The vision for B Resort's cutting-edge design and future programs calls for visitors to feel open to express how they aspire to be during their visit to the Orlando area.

B Ambiance
Entering the newly redesigned resort, guests' senses are immediately activated with a specially developed scent of white tea and thyme. A cascading waterfall takes center stage in the majestic lobby, creating a relaxing environment. Spacious public areas are conducive to business and socialization with soothing and sleek interior decor, intimate and flexible seating arrangements, FreeB Wi-Fi (complimentary high-speed internet access), courtesy guest iPads and other available entertainment options.

There will be two Master Poolside Suites, five Master Suites, 17 one-Bedroom Suites, and 20 family-friendly rooms with bunk beds. Master Suites were designed with business executives and extended stay guests in mind and contain an expansive living and entertaining area with kitchenette or wet bar and formal dining space with seating for up to eight.
All guestroom interiors fuse stylish and timeless designs and include a mini fridge, in-room safe, B Treated snack box, the latest high-tech offerings such as FreeB Wi-Fi, HD LED interactive flat-screen TVs, and electrical power hubs with USB, HDMI and international outlet plug ins. As part of B Hotels & Resorts'® B Humane program, all guestrooms come furnished with a plush green frog, that represents the native Florida Gopher Frog, a protected species.

B Nourished
In an evolving relationship with Jeffrey Chodorow of China Grill Management, B Resort's farmhouse chic signature restaurant offers an innovative culinary experience that redefines classic American barbeque. A cross-country selection of BBQ favorites, smoked meats, fish and poultry will be offered both from an a-la-carte menu and an original buffet presentation. Through a large window in the restaurant, diners can peek in on the action and watch as the culinary team smokes mouthwatering meats and rotisserie chicken.
Other food and beverage outlets at the resort include a poolside bar and grill and a grab 'n go cafe with an ice cream parlor.
