Why Orlando pushes a squad across two corridors
Greater Orlando carries 458 active hotel and motel licences across Orange and Osceola counties. Those licences hold 123,490 filed rental units. The ten largest properties hold 21,341 of them, and eight of the ten sit inside the Walt Disney World or Universal Orlando resort areas. The capacity sits in two clusters.
The two tournament venues sit 17.5 miles apart. ESPN Wide World of Sports stands on South Victory Way in Kissimmee. The USTA National Campus stands on USTA Boulevard in Lake Nona.
How this ranking was built
Every unit count below comes from the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation, Division of Hotels and Restaurants, active licensure base for its District 4 extract. Each licensed establishment files a number of seats or rental units, and for a hotel licence that figure is the room inventory. Names and addresses are as filed.
The counts are self-reported and move when a licence is filed. A property that has just opened a tower can lag. Distances are straight-line measurements between the geocoded filed address and each venue. Read them as cluster comparisons.
The ten largest filed properties

When the event sits at Lake Nona
Lake Nona's own filings are small. Lake Nona Wave Hotel files 234 units, Aloft Orlando Lake Nona 205, the Courtyard and Residence Inn on Lake Nona Boulevard 204 between them, and SpringHill Suites 153.
The largest block inside the 32827 zip code is the Hyatt Regency Orlando International Airport at 446 units, 2.7 miles from the courts. Split the party across two Lake Nona hotels, or house the squad at the airport and shuttle.
What the filings leave open
State filings count rooms. A room may hold two double beds or one king, and that answer decides whether 15 rooms sleep 30 players or 22. Ask for the bed configuration per room type in writing.
The same gap covers shared team floors, the time breakfast opens against a first whistle, and bus or trailer parking. Put all four in the request, and confirm whether the quoted rate includes taxes and fees.
Stay-to-play decides which hotels you may use
Some youth and amateur events run a stay-to-play rule. Teams book inside the official block through the designated housing channel, and the organiser checks rosters against the hotels' rooming lists.
A typical sub-block runs about ten rooms across two nights per team. A 24-person party travelling four nights needs roughly double that.
Confirm the housing channel with the organiser before you request rooms.
What a block costs
Take 15 rooms over four nights: 60 room nights. Visit Orlando reports a 2025 destination average daily rate of $202.71 across an inventory of 132,685 rooms. That benchmark values the block at $12,162.60 of room revenue.
bookMyTeam publishes a group saving of 15 to 40 percent below the best available rate on a block of 10 rooms or more. The same block lands between $10,338.21 and $7,297.56, or $243 to $345 per traveller across 30 people. The average daily rate is a benchmark and the saving band is the platform's published figure.
One request reaches 50 or more hotels per destination. Hotels answer within 24 to 72 hours. The planner pays no fee. Florida is one of the states where state travel law restricts group bookings under the platform's own notice, so ask how that applies to your dates.
Start with the sports team hotel booking page, run the numbers on the group rate calculator, and send one team-rate request across both corridors. The city directory lists the filed inventory nearby, and how it works sets out the block mechanics.
