Readers' Opinions

Universal's Portofino Bay Hotel
An authentic re-creation of the Italian village, the Portofino Bay was the winner of the 2002 Theme Park Insider Award for "World's Best" on-site theme park hotel. It is connected to the Universal Orlando theme parks via either a pedestrian walkway or a short motorboat ride.

Universal's Hard Rock Hotel
Featuring rock n' roll memorabilia throughout, the Hard Rock Hotel offers four bars and restaurants (but not a Hard Rock Cafe - that's down the street at CityWalk - go figure), pool and sits a short walk from Universal Orlando's theme parks. It also features a underwater sound system in one of the largest pools in Orlando.
9
Universal's Royal Pacific Resort
This Universal hotel, with a tropical theme, is priced more moderately than the neighboring Portofino Bay and Hard Rock hotels. Guests enjoy front-of-the-line access to almost all attractions at Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure, which stand just a short walk, or water-taxi ride, away.

Doubletree at Universal Orlando
These are the most prominent hotels located in the hotel area just across the street from Universal's main entrance.
