Many rooms will offer stunning views of the Universal Epic Universe, which itself encompasses five immersive worlds packed with over 50 attractions, entertainment, dining, and shopping experiences. For families, specially designed children’s suites themed around “How to Train Your Dragon” will provide an engaging stay for younger guests.
The hotel’s dining options are extensive, featuring a full-service restaurant named Flora Taverna, a coffee shop called Aurora Market, and the poolside bar and grill known as Lotus Lagoon. Collectively, these venues ensure that guests are spoilt for choice when it comes to culinary delights during their stay.
The launch of the Helios Grand Hotel marks a significant expansion moment for Universal Orlando, increasing its portfolio to include 11 hotels and 11,000 rooms categorised into three distinct collections.
