The Swan and Dolphin Resorts
are two of the most distinctive and vibrant resorts in Walt Disney World. Their playful and distinctive architecture sets the tone of whimsical elegance found throughout these resorts.

The award winning Swan Hotel consists of a twelve story main building with two seven-story wings. There are
758 guest rooms, including luxury suites. Perched on its rooftop are two graceful swan sculptures.

Equally distinctive, the Dolphin Hotel has a twenty-seven story main building and tower with four nine-story
wings. This resort has 1,509 guest rooms, including luxury suites. The coral and turquoise exterior serves as a colorful backdrop to giant banana leaves. Two 56-foot Dolphin fountains adorn the roof.

Both resorts have completed a redesign by renowned architect, Michael Graves. The guestrooms have a luxurious yet relaxed feel. Perhaps the best feature are the amazing Heavenly Beds. You'll slip under a lofty white down comforter onto a pillow top mattress with five down pillows to snuggle in. Crisp, white 250 thread count sheets provide the final luxurious touch. Getting up in the morning isn't easy when you're enveloped in your own
cushioned cloud.

Both the Swan and Dolphin hotels have indoor corridors which feature a beach theme. The light fixtures resemble clouds and the doors are designed to appear as cabanas. There's no mistaking that you're in Florida with the tropical touches found throughout these spectacular resorts.

The pool complex is in a word "incredible." The three acre grotto setting is home to waterfalls, a white sand
beach, water slide, poolside casual restaurant and the trademark "swan boats."  It's the perfect spot to play
or simply relax.

The Swan and Dolphin hotels are situated across from each other and are connected by a canopied walkway
that leads to the boat launch to Epcot and Disney MGM Studios. Guests are also within walking distance to both
of these theme parks.

The Dolphin Hotel is closest to Disney’s Yacht Club and Beach Club Resorts, while the Swan Hotel is adjacent to
the Boardwalk Resort area. While there's plenty to do at both resorts, you're a short stroll away from the Boardwalk's active night life.

While they are conveniently located on Disney property, the Swan and Dolphin are part of the Starwood
Resorts and Hotels family of deluxe resorts. Since Disney does not own either of these resorts, they can
offer discounts that are not available through Disney.
