by

With the grand opening of Epic Universe on the horizon, I can’t help but feel excited about the opportunity to explore this new world! Universal Orlando Resort has unveiled a sneak peek into the hotel that promises the ultimate experience for any visitor – the Helios Grand Hotel. As a fan, I can hardly wait to be among the first to stay there and immerse myself in the magic of Epic Universe!

Nestled right inside the expansive Epic Universe, this grand, 500-bedded hotel, designed with Mediterranean flair, offers an array of attractions. Yet, what truly sets it apart is its prime location.

Stepping out of the hotel only a few paces away will lead you straight into Celestial Park, one of five captivating realms linking visitors to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Ministry of Magic, SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk, and Dark Universe. Therefore, if your vacation at Universal Orlando revolves around exploring Epic Universe upon its grand opening on May 22, 2025, there’s no better lodging choice than the Helios Grand Hotel for an unparalleled park experience.

All about the Helios Grand Hotel at Epic Universe

Right next door to Epic Universe, the Helios Grand Hotel offers an unparalleled lodging experience. Created by the esteemed Universal Creative team and jointly managed with Loews Hotels & Co., this new hotel is part of Universal Orlando’s Signature Collection and adds to the array of hotels designed to make your trip exceptional.

At this hotel, you’ll find a host of enjoyable facilities to unwind during your downtime from exploring Epic Universe and other Universal Orlando Parks like Universal Studios Florida, Island of Adventure, and Volcano Bay. For instance, the hotel boasts an array of eateries such as Flora Taverna, Aurora Market, and Lotus Lagoon. Additionally, you can work out at the fitness center, entertain yourself in the game room, or buy popular merchandise from the Universal Studios Store. To top off your day’s adventures in the parks, head to Bar Helios on the rooftop – it provides an outstanding vantage point of Epic Universe, arguably the best around!

Ultimately, visitors can savor unique perks at Universal hotels, such as Early Admission to certain theme parks an hour prior to opening (requires valid park admission), extended to Epic Universe starting May 23, 2025. Additionally, they’ll benefit from complimentary shuttle bus rides to the theme parks and Universal CityWalk, along with additional advantages.

Does the Helios Grand Hotel have a pool? 

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: After a day of exploring the epic gaming universe at the hotel, there’s nothing quite like unwinding by its stunning zero-entry pool. The Helios Grand offers a resort-style pool experience complete with a cozy hot tub and luxurious cabanas. Plus, the Lotus Lagoon is just steps away, offering delicious food and drinks to enhance your leisurely poolside moments.

But that’s not all…

How to Train Your Dragon Suites at the Helios Grand Hotel

Just as Minion-themed rooms are a hit at Universal Orlando, these suites are designed to enchant young Dragon Riders, filled with decor that creates the feeling of being a Viking enjoying a peaceful respite before embarking on a day of soaring through the skies and meeting magical creatures in the Park’s Isle of Berk.
