Deluxe king rooms include a king bed, lounge area, and work desk. The Graceland Suite has a baby grand piano, fireplace, and whirlpool tub.

Velvet Bar offers cocktails and appetizers in a lobby setting. Beachclub provides poolside snacks and drinks, while Emack & Bolio's Marketplace serves Starbucks coffee, grab-and-go meals, and award-winning ice cream. Hard Rock Cafe Orlando, the world's largest, is a short walk away at Universal CityWalk.

Pool & Recreation

The 12,000-square-foot pool features underwater music, a 260-foot slide, and sand volleyball. Two hot tubs, interactive fountains, and a kids' play area are available. The Body Rock Fitness Center includes treadmills, ellipticals, and free weights. Guests can rent cabanas equipped with ceiling fans, TVs, and refrigerators. The Sound of Your Stay program offers Fender guitars, record players, and curated playlists for in-room use.

Theme Park Benefits

Guests receive free Universal Express Unlimited ride access at Universal Studios Florida and Universal's Islands of Adventure, including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Spider-Man. Early Park Admission grants access to select areas one hour before opening. Free water taxis and shuttles connect the hotel to the parks. Charging purchases to the room key and free merchandise delivery to the hotel are included.

Meetings & Events

The hotel has over 16,000 square feet of event space, including the 2,964-square-foot Avalon Ballroom and the 9,000-square-foot Woodstock Lawn. The Fillmore Meeting Room accommodates up to 60 guests. On-site chefs can prepare banquet menus with vegetarian and kosher options. Hard Rock Live, adjacent to the hotel, hosts concerts and events. The Business Center offers printing, internet access, and secretarial services.

“I think the main draw here is definitely the Universal Express passes. The immersive rock-and-roll theme-from memorabilia to live music-creates a high-energy atmosphere, though some may find the premium price a bit steep without fully utilizing the park benefits. On the downside, reports of inconsistent service and cleanliness are worth noting, suggesting attention to detail may vary.”
