Grand Bohemian Orlando now operates as Hotel Beauden, remaining part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection under the same ownership, leadership and service team. The name change follows an $18 million renovation of all 248 guestrooms and public spaces, completed in 2024.
“Hotel Beauden reflects where Downtown Orlando is today—creative, confident and constantly evolving,” said Benjamin McCarney, General Manager of Hotel Beauden, in a press statement. “With this new chapter, our hotel will be even more rooted in the culture and energy of our city with an identity that celebrates this connection in a new way. And while our name is changing, guests, neighbors and partners can expect the same team, the same commitment to service and welcoming experience we have been proud to deliver for 25 years.”

The name references Orlando’s designation as “The City Beautiful,” and the rebrand carries into the hotel’s food and beverage program. The former Boheme and Bosendorfer Lounge has been replaced by Libra, led by Executive Chef Francisco Sillero, with a menu drawing on Hispanic, Floridian and Asian influences that includes smoked crab dip with fried garlic gremolata and crispy wonton, pork belly with soy glaze, pickled carrots and toasted cashew and seared salmon with local grains, poblano crema and roasted tomatillo chow chow. The hotel’s Sunday Jazz Brunch continues from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. with unlimited mimosas, live entertainment, a cinnamon roll cart, a carving station, an omelet station and a dessert wall.
Design updates accompanying the new name include a lobby mural by American artist Amy Rader titled “The Beautiful Becoming,” referencing Lake Eola, the city’s swans and the hotel’s gold geometric pattern, along with a redesigned Rotunda featuring new banquette seating, soft lighting, tea-height tables with stools and acoustic drapery. This fall, the Rotunda will also gain a Steinway grand piano as part of a new partnership with the Steinway Society of Central Florida, which works to make music accessible to children in the community. The hotel is located near the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Kia Center, Church Street, City Hall and Lake Eola Park.
