The Equestrian Hotel

The Equestrian Hotel at the World Equestrian Center - Ocala features 248 stylishly-appointed rooms and suites, many which showcase stunning views of the facility's Grand Arena. The regal lobby has 20-foot ceilings, Swarovski crystal chandeliers and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Mahogany and Italian porcelain run throughout the entire first floor, while worldly inspirations are found beyond the lobby and adorn each of the hotel’s five stories. Each floor has a large, elevator lobby featuring an art gallery which showcases the work of local artists. The classic design for this luxury hotel is European inspired with subtle equestrian nods running throughout. The entire hotel has been designed with riders in mind and features unique built-in amenities including a fine dining restaurant, gastro pub and authentic French patisserie on the first floor, as well as a rare toy shoppe. Other amenities include a state-of-the-art fitness center, brightly-lit retail spaces, outdoor swimming pool, and 7,000 square-foot full-service salon and resort spa.
