SpringHill Suites
by Marriott Lakeland
Trade-off a bit of convenience of an adorable walkable downtown for a little more space within your room. SpringHill Suites is located just outside of Downtown Lakeland and is a short 5-minute drive from all of the fun. The bride and groom have planned all of the weekends’ events to be walkable and this location is just outside of those limits. Please utilize ride-share services if you are staying here.

Transportation Options
Airports
If you are flying into town to join A&E on their big day, multiple airports are available to you depending on your travel preference, airline of choice, and any other activities you may have planned while in Florida. Each is relatively similar in travel time to the centrally located city of Lakeland.
Tampa Bay Area Airports (West Coast Florida)
Ever so slightly closer than the Orlando options, after grabbing a rental car (welcome to Florida!), your 45-mile drive will range from an hour to two hours depending on the day of the week and time of day you’re driving.
- Tampa International Airport (TIA) – Recently Voted North America’s #1 Large Airport!
- St. Petersburg Clearwater International (PIE)
Orlando Area Airports (Central Florida)
Land of the mouse and the future spouse(s)…stretching a bit for the rhyme there…Orlando is just under 60 miles from Lakeland and will average a similarly unpredictable hour to two-hour drive depending on the day of the eek and time of day you’re driving.
- Orlando Internation Airport (MCO) – Orlando’s Major Airport
- Orlando Sanford Internation Airport (SFB)
Rail – Sooooo Many Kudos if You’re Boss Enough to Roll Up on Rail!
From points south of Lakeland, starting in either Tampa or Miami all of the way to points spanning north to Penn Station, the Silver Star is the way to roll on rail!
Located on the north shore of Lake Mirror and designed to complement the promenade, the depot features soaring arched windows, Art Deco-inspired lamps, and high-backed benches.
The Lakeland station is represented by two station codes used for booking travel: LAK and LKL. These codes do not represent separate stations; there is only one Amtrak station in Lakeland, FL.
- Use the LKL code to book travel between Lakeland and all points south.
- Use the LAK code to book travel between Lakeland and all points north.
