The AMA has negotiated special group rates for the American Marketing Association. You must make your hotel reservations by August 12, 2011 and request the American Marketing Association room block to qualify for the special group rate. After August 12, 2011, the rooms will be released for sale to the general public, and all reservations will be accepted on a space available basis at the hotel's available rate - not at the group rate. A deposit equal to (1) one night’s stay is required to hold your reservation. Deposits are refundable if cancellations are received three (3) days prior to arrival and a cancellation number is obtained.

Check in time is 3:00 p.m., and check out is at 12:00 p.m. Anyone arriving earlier than 3:00 p.m. will be checked in as soon as a room(s) becomes available. Guests checking out early may be assessed an early departure fee. Upon check in, guests will be asked to verify their departure date. At that time, scheduled departure dates may be altered.

Orlando's newest AAA 4-Diamond hotel is located near Walt Disney World® Resort and is nestled on a 482-acre nature preserve.  The resort amenities include 12 dining and lounge options, lagoon-style pool with lazy river, complimentary deluxe transportation to and from the Walt Disney World® Theme Parks and Downtown Disney® Area, and adjacent Spa by Guerlain® and championship golf club. The 1,001 guest rooms and suites are restful, private retreats with outstanding amenities and services provided by the professional staff. An equally sublime, but entirely different sort of experience awaits at the exclusive European Spa by Guerlain®. Or play an inspired round of golf on the beautifully serene Rees Jones-designed course. Swim in the free-form lagoon-style pool with water slide. 

Surrounded on three sides by Walt Disney World® Resort, Bonnet Creek combines the best of two spectacular and adjacent properties – Waldorf Astoria® Orlando, the first newly built Waldorf Astoria since the legendary original in New York City, and Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek.
