ORLANDO, Fla. - Surrounded on three sides by Walt Disney World® Resort, Bonnet Creek - a 482-acre vacation destination comprised of the 1,001-room Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek and 498-room Waldorf Astoria® Orlando - is poised to become the region's new culinary capital. Hotel guests, travelers visiting the area and Orlando residents have the opportunity to experience Bonnet Creek's collection of restaurants and bars, including La Luce®, featuring Northern California's acclaimed chef and restaurateur Donna Scala.
"We delighted to be a part of the Orlando restaurant scene and attracting epicureans from all over the world," state Peter Kacheris, managing director of Bonnet Creek. "We are working with local producers and installing a dedicated herb garden to enable the freshest ingredients to be made available for all of our outlets."
Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek
While Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek is one of the largest properties in the company's portfolio, each restaurant and bar offers a distinctive experience. Offerings include:
- La Luce® is the hotel's signature restaurant created by Chef Donna Scala. It is a modern Italian country kitchen which will serve dinner nightly and feature thin crust pizzas, family style pastas, Mediterranean-inspired drinks and a Trattoria-style wine program.
- Harvest® Bistro is a family-friendly, high-energy American bistro offering a "Farm to Fork" menu featuring seasonal and local products. Kids 12 and under eat free for breakfast and dinner and can also enjoy creatively-presented menu selections. All guests can delight in the bistro's fresh-pressed apple cider, just-squeezed local citrus concoctions and flavored lemonades. Another highlight are retro comfort desserts designed to share.
- Beech® is a casual poolside eatery open mid-morning through sunset and features hamburgers, salads and fun appetizers to share. Guests can also enjoy delectable frozen beverages and a shaved ice cart, complete with fresh fruit popsicles and shakes.

- Zeta Bar® is a sophisticated lounge featuring a chic beverage menu and bottle service.
The Waldorf Astoria Orlando
The Waldorf Astoria Orlando is the first Waldorf Astoria to be built outside of New York City. It brings the legendary hotel's four acclaimed restaurants and bars to the area and introduces two new concepts with the introduction of the first Waldorf Astoria Golf Club and resort-style pool. Offerings include:
- Peacock Alley® is a restaurant, bar and private dining venue open mid-day through late night.

It features a small plate menu, aperitifs, creative cocktails and live music.

The Bull & Bear is open for dinner and presents a wine list featuring applauded boutique vintners.
- Oscar's® is a stylish and contemporary American brasserie offering casual dining for breakfast, dinner and weekend brunch. Comforting dishes which made the original Waldorf Astoria famous such as Veal Oscar and Eggs Benedict are reinterpreted with a contemporary flair. The bar offers appetizers to complement its selection of craft and micro-brews and wines served by the glass.
- Sir Harry's Lounge is the quintessential lounge open each afternoon through late night, providing a subdued yet inviting atmosphere for conversation. It features an "American Dim Sum" style menu, modernized, pre-prohibition beverage menu and exclusive, ultra premium label selections.
