Why Purchase A Condo Hotel In Orlando?

Condo hotels have quickly become one of the hottest commodities in real estate. As more and more people realize the investment potential of these units, the demand for these properties continues to grow. While the majority of buyers are focused on the investment opportunity a condo hotel offers, many are quickly realizing the extra benefit of the hassle-free ownership of a luxury unit in one of the top vacation destinations in the world. This ability to use a condo hotel as a vacation home is almost as important as the investment diversification that these properties offer.

With such a high demand for these properties, the condominium hotel market continues to see most new properties sell out in the pre-construction phase. In fact, because of the tremendous demand, a large percentage of these properties are taking reservations for the purchase of 100% of their units well before they have even broken ground on the new construction. It is the real estate investors that are getting in early who can purchase at a lower price point, secure many of the best units, and are realizing amazing initial appreciation on their condo hotel investments.

If you plan on utilizing a condo hotel unit as not only an investment opportunity but also as a vacation home, you will not find a better type of property or a better location than Orlando. A condo hotel provides first-class vacation accommodation in a high-demand location. Plus, when you are not using your unit, someone else takes care of the renting, managing, and maintenance. Truly the definition of a hassle-free opportunity!

The Condo Hotel Advantage…

  • Your luxury vacation accommodation that you and your family can use at any time located in the vacation capital of the world.
  • Generate a rental income from your unit when you are not using it.
  • Purchasing now allows you to get in at a lower price before the popularity of these units causes the influx of new investors to drive up prices.
  • Acting now also provides an opportunity for higher gains with a real estate investment that will diversify your portfolio. Condo hotels historically offer better returns than traditional real estate investments(2nd homes, commercial buildings, etc.) while allowing the owner to use and enjoy the property for themselves.
  • Hassle-free opportunity! Someone else takes care of the renting, managing, and maintenance of your unit.

The Orlando Advantage…

  • Orlando is one of the hottest housing markets not only in Florida but in the entire world. The demand for homes is so great that it currently has close to zero inventory of newly built vacation condos/homes.
  • Orlando property continues to be undervalued by 30% when compared to other major city markets in the United States.
  • The average hotel occupancy rate for Orlando is 78.9% (March ’03 through March ’04).
  • The average real estate appreciation rate for 2004-05 was 27% (with the short-term vacation rental market being higher).
  • Orlando sees 40 to 55 million visitors each year.

When I decided to put this list together I knew it was going to be a lot of fun and it would hopefully help quite a few people out when they decided to travel to these areas. I picked 5 different cities: Orlando, FL, Las Vegas, NV, New York, NY, San Francisco, CA, and Myrtle Beach, SC. These are all top destinations with great hotels and after traveling to them three times each I have found the best hotels by city in each area.

  1. Orlando, FL
    After staying at three different hotels in the Orlando area I found that the Walt Disney World Dolphin was by far the best hotel in Orlando. I stayed at what I thought would be the three best hotels for under $200 a night and this one was the best in Orlando. It is right in the Walt Disney area so the theme parks are easy to access and there are all types of great amenities you get to enjoy with your stay.
  2. Las Vegas, NV
    My favorite hotel of all is the Luxor out in Las Vegas. This one is shaped like a huge pyramid and features nightly shows, a huge casino, numerous pools, restaurants, and bars, and the rooms are immaculate. It is also well under $200 per night and is one of my tops of all the best hotels by city.
  3. New York, NY
    In New York, there are many great hotels that you could choose from, but I found a very cozy little hotel that is perfect and well-kept. It is called the Roger Smith Hotel and it was fantastic. The staff was super friendly and helped me with everything I needed. This one is on my list of the best hotels by city to go and stay in once again.
  4. San Francisco, CA
    In San Francisco, the Stanford Court is the choice that I make for my hotel stay. This is a great view of the city and is one of the taller hotels I have stayed in. It has just the right touch of class with enough fun to make even a family vacation wonderful. Plus it is priced under $150 a night, which is a complete steal. I would have paid double to stay here.
  5. Myrtle Beach, SC
    I have a pick that is not technically a hotel and a one-of-a-kind for my best hotels by the city in Myrtle Beach. It is the Royale Palms Condos. You do not get just a hotel stay here. You get a full condo to stay in and this is one of the best places I have ever stayed in Myrtle Beach. I have made many trips to this area and I was very impressed by the Royale Palms
