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.

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.
