Bohemian Hotel Celebration
700 Bloom St., Celebration, Florida 34747, USA
Why We Like It
If you like the escape factor of surrounding yourself with make-believe, staying at the Bohemian in Celebration is much like living at the Magic Kingdom, what with the “Main Street” architecture and eclectic design. The lake-side terrace offers a peaceful escape, along with glimpses of Florida wildlife.
Fodor's Expert Review
Like everything in the Disney-created town of Celebration, this lakeside boutique hotel in the middle of the village borrows from the architecture and style of the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries. Art is at the heart of the hotel’s design, and eclecticism rules. Even though it's less than a mile from the U.S. 192 tourist strip in Kissimmee, the hotel has serene surroundings, and the restaurants, shops, cinema, and more in downtown Celebration are a pleasant stroll away.
You Should Know If you are not a Disney theme park fan, you are in the wrong place. The village vibe is definitely one that requires you to believe in magic, or at least be willing to suspend any knowledge of the world outside. If the charm begins to cloy, just a few minutes’ drive away lies the raucous and rowdy entertainment area called Old Town Kissimmee. Don’t confuse this with the real Downtown Kissimmee, a few miles to the southeast, which is actually an interesting and authentic slice of Old Florida.

What's Nearby
Getting Around
Centrally located in the Disney-planned village of Celebration, the hotel offers relaxing strolls around the lake and through the streets, taking in the manufactured charm of idealized American architectural heritage. Around town, rental bikes and golf carts make touring the village itself a breeze. Public transport is scarce, and while the hotel offers free shuttles to Celebration Golf, there are no shuttles to or from Disney. Your best bet is to rent a car or opt for an Uber or a taxi.
Restaurants
In the center of the downtown area you’ll find one quite authentic, and very popular, Florida landmark: Columbia Restaurant. One of seven Columbia restaurants in the state, all still owned by the original family who emigrated from Cuba to Tampa in the early part of the 20th century, this version offers all the Cuban food and ambiance you would want. The house Mojito is the perfect antidote to a hot summer day.
Bars
The Celebration Town Tavern offers a wide selection of beers, and big-screen TVs if you have to check on your favorite team. Imperium Food & Wine's menu includes international wine pairings; 360 American Bistro's menu reflects the area's diversity of cultures in food and drink.
