Disney's Beach Club Resort

Epcot Resort Area

Resort Map | Visitor Reviews

The essence of the New England seaside is captured at this Deluxe Resort. The Beach Club, located just west of Epcot, was created by architect Robert A. M. Stern, and is situated around a 25-acre lake. The five-story resort has a clapboard façade with whitewashed-wood trim, and painted a majestic blue. Walking along the patterned walkway, past a croquet court, guests will find the beachside cabanas sitting atop the white-sand beaches. Inside, guests are met by hosts and hostesses costumed in colorful beach resort attire from the 1870s. The resort carries a sun and surf theme, including a beautiful lobby with sea horse fixtures. This hotel is the nearest to Epcot.

GUEST ROOMS:
At about 380 square feet, the Beach Club's 572 rooms are quite spacious, and are playfully outfitted in seafoam greens and "cabana-striped pinks." Regular rooms allow a maximum of 5 guests and Suites fit 5 to 10 guests. Prices range from the high $200s to the mid $300s, with the Suites beginning at the mid $400s. The furniture is white, and each room contains either one king-sized bed or two queen-sized beds, as well as a sleeper sofa or daybed, double sinks and a magnifying mirror in it's own separate area, a table and chairs, a ceiling fan, a set of drawers and an armoire with a TV and a stocked mini-bar. Many, but not all, of the rooms have balconies or patios. The fifth floor rooms are considered nicer, as they were originally supposed to be concierge rooms. Many Guest Rooms feature water views. Non-smoking rooms and rooms for Guests with disabilities are available.
