The horses draw you in.
The whole world around them
makes you want to stay.
HORSE COUNTRY, WITH A WORLD OF ITS OWN
Coffee before the first class. A beautiful find in a boutique. Dinner worth lingering over. At World Equestrian Center – Ocala, the pleasure of the place reaches well beyond the arena. You don’t have to be in the saddle to feel part of it.
THE ART OF STAYING A LITTLE LONGER
Chandeliers overhead. Equestrian portraits on the walls. A grand lobby that sets the tone before you ever reach your room. This AAA Four Diamond resort brings polished hospitality to the heart of horse country.
Choose an arena-view room for a closer connection to the sport, then enjoy the restaurants, boutiques and Calluna Spa within the hotel.
ROOM FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND
An inviting home base with studios and suites, separate spaces to unwind, and a pet-friendly welcome. Pool time, coffee from The Tack Room and another day at WEC: it’s easy to find your rhythm here.
A TABLE FOR EVERY MOOD
Make it a steakhouse evening, a relaxed pub gathering or a new discovery at The Equestrian Manor. The dining scene gives every visit its own flavor.
Choose a name. Find your kind of evening.
A beautifully dressed evening: prime steaks, seafood and a thoughtful wine program, with the Grand Arena just beyond. A fitting place to celebrate a great round—or simply being here.
The easygoing side of the resort. Settle in for pub favorites, cocktails and the conversation that carries on long after the show.
Italian dining brings a different mood to the Manor: a reason to dress for dinner, linger at the table and make an ordinary evening feel like a getaway.
A fresh direction for dinner, with a menu inspired by Asian cuisines. One more reason to let a visit become a longer stay.
American favorites and craft pours in a setting made for gathering. Come with friends; leave with plans to do it again.
French-inspired pastries and coffee turn the space between plans into its own pleasure. Find Emma’s at The Equestrian Hotel and The Equestrian Manor.
A FEW BEAUTIFUL FINDS
Step into the hotel’s boutiques for designer fashion, accessories, gifts and elegant pieces for home. The Arena Shops bring another kind of temptation: riding apparel, tack and the details that make equestrian life your own.
Browse the hotel collection. Explore the arena retailers. Bring a little of horse country home.
04 / THE LUXURY OF AN UNHURRIED HOUR
A treatment at Calluna Spa. A quiet afternoon by the hotel pool. The best part of a full day can be the moment you stop filling it.
This is horse country.
It is also a way to live well.
