With four unique parks to explore, a variety of ticket options, and on-site resorts that keep you close to the action, I’ll help you plan a trip that’s as seamless as it is spectacular. Whether you're chasing dinosaurs, casting spells, or cooling off at a tropical water paradise, there's something for everyone at Universal.
From retro cool to rockstar chic, each Universal Orlando Resort hotel offers its own unique vibe—plus exclusive theme park perks, incredible amenities, and immersive theming that keeps the fun going even after you’ve left the parks. Whether you're looking for laid-back luxury or family-friendly value, there's a perfect place to stay just steps from the action.
Universal Orlando’s Signature Collection comprises Loews Portofino Bay Hotel, Hard Rock Hotel, Loews Royal Pacific Resort, Loews Sapphire Falls Resort, and Grand Helios Resort. Each offers elevated accommodations, immersive theming, and exceptional amenities, all just steps away from the parks.
All Signature resorts include early park admission to select attractions, priority seating at participating restaurants, complimentary transportation throughout the resort and CityWalk, resort-wide charging privileges, and in-resort delivery of theme park purchases.
