The expansion of Gran Destino Tower is a remarkable 500,000-sf, 15-story centerpiece at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort, designed to elevate the guest experience. This stunning addition features 545 upscale guest rooms (including 50 luxurious suites), a two-story lobby, state-of-the-art meeting rooms, and a signature 250-seat restaurant on the top floor offering tapas, steak, and seafood. Guests can enjoy expansive, panoramic views of all four Disney theme parks, enhancing the resort’s appeal.

The reimagined resort celebrates the bold spirit of renowned Spanish artist Salvador Dalí, blending Spanish, Mexican, and South American cultural influences with imaginative Disney design and modern comforts. Set against the serene backdrop of Lago Dorado, the resort features Villa Del Lago, a charming island accessed by three picturesque boardwalks, offering stunning views across the 14-acre lake.
