If you need a bed for Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 January 2027, we found one hotel with both nights: Homewood Suites by Hilton, a 21-minute walk from the Orange County Convention Center's West Building. We read the booking screens of 15 hotels on 11 and 12 November, one night at a time, and the other 14 had no room on at least one of the two nights.

The PGA Show runs 26 to 29 January. Tuesday is Demo Day, out at a golf course rather than the convention center. The show floor is in the West Concourse: Wednesday 27 and Thursday 28 January 8:30 AM to 6:00 PM, Friday 29 January 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM. FETC is at the convention center on the same four dates. Its pages name no building, so we can't say which halls it fills.

Booking outside the housing block

The show's travel page gave 1 December 2026 as the reservation discount deadline when we read it on 11 November. Connections Housing is the housing provider, and booking through it takes no advance deposit. The same page says "Official 2027 PGA Show hotels will not honor direct reservations," without naming any of them, and warns that "Reservations made through any other agency will be at your own risk."

The Best Available Rate terms at Rosen Plaza Hotel and Rosen Centre Hotel, which we read on 21 October, say a reservation "determined to be booked outside of the official housing block attending a contracted group, meeting, convention, or event will be canceled or increased to the appropriate group rate upon arrival at the hotel's sole discretion." We don't know whether either hotel applies that to a PGA Show guest. Both had rooms on Monday 25 and Thursday 28. If you book either night, or a room appears for the 26th or 27th, read those terms first.

Rooms for Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 January

Searches were for two adults, and none of them shows what the housing block holds. Monday 25 was open at every hotel we read except the Hyatt, which we didn't check that night. Walk minutes are street routes to the West Building, from the routing we ran on 21 October for our MEGACON Orlando guide.

Homewood Suites showed a one-night price on every January arrival. The I-Ride Trolley stops at the hotel. Hilton lists self-parking at $15/day with in-and-out, though another Hilton listing shows $10/day, and neither says whether tax is on top. There's no valet, and no resort fee showed on Hilton's booking screen.

Five hotels had a room on only one of the two nights. Hyatt Regency Orlando (12 minutes) showed a room on Tuesday, with just two rate options. Wednesday's search came back "Unfortunately, this hotel is not available during those dates." SpringHill Suites by Marriott (20 minutes) and Renaissance Orlando at SeaWorld (39 minutes) both marked Wednesday "Not available for check-in." Four Points by Sheraton Orlando Convention Center (23 minutes) and DoubleTree by Hilton Orlando Theme Park Resort (24 minutes) had no room on Tuesday instead. Four Points is the only one of the five with free self-parking for guests and no resort fee on Marriott's booking screen. All five had a room on Thursday 28, and the Hyatt showed 16 rate lines that night.

The other nine had neither night, and that includes the two nearest hotels here, Rosen Plaza (9 minutes) and Rosen Centre (10 minutes). Five of the nine did have Thursday 28: the two Rosens, Hilton Orlando, Hampton Inn Orlando International Drive/Convention Center and Hilton Garden Inn Orlando at SeaWorld. Rosen Centre's two room types showed only the Advance Purchase Rate (Non-Refundable) that night. Hilton's grids for the other three read Sold out on the 26th and 27th. Hilton's page for the Hampton puts it "a half-mile from Orange County Convention Center," which is the North/South side. The West Building is farther.

The other four had nothing from Tuesday to Thursday. Residence Inn by Marriott marked all three nights "Not available for check-in," and Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando International Drive Convention Center, Las Palmeras, a Hilton Grand Vacations Club and Tru by Hilton Orlando Convention Center Area read Sold out. Tru describes itself as "at the West entrance to the Orange County Convention Center" on Westwood Boulevard, but our street route to the West Building's address point still takes 24 minutes.

We didn't read the January booking screens at five hotels, so check them yourself before you count on a room. Days Inn by Wyndham is a 15-minute walk and Rosen Inn at Pointe Orlando 20 minutes. The two Extended Stay America hotels on Westwood Boulevard, the one at 6443 and the Select at 6451, are 23 minutes each. WoodSpring Suites Orlando I-4 & Convention Center is 3.5 miles on foot to the West Building, across I-4. That's 76 minutes, by far the longest walk here. None of these five has a bridge to the convention center. More hotels on the same stretch are on our International Drive page.

