Today, Universal Orlando Resort opened its newest hotel: Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel. This breathtaking, 500-room retreat—Mediterranean-inspired in design—offers sweeping views of the all-new Universal Epic Universe theme park.
Brought to life by the award-winning Universal Creative team and co-owned and operated by Loews Hotels & Co, the hotel becomes the latest addition to Universal Orlando’s Signature Collection. Guests can enjoy bright and welcoming accommodations, including How to Train Your Dragon-themed Kids’ Suites, various enticing dining options, a stunning rooftop bar, lively amenities, and the convenience of a private entrance into Epic Universe.
Nestled on the edge of Universal Epic Universe, Helios Grand Hotel seamlessly blends immersive design with relaxing comforts, offering an unforgettable stay just steps from the thrills of the new theme park. Guests can indulge in an array of top-tier amenities, including diverse dining experiences at Flora Taverna, Aurora Market, and Lotus Lagoon; a resort-style zero-entry pool with a hot tub and stylish cabanas; plus a fitness center, game room, and fan-favorite merchandise from the Universal Studios Store.
For breathtaking views and elevated sips, guests can head to the hotel’s top floor to unwind at Bar Helios, where food, drinks, and panoramic scenes of Epic Universe await.
Guests staying at Helios Grand Hotel will enjoy exclusive access and perks, including a dedicated entrance to Epic Universe conveniently located right off the hotel lobby (with valid theme park admission). They’ll also receive special benefits reserved for Universal hotel guests, such as Early Park Admission to select Universal parks, which will expand to include Epic Universe starting May 23, 2025, allowing entry up to one hour before the park opens (with valid theme park admission). Additional perks include complimentary shuttle transportation to Universal theme parks and Universal CityWalk, plus more exciting guest-only advantages.
