As we start our coverage of hotels off-site but nearby Universal Orlando, we made our way to Holiday Inn and Suites. The official title of this hotel is the Holiday Inn and Suites Across From Univeral Orlando. As the name indicates, this hotel resides within a reasonable walking distance. This Holiday Inn classifies as a small to mid-sized hotel with 390 rooms. The hotel has a modern look and feel. Also, the hotel has a unique feature, being connected via an indoor walkway to a TGI Friday. We’ll talk about that more soon. In addition, this Holiday Inn and Suites offers 13,000 square feet of event space for around 400 eventgoers.  With it being Fat Tuesday, we cannot go without talking about a classic. The French settlers brought beignets with them as they migrated to the eastern coast of Canada to an area called Acadia in the 17th century. Unfortunately, many Acadians were forced to migrate as the British came to control their area. As a result, many Arcadians settled in Louisiana. Their descendants became known as Cajuns. With their migration to the southern USA, they brought their culture, language,and cuisine. The mighty beignet continues to display that cuisine. During this time of year, you can find beignets in many places. Today, we are going to decide which beignets are better between the 2022 Universal Studios Florida Mardi Gras version in comparison to Disney’s Port Orleans Resort version.  We're sure we've found the perfect off-property dining spot for you. Executive Chef David Roldan and the amazing culinary team at American Kitchen located in B Resort and Spa have created a spectacular menu for a romantic dinner this year. Welcome to our brand new series as we talk about off-property hotels. Our first hotel is the B Resort and Spa. B Resort and Spa is about a twenty(20) minute drive from Universal Orlando Resort. The Resort features a pool, fitness center, bar, and valet service. We'll talk more about the Resort and its amenities in the future, but today we're talking about American Kitchen Bar and Grill.  |
