Across from the Downtown Disney Marketplace, you will find the Old English-designed Grosvenor Resort. As an official hotel of Walt Disney World, the Grosvenor Resort offers some of the amenities that guests of the Walt Disney World Resorts enjoy. Situated on 13 acres, the Grosvenor Resort has a 19-story peach stucco tower, flanked by two garden wings. The spacious and comfortable lobby features an elegant British and Colonial interior design.

Guests of the Grosvenor Resort will receive a Downtown Disney Value Discount Passport. This passport will allow them to use the Disney transportation system and gives discounts to some restaurants and attractions in the area.

Complimentary transportation to all 4 Walt Disney World Resort theme parks, 2 of the 3 water parks (Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach) and Pleasure Island is offered to guests of the Grosvenor Resort. Pick-ups for the Theme Parks are scheduled every 30 minutes from 1 hour prior to park opening until 2 hours after the parks close. Buses to the Magic Kingdom will drop guests off at the Ticket & Transportation Center and you can ride Disney's fun monorail system in the rest of the way to the Magic Kingdom. For transportation to the water parks, check with the Guest Services desk for the scheduled morning and afternoon pick-ups. Pleasure Island bus transportation is offered every 30 minutes from 6 p.m. until 3 a.m. Downtown Disney Marketplace and Downtown Disney West Side are only a 5-10 minute walk. Here is a tip for guests who don't want to wait for the Downtown Disney Hotel shuttle when returning from the parks. Take a Downtown Disney Marketplace/West Side bus and walk across the street back to the Resort.

The Grosvenor Resort boasts an unusual pool that is in the shape of a Dutch windmill. As part of the Grosvenor Aquatic Center, this is one of the two pools found here. The pools are heated in the off-season to make it comfortable year-round for guests. Restrooms and towels are available poolside
