Champions Gate Travel and Things to Do Guide

A 1,500-acre, luxury master-planned resort complex, ChampionsGate is situated adjacent to the Interstate 4/532 interchange, making most ChampionsGate event venues less than a five-minute drive from Walt Disney World.

ChampionsGate is also located 6 miles from Kissimmee, 27 miles southwest of downtown Orlando, 28 miles from Orlando International Airport and 17 miles from the Orange County Convention Center.

The centerpiece elements of the project are the Omni Orlando Resort ChampionsGate and two Greg Norman-designed championship golf courses. Office space, apartments and condominiums are part of the ChampionsGate development.

Of the hotel and condo venues in ChampionsGate, the 720-room Omni Orlando Resort ChampionsGate has 128,000 square feet of meeting and event space highlighted by the 28,800 square-foot Osceola Ballroom with 20-foot high ceilings and 46 meeting rooms, including two executive boardrooms and eight hospitality suites. Amenities include two onsite golf courses, a lighted 9-hole course, an 850-foot lazy river, fitness center, and spa.
