The Swan Reserve is a new hotel that is opening soon on Disney World Property!
Swan Reserve
It is part of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin Complex, which means it’s really close to EPCOT and Hollywood Studios, as well as other hotels like Disney’s BoardWalk Inn and Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club Resorts. The Swan Reserve was supposed to open earlier this year, but after a series of delays, it’s now supposed to open this month. With it getting so close to being complete, we got to go INSIDE the new hotel and take a look around, so come with us as we tour the Swan Reserve!
The Swan Reserve is a boutique hotel that is part of the Marriott Bonvoy family, meaning it is not owned by Disney World, but it is on Disney World property. Like the Swan and Dolphin hotels, this is considered a Deluxe hotel by Disney, so guests will have access to all of the perks that Deluxe resorts get, like access to Extended Evening Hours!
Let’s go inside!
The lobby of the new hotel is very grand, with gold accents everywhere!

The check-in area follows the same style, with high ceiling and wood details.
Who is ready to check in?!
Now, let’s go up these massive stairs (okay, we’re definitely taking the escalator) and check out what’s on the second level!
This place is HUGE
On the second level, you’ll find a large bar and lounge area.
That ceiling is so cool!
The curved bar has a TON of room for you to hang out with a nice, refreshing drink.
Bar area
The lounge has a lot of seating, too, with mostly neutral furniture, but a vibrant blue-patterned carpet and pops of green from the many plants!
Lounge area
Moving past the bar, you’ll find more seating that’s a bit more intimate thanks to these wooden dividers.
These are fun!
Also on the second level is the space for the Mediterranean restaurant coming to the hotel.
How pretty!
The bright blue tones continue into this area.

There is also some booth seating inside (well, half-booth seating!).

A marketplace area is on the second level as well.

It looks like this is where you’ll be able to find snacks and coffee at the hotel.

We then found the pool, which is also located up here!
The water looks so inviting!
The pool has some water features and covered cabana areas.
Time for a swim
Okay, now let’s move on to the ROOMS! We took the elevator up to look at some guest rooms, which are on the higher floors of the hotel.
A lot of patterns going on here!
Ready for a peek inside?
Let’s go!
First, we have the Junior Suite. This room has a king bed and a sofa bed.
Good amount of space
There are some very fancy closets, which have gold accents and are bright red/orange inside!
Blue closet?!
There is also a small seating area.
Junior Suite
The art in this room shows people underwater in a pool and is framed on either side by wooden detailing.
Interesting…
And, the nightstands are pretty fancy, too!
These are snazzy
In the bathroom, you’ll find one sink in a small area…
That wallpaper is just so fun
…that also holds the toilet.

Then, through another door, you’ll find another sink!
We’re so grateful for counter space
And, the walk-in shower.
Nice and big shower
Now, let’s check out the Family Suite! This one has a nice sitting area with a couch and TV.

It also has a dining area with a table for 4 and another TV.

This suite has two queen beds in the bedroom.

It comes with amenities like a coffee maker (necessary).
Coffee pleaseeee
And, the bathroom in this suite has a bathtub as well.
Tub and shower
Every room has floor-to-ceiling windows that give you great views of EPCOT, Hollywood Studios, and you can even see Magic Kingdom from a few rooms!
Great views!
There is a lot of great natural light that comes in thanks to those big windows.
It’s bright in here!
Now, let’s go to the top of the hotel to see an awesome event space!
WOW!!
This is the event space at the top of Swan Reserve.
Gorgeous
It has some incredible lighting fixtures…
So cool!
…as well as AMAZING views!
Beautiful!
Seriously, check out those views!
Swan and Dolphin AND EPCOT
You can see Hollywood Studios from up here as well.
Tower of Terror!
The windows surround you to make you feel like you’re in the clouds!
We want to go to an event up here!
One more look, cause it’s just so pretty.

Unfortunately, “Later this month” means October 28. So…yes…technically later this month. We recently learned this when we were refunded our deposit for our October 24 Check-in. As Maxwell Smart would have said…”Missed it by THAT much.”
Has merchandise delivery service to the hotel rooms resumed and are the Dolphin/Swan properties part of that as well? Thank you.
Honestly I am booked for it and hopefully my sister can change it. I thought we were staying at the iconic Swan, with beautiful fountains and landscaping. I didn’t know what that building was when I saw it on the map, and now that I know, disappointing is how I see it. It’s just not my taste.
It ruins the view from my home dvc resort at boardwalk. Futuristic set in turn of the century seaside? Nope. I have a name for this tower that I can’t type here
Fresh, modern, bright…uh-yes please! Thank you so much for sharing these amazing jaw-dropping views (floor to ceiling) and making me WISH I was there RIGHT now! Omg. Getting Disney fever. It’s back and I need a cure.
