What makes Orlando, Florida, so romantic? Nightly fireworks shows, sunny weather perfect for walking hand-in-hand, and world-class dining destinations practically made for unforgettable date nights. Then there are legendary entertainment experiences and nightlife like nowhere else. You and your beloved can ride in a swan boat, take in skyline views from a 400-foot Ferris wheel, and share in the joy of witnessing some of the world’s best performers. Build a date to remember right here at Hotel Landy. 

Here are a few of our favorite ways to make your date memorable in Orlando.

Cocktails & Cuisine at Hotel Landy

Nothing says date night quite like sharing a delicious meal—right here at Hotel Landy. Inspired by Émilie Du Châtelet, a groundbreaking mathematician whose work paved the way for roller coasters, Émilie Bar + Lounge offers just the right ambiance for an Orlando date night. Sip on some handcrafted cocktails and nibble new spins on classic favorites like steak frites, fish tacos, and roasted chicken. Then share something sweet for dessert, like lemon cream cake or chocolate torte. 

Want to get your date night started a little early with a sunny afternoon by the pool? Switch into your swimwear for some sips at Liquid Sunshine. Our poolside food truck offers frozen piña coladas, ice-cold beer and seltzers, and shareable snacks. You can toast to your love while kicking back for a relaxing afternoon in the Florida sunshine. 

Ride Swan Boats at Lake Eola Park

Start your Orlando date night with an evening on the water. Rent a swan boat at Lake Eola and pedal around the historic lake in the middle of the city. For just $15 for a 30-minute rental, you can take your time enjoying the sights of downtown and pedaling to the lake’s famous fountain to share a picturesque kiss!

Lake Eola is one of the most scenic environments in all of Orlando, making it a great place to grab a selfie or two together. When you’re through with your swan boat ride, you can stroll along the lake path or throw down a blanket and have a charming picnic while real swans waddle by. Explore gorgeous gardens or visit the area’s many restaurants. Lake Eola is built for relaxation and is sure to help you unwind together. 

Savor Something Sweet

Craving something to satisfy your shared sweet tooth? The Greenery Creamery is just south of Lake Eola, and it’s the ideal place to order dairy and vegan artisanal ice cream. They offer 16 flavors daily, along with milkshakes, soda floats, cookie sandwiches, and brownie sundaes! Whatever you’re craving, you’ll find the sugary goodness here. Grab a shake with two straws or split a sundae to indulge together.

Looking for imaginative desserts to share on social media? With a name like Sugar Factory, you know the deliciousness will be off the charts! You won’t be disappointed by the desserts at this must-visit restaurant and colorful candy shop in ICON Park. Split an order of their fondue to dip strawberries, bananas, cake bites, and brownies into warm melted milk chocolate with toasted marshmallows. Or order up a cookie skillet featuring a warm chocolate cookie stuffed with Nutella and sprinkled with candy confetti. One category on the menu you’ll have to see to believe: their “insane milkshakes”. These treats take indulgence to a whole new level and come topped with cotton candy, donuts, or full slices of cake! 

There are more goodies than you can count at Orlando’s many theme parks, from classics like cotton candy, churros, and funnel cakes to innovative desserts based on your favorite characters from movies and television. If you and your sweetheart share sweet tooths, Orlando is the place to be.

Discover Discovery Cove Together

According to USA Today, there’s an Orlando attraction that stands above the rest as the “Most Romantic Thing to Do in Orlando”: Discovery Cove. This all-inclusive day resort offers once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to swim with the dolphins, watch exotic birds, snorkel with rays, and soak up the Florida sun. Because it’s all-inclusive, your visit will include unlimited food and drinks.

To make your Discovery Cove date even more special, you can book a VIP package. Your day will begin early with express check-in aided by your VIP host. You’ll then get to share in an exclusive animal meet and greet, getting up close and personal with one of Discovery Cove’s incredible creatures. Next up, an aviary tour with a professional, where you can hand-feed exotic birds from around the world. Follow that up with breakfast, then mingle with flamingos before floating along pristine waters. Swim with our friendly bottlenose dolphins before enjoying a delightful lunch. In the afternoon, you’ll snorkel with sharks and explore the Grand Reef where there are tropical fish. The VIP package also includes a private cabana and photo session with a professional photographer. 

Planning to pop the question? Discovery Cove offers a Premium Proposal Celebration package to make your proposal truly spectacular – including a buoy with a personalized message delivered by a dolphin (yes, you read that right!). 

Dine with a Fireworks View

Disney’s signature dining experience, California Grill, offers fresh, seasonal ingredients and favorites like fresh pasta, sushi, wood-fired pizza, and an extensive selection of wines. The best part? It all overlooks Disney’s Magic Kingdom from 15 stories above, meaning you can take in awe-inspiring views as you enjoy your meal. This is one of the best places in all of Orlando to witness Disney’s nightly Happily Ever After fireworks, making it the ideal spot for an upscale date night featuring a dazzling display of light and color.

A Bubbly Spa Experience

Fans of bubbly beverages and bubbly tubs won’t want to miss My Beer Spa, a totally unique spa in Orlando. Not only is it a fun concept you’ll be telling all your friends about, it’s got therapeutic benefits to boot! Book one of their oversized, extra-deep tubs that are specially designed to accommodate two people at a time for a cozy way to unwind together. Private rooms feature televisions, saunas, and a complimentary beer tower. Sweat away the stress in the sauna and then hop into the tubs for the ultimate relaxation — all with a beer in hand, if you so choose! 

See Orlando from Above

Love is about seeing things in new ways, and what better way to gain a fresh perspective than from 400 feet above? The Orlando Eye at ICON Park is one of Orlando’s most popular attractions. Imagine sealing your date with an embrace high above the beautiful city skyline. The 20-minute ride provides breathtaking views of downtown Orlando, Walt Disney World, and much more. 

The Orlando Eye itself is a spectacle outfitted with over 60,000 colorful LEDs that create a dynamic light show. Beyond the ride, ICON Park is packed with over 50 restaurants, shops, and other attractions, offering a full day of entertainment. And if you’re staying at Hotel Landy, you’re in luck – ICON Park is just a five-minute drive away, with free parking for paid guests of The Orlando Eye. 

For an extra special touch, consider the “Sips in the Sky” package, which includes a glass of champagne, wine, beer, or non-alcoholic beverage to toast your love, an extra rotation for more time to make memories, and a Digital Photo Pass to capture the moment.
