Garden Suites at BWI

[disneybride16]

Does anyone know where the garden suites are located at the BWI? Also is concierge service included with the garden suites? Thanks lots.

The garden suites are located in the back of the inn facing the quiet pool. Concierge service is included with the suites. The only downfall for some people is you need to exit your suite and reenter the inn and take the elevator to the 4tth floor for the lounge. The suites have an outside entrance. They are beautiful and so nice to stay in. I love the location of them. It is very quiet and private

Can you see any of epcot from the gaden suites? Can you see illuminations?

No you can not see Epcot and you might be able to see Illuminations if you leave your Suite and go sit by the quiet pool. But due to the building it would only be the really high fireworks.

The Inn has an Interior courtyard. The suites overlook this courtyard and the quiet pool. As stated you have to go out of your suite, through your beautiful small front garden, across the courtyard into the main building to access the concierge lounge on the 4th floor and all other areas of the building. This to me is a major drawback especially in bad weather.

I have included a map that will show better what I am talking about. The area in dark blue on the left of the map is the Inn. The garden suites are located on the back side of the shops on the boardwalk that include ESPN, the Bakery, and Flying Fish. Basically A-F on the map. You will see the quiet pool to the left of the map.

Also I have included some photos from AllEars that show the garden suites. They are photos 25-35 and 25 will show you the front of the suites.

You can scroll ahead to the number 25 or watch the entire slide show.

Hope this helps. They are very quaint but the location and the cost would encourage me to get a deluxe concierge room in the Inn near the lounge with a view.

The garden suites are wonderful for a couple. We love the size of the room and the huge shower and seperate jacuzzi tub. We never had a problem with having a longer walk to the lounge. Three of the garden suites have balconies and the rest have patios. I prefer the balcony room.

You do have a view of the Epcot fireworks from the concierge lounge which, if you have booked a garden suite, you have access to. They make a point of inviting you for cordials and such during the fireworks.

We had originally booked a garden suite for 4 adults but due to a snafu on the website which listed the garden suites as having two bedrooms, they upgraded us to a two bdroom suite just steps for the concierge lounge...lovely. We were right above the GSs and the quiet pool...also lovely. While the garden suites looked wonderful, we were very glad to be so near the CL particularly in the mornings when we wanted that lovely fresh cup of coffee with real cream....

Do you know where I can find pictures of the Garden Suite rooms with the balcony? thanks in advance

Ahhhhhhhh- if you go to the Disney Echo forum, there is a concierge thread, and several of the girls there have photos of the Garden Suites with balconies, specifically, I believe Bambi Tamby has some I am sure they would share with you.
Here's a link to the thread
