Where do downtown groups get picked up?

Downtown hotels that groups use include the Grand Bohemian Hotel Orlando, Aloft Orlando Downtown, Embassy Suites Orlando Downtown near Lake Eola, Home2 Suites Downtown Orlando and The Delaney Hotel in Thornton Park. Downtown streets are tighter than tourist corridors, with one-way blocks and short loading zones, so a minibus often fits better for small groups, and a full motorcoach should load where the hotel tells you buses are allowed. Our downtown Orlando hotel guide lists more options, and conference groups should see corporate charter service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Book a round trip with a fixed drop-off before doors open and a pickup about 30 minutes after the event ends, at a spot the carrier confirms is legal for buses near the Kia Center, the former Amway Center at 400 W Church St. Downtown streets close and fill quickly on event nights, so pick a meeting landmark everyone knows. If the group is coming from outside downtown, the same bus can collect everyone at a hotel or office first.
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is about 13 road miles and 24 minutes of free-flow driving from downtown Orlando, using SR 408 and SR 436 (OSRM routing, as of October 7, 2026). Weekday rush hours can add 15 to 30 minutes. For departing flights, schedule the hotel pickup with time for the drive, traffic and unloading a group's bags, plus the 2 hours most airlines suggest for domestic flights.
Often yes, but it depends on the hotel. Downtown blocks have one-way streets, short loading zones and limited curb space, so ask the hotel where a 56-passenger motorcoach is allowed to stop and pass that to the carrier. For groups of 15 to 25, a minibus is easier to place on downtown curbs and in hotel drives. The carrier can suggest the vehicle that fits both the headcount and the pickup spot.
