Venue Detail
The Eo Inn
About this venue
The Eo Inn in Orlando is a charming, historic, and intimate boutique getaway that offers a peaceful LGBTQ+-friendly oasis right on the edge of the city’s vibrant center.This hidden gem is housed in a beautifully restored 1920s building in the trendy Thornton Park neighborhood, sitting directly on the northeastern edge of Lake Eola Park. With only 21 uniquely decorated rooms, the property delivers a highly private, personal feel that stands out sharply against Orlando's massive, impersonal theme park resorts. Guests can enjoy a cozy rooftop terrace, rooms with private balconies overlooking the tree line, and immediate walking distance to popular neighborhood dining, cafes, and the local downtown nightlife. It operates as the perfect, relaxed basecamp for queer travelers wanting to experience authentic, local Orlando culture.
