BREAKING: Universal Shares FULL GUIDE to Its NEW Helios Grand Hotel

There’s a stunning new Universal hotel coming SOON to Florida! This new resort is being called “the crown jewel of Epic Universe and the pinnacle of Universal Orlando’s hotel experiences,” so the bar is set HIGH.

Wanna see what Universal has planned for this new hotel? Let’s take a look at the FULL details of Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel!

Universal Helios Grand Hotel is set to be a 500-room resort at Universal Epic Universe (opening in 2025). The hotel design is described as “a majestic Mediterranean-inspired escape rising above the lush gardens and scenic waters of Celestial Park at Epic Universe.” Based on the concept art, this place looks light, bright, and relaxing.

All around the resort, you’ll see details that immerse you in the palace of Helios, the Greek god of the sun. Look for celestial patterns, constellations, and “elegant yet casual Mediterranean design elements.” Of course, the lobby is the real showstopper — you’ll see floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of Celestial Park! That’s right; you can find some of the best views of Epic Universe right there in the lobby!

Now, let’s talk about what this resort offers. Spoiler alert — there’s a LOT!

• Dedicated Entrance to Universal Epic Universe: Right off the lobby is the hotel’s exclusive entrance into Epic Universe. This gets you direct access to and from the theme park!
• Resort-style Pool: The zero-entry pool sounds AMAZING! It’s got underwater speakers, poolside cabanas available for rent, a hot tub, poolside movies, recreational activities, and more.
• Complimentary Fitness Center: This state-of-the-art gym will feature a variety of strength and cardio equipment.
• Game Room: A selection of games will be available with the purchase of a game card.
• Universal Orlando Resort Store: Here, you can purchase everything from souvenirs to necessities!

Universal also shared a FIRST LOOK at the new ROOMS! There are large suites, relaxing rooms, and How to Train Your Dragon Kids’ Suites.

Here’s a closer peek at the concert art. The room looks STUNNING!

Of course, the How to Train Your Dragon Kids’ Suites are pretty epic, too.

Now, let’s talk about the food and drinks available at this resort. First, there’s Bar Helios, which is a new rooftop lounge with a menu of tapas and familiar favorites, handcrafted specialty cocktails, and “unmatched 360-degree views of Epic Universe and beyond.”

Additionally, there is a variety of dining options, including:

• Flora Taverna: This is a full-service restaurant offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There is a lobby bar and an open-style kitchen with live cooking, Mediterranean comfort foods, pizza ovens, and al fresco seating.
• Aurora Market: Universal explained that this is a contemporary coffee shop and market offering a selection of coffees, grab-and-go food items, and snack and dessert options from morning to night.
• Lotus Lagoon: Here, you’ll find the resort’s poolside bar and grill, where you can enjoy a cocktail or non-alcoholic drinks and enjoy casual fare options like burgers, salads, sandwiches, and more.

If you’re staying at any Universal Orlando hotel, you’ll be treated to some exclusive theme park benefits. Those staying at Universal Helios Grand Hotel or any of the other Universal Orlando hotels will receive Early Park Admission to enjoy select attractions at the theme parks. And, yes, this will expand to include Universal Epic Universe with the park’s opening in 2025. This perk will get you in the park up to one hour before the park opens. Universal Orlando hotel guests can also use the complimentary shuttle bus transportation, use resort-wide charging privileges, get complimentary merchandise delivery, and more. WOW!
