TOUR the New Dining Locations at Universal’s Stella Nova Resort With Us

Universal Orlando‘s new Stella Nova Hotel opens in just a few days, but we’re getting a sneak peek at the new resort ahead of its grand opening!

The official opening date of this new hotel is January 21st, 2025, and we can’t wait for guests to be able to experience this stunning new resort that’s “inspired by the infinite vastness of the unknown universe, where galaxies spiral ever outward, and unknown worlds revolve around unnamed stars.” When you’re deciding on where you’d like to stay, the amenities are often very important to your decision, so let’s check out the different dining options available here!

This new hotel features multiple new dining locations, including (but not limited to) a pool bar, a bar in the lobby, and a cafe/quick service location.

Cosmos Cafe and Market

Cosmos Cafe and Market is a quick service location that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu full of American food like burgers, paninis, fried chicken, and pastas.

The market has lots of grab-and-go options, and for lunch and dinner, you’ll also find grab-and-go salads and sandwiches. We also noticed that paninis will be offered here, but more importantly, you’ll be able to get ice cream.

If you’re looking for your morning Starbucks fix, but there is a coffee counter here that serves Starbucks coffee, including some of your favorite Starbucks drinks, including frappuccinos, teas, and refreshers.

There’s also plenty of seating in a vibrant bright space that is themed to the hotel.

We got to sample some breakfast goodies, including pastries and a breakfast pizza.

We also got to try the Bananas Foster Pancakes. Be looking for a full review soon!

Galaxy Bar and Galaxy Grill

Galaxy Bar and Galaxy Grill is a poolside bar that serves up burgers, quesadillas, and salads, along with wine, beer, and cocktails.

The bar here is a full bar with lots of places to sit.

You’ll find additional seating nearby right next to the pool.

The bar also has a Coca-Cola Freestyle machine so you can make your own soda concoctions.

Nova Bar

You’ll find Nova Bar in the hotel lobby. Here you can grab some craft cocktails, using “enclosed smoke vessels to infuse intriguing flavor profiles into the drinks.” That includes the Super Nova, made with whiskey, cherry-infused Campari, served smoked over a large ice cube, as well as The Nebula, which is Mezcal shaken with strawberry-rose syrup and topped with tonic and soda.

Of course, other classic cocktails are also available, along with beer and wine.

If you’re thinking of staying at this resort for your upcoming vacation, be sure to book your stay sooner rather than later. Stella Nova’s sister hotel, Terra Luna, will open later this year, and we’ll be bringing you all the details on that one when it opens up as well, so stay tuned to AllEars!
