ette hotel
Kissimmee, Florida, United States · Independent · Core Luxury
ette hotel, a 126-room boutique on Sherberth Road in Kissimmee, holds a MICHELIN One Key and a 2025 AAA Four Diamond, a rare pairing this close to Walt Disney World. Privately owned by Alex and Sheila Ekbatani, it reads more Miami than Magic Kingdom: Italian marble in the lobby, rooms kept modern and minimal, and rooftop Lipa plus Salt & The Cellar by Michelin-starred chef Akira Back.
- 126 rooms

About ette hotel
- Michelin-starred chef Akira Back oversees rooftop Lipa and Salt & The Cellar, the flagship restaurant and cocktail bar.
- Privately owned by Alex and Sheila Ekbatani rather than a hotel chain; the lowercase ette name is the guest-facing identity.
- One of a handful of MICHELIN Key hotels in the Orlando area, and the one sitting minutes from Walt Disney World rather than at Grande Lakes or Lake Nona.
- 25 miles from Orlando International Airport.
The setting
5 miles from Disney's Hollywood Studios. 16 miles from Universal Orlando Resort.
