The 23 acre hotel, which opened in November 1983, is among seven hotels that make up the Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels. The Downtown Disney Resort Area Hotels are located on the property of the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, but are not owned by Disney.

The Hilton is primarily a business/convention hotel and has recently expanded to 75,000 square feet (7,000 m2) of meeting/banquet space. However, the hotel offers a landscaped outdoor pool area, a fitness center, game room, several shops and seven restaurants.

Every year this hotel hosts the Florida DECA State Career Development Conference.

The Hilton in the Walt Disney World Resort is owned by Tishman Hotel Corporation, however, it is managed by the Hilton Hotels Corporation.

[edit] Renovation

The Hilton completed a major overhaul in 2001 but has made significant upgrades since, including replacing the carpeting within its interior corridors, upgrading the Executive Towers Lounge and rooms, overhauling and replacing several restaurants and adding to its convention/banquet space by building an addition across from the pool.
