Hotels near RDV Sportsplex and the Orlando Ice Den in Maitland: walkable options for hockey, tennis and club events, plus Altamonte Springs and Winter Park.
RDV Sportsplex is a 365,000-square-foot sports, fitness and wellness complex at 8701 Maitland Summit Boulevard, Orlando, in the Maitland area north of downtown. It opened in 1998, backed by the DeVos family, owners of the Orlando Magic, and it houses a full-service athletic club, a tennis center, the two-rink Orlando Ice Den, a spa, restaurants and medical offices. The Magic trained here for years before moving to their own facility near the Kia Center.
Most visitors come for a youth hockey tournament, a tennis event or a club competition, and the good news is that several hotels are less than a mile away. This guide covers the closest ones, when Altamonte Springs or Winter Park is the better base, and how far you are from everything else.
