Setting the Scene at The Velvet Bar
The moment you step inside, you’ll enter a world where luxury meets rock history. The atmosphere is immediately relaxing.

Food
The Velvet Bar offers a selection of delicious appetizers. Enjoy mouth-watering flatbreads, sliders and artisanal cheese platters designed to go perfectly with your cocktail.
The Velvet Sessions
What sets The Velvet Bar apart from other bars in Orlando is its legendary Velvet Sessions. Every last Thursday of the month, the bar turns into Orlando’s coolest live music venue. Previous performers have included rock royalty such as Bret Michaels and Foreigner. You can enjoy a night filled with fantastic music, all without leaving your hotel.
The Velvet Bar’s Ideal Location
