The Celeste Hotel – Boutique Hotel for Outdoor Activities in Orlando

With its subtropical climate and ample amounts of peerless Sunshine State sunshine, Orlando, Florida is a year-round destination for outdoor activities. And upscale Tribute Portfolio accommodations here at The Celeste Hotel set you up in style for pursuing that fresh-air fun: from thrill rides and boating to contemplate nature walks and wildlife-watching.

Here’s a very incomplete list of some of the outdoor activities you can enjoy as a guest of our astronomically themed hotel on the University of Central Florida campus.

Faster-Paced Outdoor Adventures & Thrills

Obviously the Orlando area’s world-famous for its theme parks, not least the Walt Disney World Resort and iconic Gatorland. You’re spoiled for choices when it comes to adrenaline-pumping outdoor thrills as a Celeste guest, with everything from the ATV, ARGO, and dune-buggy trails of Revolution Adventures to multiple treetop adventure courses awaiting you in the vicinity.

You can even indulge in a truly classic Florida-style adventure via an airboat tour. You’ve got multiple options on that front within day-tripping distance, including Wild Willys Airboat Tours and Boggy Creek Airboat Adventures down in the Kissimmee area (the historical headwaters zone of the Everglades ecosystem).

The Winter Park Chain of Lakes

Just a hop, skip, and a jump from The Celeste, you can cruise the beautiful Winter Park Chain of Lakes and its linking canals on a boat tour, admiring handsome architecture, lush gardens, and birdlife.

Birding & Wildlife-Watching

Speaking of birdlife, Central Florida’s one of the best places in the country for eyeballing avian beauties. You’ve got multiple nearby sites along the Great Florida Birding Trail to check out during a Celeste Hotel stay, not least the Orlando Wetlands Park, host to everything from purple gallinules to snail kites and crested caracaras.

That very park is also a fruitful place to look for American alligators, among Florida’s best-known wildlife inhabitants. Another animal celebrity—the West Indian manatee—can be often seen on a daytrip up to Blue Spring State Park.

And So Much More…

World-class angling of both the freshwater and (with a little longer driving time) saltwater varieties awaits you in Greater Orlando’s big backyard. Throw in a stacked array of golf courses, year-round road biking, and more, and you’re off to the races when it comes to outdoor enjoyment on a Celeste Hotel stay. Join us here on the UCF campus in East Orlando for adventures, recreation, and sightseeing under that Central Florida sun!
