Rustic elegance with a cowboy streak.

What it's like

The Brownwood Hotel has plenty going on and just as much space to do nothing at all. Every generation is encouraged to be themselves and roam free here, whether that means joining the weekly events calendar or heading out across The Villages for live music, seasonal celebrations, and waterfront gatherings. Plus, the hotel is golf cart accessible, with rentals available if you'd like your own wheels.

Independent spirit

For every adventurous spirit.

Small touches

Each of the more than 150 guestrooms is set up to help you recharge between adventures, with plush mattresses, fine linens, and marble vanities. Suites give you more space to spread out, with a living area and a second bathroom that work especially well for families. Beyond the guestrooms, there's plenty of room to reset, from shaded pool cabanas and a 24/7 fitness center to The Brownwood Spa, where massages, advanced skincare, and body treatments make it easy to drop in for a quick treatment or make a whole day of it.

Eat and drink

Wolfgang Puck Kitchen + Bar puts a globally inspired twist on the American bar and grill for lunch, dinner, and weekend brunch, indoors or out on the patio. Slow-roasted prime rib is a Sunday tradition. Chef's Studio starts the day with breakfast, including a buffet and eggs cooked to order, while The Lobby Bar makes a cozy stop for a whiskey sour and a small plate or two.