Bridges into the West Building

The Rosen Plaza Skywalk lands in the West Building near Hall F, the convention center says, and the Rosen Centre Skywalk near Hall A. The Hyatt Regency's International Drive Pedestrian Bridge comes in near West Hall C, Level 2. None of the three makes you cross a street. On the show-floor days, education sessions are in the West Hall E/F corridor meeting rooms. The show's pages put the exhibits somewhere on the West Concourse and name no halls.

The Hilton Pedestrian Bridge from Hilton Orlando ends at the South Concourse of the North/South Building, not the West. From there you can cross the Oversight Pedestrian Bridge, which links the North/South Building, the Hyatt Regency and the West Building, or walk International Drive.

What parking and fees add

Both Rosens say they charge no resort fee, and the Plaza posts the lowest self-parking rate of any hotel with a bridge: $29/night, with valet at $39/night. The Centre charges $40 to self-park and $53 for valet, per night. The Hyatt Regency adds a resort fee of $48/night per room, subject to change, and self-parking runs from $45/night. Its Park & Stay rate includes free self-parking for one vehicle, but it isn't valid with group, convention or other special rates. Hilton Orlando's resort charge is $47/night, with self-parking at $38/night and valet at $50/night. Tax goes on top of every Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Hilton Orlando figure in this paragraph.

Away from the convention center walkways, Las Palmeras and DoubleTree each add $25 a night plus tax: a resort charge in Hilton's displayed rate at Las Palmeras, a resort fee at DoubleTree. Las Palmeras charges $32/day plus tax to self-park and $40/day plus tax for valet. DoubleTree is $38/night to self-park, with in-and-out. Renaissance costs more on both counts. Marriott's calendar footer there read "All rates include 48 USD per night Resort Fee," and the fee is taxed on top, and self-parking is $44/night, valet $56.

None of the other Hilton and Marriott hotels here showed a resort fee on its booking screen when we checked on 21 October, Homewood and Four Points included. Four Points parks free. At the others, parking is the extra. The Hampton charges $10/night plus tax, with in-and-out, and Hilton Garden Inn $15/day. Embassy Suites is $23/day with in-and-out. Marriott lists SpringHill at $20/day and Residence Inn at $20/day or $100/week. Tru allows one vehicle per room, at $21/night.

None of the five hotels whose January screens we didn't read charges a resort fee. At the Rosen Inn, self-parking is $10/night per vehicle, tax included. WoodSpring parks free. Wyndham's overview page calls parking at the Days Inn free, though small print on its rates page says charges may apply. The Extended Stay Americas are less certain. Listings say the Select parks free, which we haven't confirmed with the hotel, and ESA's own page for the 6443 hotel says free in one place and paid in another, so call before you drive.

The I-Ride Trolley runs daily 8:00 AM to 10:30 PM for a $2 single fare, and the convention center says its stops are in front of both the West and North/South buildings on International Drive. Parking at the center was $20 per vehicle per entry on the show's 2026 page, and the convention center's own published rate was $22 plus tax when we read it on 21 October, a rate it says can rise by event. We haven't seen the show's 2027 figure.

Demo Day is a drive

Demo Day is Tuesday 26 January, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, at Orange County National Golf Center, 16301 Phil Ritson Way, Winter Garden, rain or shine. Early access starts at 9:00 AM for PGA of America Golf Professionals with their staff and guests, LPGA Professionals, VIP Buyer Club Members and VIP Media. Registered attendees get in from 12:00 PM. Education that day runs 9:30 AM to 2:15 PM at the course.

Every hotel here is 30 to 35 minutes away by car, by routing estimates from 11 November with no traffic in them. A bridge to the convention center buys no head start: the Rosen Plaza is 34 minutes, the Rosen Centre 32, the Hyatt 33 and Homewood 35. Hilton Garden Inn and Renaissance at SeaWorld are closest, at 30 minutes and 16.9 miles. SpringHill and Residence Inn are farthest at 23.5 miles, and still only 35 and 34 minutes.

The show's shuttle page still shows the 2026 schedule, so 2027 shuttle routes and times aren't posted. We found no 2027 parking rules for the course either. The 2026 page told rideshare riders to drop off at Orange County National.
