☀️ What if your hotel was actually INSIDE the theme park?! 🎢✨
That’s exactly what makes the Helios Grand Hotel at Universal Epic Universe so special.
We recently stayed here, and I can honestly say…my expectations were exceeded and I don't know how I'll ever be able to stay anywhere else the next time I visit Epic Universe.
Inspired by the beauty of the Mediterranean and the celestial world around it, the Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel, is absolutely stunning from the moment you walk through the doors.
But the real magic? ✨
You can walk straight from the hotel into Epic Universe through a dedicated entrance for hotel guests. No shuttle. No hassle. Just walk out of the lobby and straight into the park! This is an absolute game changer for rope droppers like me 😜
And after a full day of rides, snacks and exploring, being able to walk back to your room in minutes is EVERYTHING, especially when you have little ones in tow!
A few other perks I loved:
☀️ Early Park Admission to select attractions
🏨 Gorgeous rooms, including incredible theme park view rooms
🐉 Unique How to Train Your Dragon Kids’ Suites
🏊♀️ Beautiful zero-entry resort pool
🍹 Rooftop Bar Helios overlooking Epic Universe
🍽️ Multiple dining options right at the hotel
🚌 Complimentary transportation to Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure & City Walk
Yes, Helios Grand is a splurge, and no it does not include unlimited Universal Express passes like some of the other signature Universal hotels. But, if you want your hotel to be an extension of your vacation experience rather than simply somewhere to sleep, this one is pretty hard to beat. 💫
And again…being able to walk into Epic Universe from your hotel? That’s a Universal perk that you can't go back from once you've experienced it for yourself!
