Lakeside Inn, the heart of Central Florida's Mount Dora, is an old Florida hotel masterpiece where you can enjoy old world splendor while relaxing with all the modern resort amenities from generously appointed guest rooms, to onsite spa and pool and fine dining restaurants.

.The Inn's cluster of five buildings are grand in the quaint Old Florida style, built to last centuries and garnished with gables, balconies, porches and fanciful Victorian flourishes. The estate is graced with stately oak trees dripping with Spanish moss and an expanse of green that sweeps down to an Olympic-sized swimming pool and sparkling Lake Dora. Many rooms and suites feature picture postcard views of the lake, dotted with sailboats, antique vessels, and beautiful sunsets.

Lakeside Inn offers 85 guest rooms and suites, many with spectacular views of Lake Dora.

With its crescent of French windows looking out onto resort gardens, Beauclaire restaurant combines a relaxed atmosphere with sophistication, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner daily with Southern warmth and hospitality. The Orlando Sentinel called our Sunday brunch the "Most Pleasant Dining Experience of the Year." Winner of the Mystery Diner Five Forks commendation and Central Florida Magazine's Reader's Choice Award, the kitchen excels at contemporary American cuisine with a Dixie accent. Tremain's Lounge has a Gatsby air about it, where laughter and drinks chime and live jazz entertains each weekend. Here's where resort guests and Mount Dorians mingle for informal dining and good times. During the day, have your favorite beverage sunny side up at the Lakeside Inn Pool Bar.
