The Castle Hotel Orlando is part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection. I’m familiar with other hotels in the collection, such as the <a href="https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/jaxak-casa-monica-resort-and-spa-autograph-collection/">Casa Monica in St. Augustine</a>, which I’ve had the pleasure of dining at but not staying. That said, I was excited to have the chance to finally stay at one of the Autograph Collection hotels.</p><p></p><p><img src="https://saverocity.com/taggingmiles/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2017/05/IMG_1693-e1494892364371-740x740.jpg" data-url="https://saverocity.com/taggingmiles/wp-content/uploads/sites/16/2017/05/IMG_1693-e1494892364371-740x740.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="" title="" /></p><p></p><p>The Castle Hotel, Orlando FL</p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: 18px"><strong><strong>The Castle Hotel Orlando</strong></strong></span></p><p></p><p></p><p>We arrived at the hotel late, it was after 11pm by the time we got there.
