Disney World has some great hotels. They’re known for high-quality service with a magical flair with options for any vacation.

When U.S. News revealed their new ranking for Best Hotels in Florida for 2026, we weren’t surprised that Disney World hotels were included among luxurious options like the Ritz-Carlton and the JW Marriott.

The Walt Disney World Swan Hotel was ranked 19th on the list of best Orlando hotels for 2026. The Swan Hotel is part of the Swan & Dolphin Resort on Crescent Lake.

The hotel is most notable for its walking location in Disney World, with walking paths to theme parks EPCOT and Hollywood Studios. It’s also right next door to Disney’s BoardWalk, which offers great dining and entertainment options without needing a park ticket.

Plus, when you get hungry, The Swan Hotel has multiple dining options that we love! Kimonos is an award-winning Japanese restaurant and lounge that serves authentic sushi and other seafood delicacies. Il Mulino is another favorite of ours that offers traditional Italian cuisine like pizza, pasta, chicken, and steak.
