After first booking a stay last year my husband and I knew we must come back. We scheduled to celebrate his birthday at the Fabulous hotel and had reservations again at Bacan. We had their 5 coarse tasting, which we would highly recommend. The staff there and at the Wave Hotel was very helpful, friendly and polite. Can't wait to return! Ty -The Covin's

My husband and I stayed at the Wave Hotel in Lake Nona from December 23–27 and had a great experience. The service was excellent, and we really enjoyed our stay. The hotel is beautiful and very comfortable. After we got home, I even reached out to ask about the comforter and sheets because they were that good. Jose was so nice and took the time to get me the information, which I really appreciated. I would definitely recommend the Wave Hotel and look forward to staying there again.

We recently stayed at the Wave Hotel in Orlando, and it was easily one of the most unique and enjoyable hotel experiences we’ve had in the area. From the moment you walk in, the hotel feels modern, upscale, and thoughtfully designed without feeling cold or uninviting. One of the standout features is the technology in the rooms. Everything feels smart and seamless, from lighting controls to room settings. The bathrooms deserve special mention—having high-tech Toto toilets was an unexpected but very welcome upgrade. It’s a small detail, but it really adds to the luxury feel and shows how much attention the hotel pays to guest comfort. The food options were another highlight of our stay. There are excellent dining choices on site, and every meal we had was fresh, flavorful, and well presented. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or sitting down for a full meal, the quality is noticeably higher than what you’d expect from a typical hotel restaurant. It made it easy to relax and enjoy the property without needing to leave for meals. The overall atmosphere at the Wave Hotel strikes a great balance between modern luxury and comfort. It’s perfect for travelers who appreciate innovative design, quality food, and upscale amenities. Whether you’re visiting Orlando for business, a short getaway, or as part of a longer vacation, the Wave Hotel stands out as a memorable place to stay. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different and elevated in Orlando.

Stay here for an event at Boxi Park. Ate in their restaurant and food was delicious and reasonably priced. The toilet is the state of the art complete with heated seat, Biden and control panel that literally does everything! Windows are smart and tinted throughout the day to minimize glare and sunlight. IPad in the room to communicate with front desk and room service. I would definitely stay here again. It's close to the airport too. Pool area very nice. Close to bar and restaurant.

Retro, Artsy, Cool: Lake Nona’s Wave Hotel is such a unique experience. The vibe is very retro and eclectic in the best way—stylish, artsy, and thoughtfully designed. They have three different bars, live music, a gorgeous sculpture garden, and a second-floor outdoor pool that feels like a hidden escape. Everything about this hotel feels intentional and elevated. Perfect for a staycation or a night out. Highly recommend if you love great design, atmosphere, and energy.

We had a really enjoyable stay at Wave Hotel at Lake Nona. The property is beautiful and definitely feels like a posh, boutique experience. Our room was very nice—modern, sleek, and packed with tech that made the space feel futuristic and thoughtfully designed. The bathroom deserves a special mention: the Japanese-style toilet was excellent—fully automated with a heated seat and bidet, and honestly a very nice touch that added to the luxury feel of the room. That said, with all the tech comes a few growing pains. One of the windows in our room had failed, and the TV was difficult to operate. We spent close to an hour working with tech support trying to get sound to work but unfortunately couldn’t get it resolved. The in-room iPad (which controls many features) also died and wouldn’t recharge, which made things a bit trickier. Room service was a little unusual as well. Ordering breakfast in advance through the iPad wasn’t an option, and since the iPad was dead, we couldn’t use it at all. We probably could have called, but we were hoping to have breakfast arrive without waiting in the morning—just a personal preference. All that said, the room itself was comfortable, stylish, and quiet, and the overall atmosphere of the hotel is impressive. Despite a few tech-related frustrations, we still had a very nice stay and would absolutely consider returning, especially as the systems get more refined.

A fantastic stay at Lake Nona Wave Hotel. The hotel blends modern design, innovative technology, and vibrant art beautifully. Rooms were stylish, funky and comfortable, service was excellent, and the dining options were outstanding especially their BACÁN restaurant. A truly unique and refreshing luxury experience in Orlando. The proximity to the airport is also a plus point.
