Is the Penta Hotel still there?

Near the airport. I stayed at the Penta in 1993 and it was quite pretty. I am sure it's been renamed or turned into something else entirely...help me figure this out.

A few Orlando Sentinel news blurbs say that the Penta International Hotel was State Road 436 (aka Semoran Blvd) by the airport. It also says it was 10 stories tall. Based on those facts and my slightly questionable knowledge of MCO airport hotels, my guess is that the Penta is now the DoubleTree Orlando Airport.

That's the hotel with the large atrium where some guest room balconies are actually inside the building.

You're super!! That's the one. It was blue and the lobby tile is recognizable too. Thank you for the info.

Actually the old Penta Hotel at the Orlando Airport is now the Renaissance Hotel!
