AC Sky Bar

This is a Marriott rooftop lounge doing exactly what a Marriott rooftop lounge does: smart-casual crowd, Spanish-leaning small plates, cocktails with theatrical dry-ice flourishes, and a view that carries the room. You're paying hotel-bar prices for altitude and a terrace, so come for the sunset and the occasion — a date, a visitor you want to impress, a birthday toast — not for a dive-bar deal or a dance floor. It won two Orlando Weekly "best rooftop" nods for a reason, but manage expectations: the atmosphere is the product, the drinks are competent, and it's more see-the-city than lose-yourself-in-the-night.

A weeknight (Tuesday or Wednesday) about 45 minutes before sunset — you get the terrace, the golden-hour skyline, and none of the Friday-night wait.

Grab a spot on the outdoor terrace rather than the interior — the floor-to-ceiling windows are fine, but the open-air railing is where the 360-degree view actually pays off. Arrive early to claim it before the sunset crowd does.
