First Concept-Arts for "The Cove" , the New Hotel Joining Walt Disney World's Swan and Dolphin Resorts



Marriott International, which owns and operates the Swan and Dolphin hotels, revealed Tuesday concept-arts for The Cove, the new hotel joining Walt Disney World's Swan and Dolphin resorts. The Cove is expected to open in less than two years.


The Cove will be a tower hotel addition to the Swan and Dolphin, and it will include 349 rooms. When completed, Marriott will have a total of 2,600 rooms in the Swan, Dolphin and Cove hotels. The hotel will be built across the street from the Swan and Dolphin on Epcot Resorts Boulevard, near the Fantasia Garden miniature golf course.


The Cove will be group-oriented and event- or convention-focused, giving companies that may have outgrown the current property a reason to come back. “Demand has really been off the charts. We’re going to do about 5 percent more in occupancy this year than we’ve ever done before”.



The Cove will include a rooftop venue for weddings or rental to VIP groups. Like the Swan and Dolphin hotels, The Cove will have walking access to Epcot, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the Boardwalk, Yacht and Beach resorts.



The Cove is the latest addition to a changing skyline at Walt Disney World. Disney’s Hollywood Studios debuted Toy Story Land this summer and Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is set to debut in 2019. The park also has at least three other Disney-owned hotels coming in the next few years, including an immersive Star Wars-themed resort, a nature-themed resort, a major expansion to Disney's Coronado Resort and the new Riviera Resort.

  1. Every new hotel in WDW has less theme and less story to it. Every hotel they announce looks more "generic". I do not like this, where is the time of REAL theming to the Disney hotels, which makes you want to stay there? Even the Swan and Dolphin look more themed than this...

    It looks very good for a random "city hotel", but not for a Disney hotel (although I understand Swan and Dolphin are different from the rest).
