SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Cove
20% off merchandise purchases of $50 or more at SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Cove
priority entry to SeaWorld via the VIP entrance

The advantage of staying at an Official Hotel is you also receive two additional benefits:

complimentary access to the SeaWorld Rescue Tour
shuttle transportation to SeaWorld, Aquatica and Discovery Cove (schedules vary by hotel)

You need to show your benefits card or Resort Guest lanyard to receive the food and merchandise discounts. These can be picked up from your hotel Guest Service Desk.

Many of the hotels are just a few minutes walk away from the SeaWorld main entrance but if you do not have your own transportation then the Official Hotels make a better choice.

As well as all these perks, SeaWorld also offer specific vacation package deals with even more benefits.

SeaWorld Orlando Hotel Deals

There are several Seaworld Orlando vacation package deals. They are for fun vacations with the kids, romantic weekend getaways for two, adrenaline junkies seeking thrills, seasonal deals to tie in with specific events and more.

With all the packages you can also add an additional park with length of stay admission at a special low price.

When looking at the choice of hotel accommodation, with some hotels there will be a minimum length of stay and packages need to be booked at least 48 hours in advance of the check-in date.
