Tl;dr – A popular upscale resort less than 3 miles from Disney World is now fully integrated into Hilton’s portfolio, as Free Night Certificates can now be used to book rooms at the property.
Earlier this year, we learned that Evermore Orlando would join the Hilton Honors portfolio. If you’re unfamiliar with it, Evermore Orlando is a $1.5 billion luxury development about a 15-minute drive from the gates to Disney World (the sprawling campuses abut one another). With a major tip of the hat to Mark Ostermann of Travel on Points, there’s now a major update for Hilton Honors members seeking to book this property. You can now use Free Night Certificates to reserve your stay.
The Evermore Orlando, which opened on January 1, 2024, to great fanfare, caters to large groups. The property is ‘uniquely designed for big families and gatherings, ‘ and guests can choose from a number of large-format room types—flats, Villas, and Houses—with up to 11 bedrooms. All accommodations offer fully equipped kitchens, en-suite bathrooms, 24-hour security, and 24-hour guest services. Notably, the Conrad Orlando is also located on the Evermore Orlando campus and guests of the Conrad can use many of the Evermore’s amenities.
Speaking of those amenities. The Evermore Orlando is quite the production.
The property boasts 8 acres of crystal clear water (spread over many pool types), two golf courses, 20 acres of beach – yes – in Central Orlando – 12 dining options, and a full-service spa. You can stand up kayak and paddleboard everywhere at this resort. In fact, it might be that if you aren’t SUP’ing, you’ll get put in time-out.
Despite being well-reviewed, the Evermore Orlando isn’t my cup of tea . I’m not a fan of 1) Disney World, 2) Florida, 3) Vacation Rental-type accommodations, 4) and don’t have kids, but obviously, that’s ok – it’s just not a property for me. Millions of other folks will be happy to have an upscale resort option bookable on points/certs next door to the Magic Kingdom.
Rates at the property fluctuate throughout the year, but I searched a random date in May, the week before Memorial Day weekend, and saw a 2-bedroom Villa priced at $723 per night.
To use your Free Night Certificate, you’ll want to search for points rates and identify rooms priced at the base redemption amount of 135,000 points. As long as you see availability for rooms at 135,000 points per night, you should be able to use your Free Night Certificates.
