## Hotels by time to the hall

The 5 hotels closest to **North/South Building**, to the nearest entrance, along a [route we calculated](https://venuenights.com/about/#method). The OCCC's calendar puts the show in the North/South Building, so the times below are to it.

### Closest to North/South Building

- **Rosen Centre Hotel** (Skywalk): 5 min walk to South Concourse (walking route). Skywalk to the West Building, near Hall A (Visit Orlando gave under 4 min, 2011)
- **Hyatt Regency Orlando** (Bridges): 7 min walk to South Concourse (walking route). Bridges to the West Building (near Hall C, Level 2) and the North/South Building; AIMExpo gives 6 to 8 min to the main entrance

- **Hilton Orlando** (Bridge): 9 min walk to South Concourse (walking route). Pedestrian bridge straight into the North/South Building (South Concourse); the time shown is the walk by street; the route over the bridge is not measured, because the map lacks the part inside the hotel
