Universal Orlando has officially opened the doors to its newest hotel — Universal Helios Grand Hotel, a Loews Hotel — and it’s stunning!

This Mediterranean-inspired resort is located right next to the highly anticipated Epic Universe theme park and offers 500 beautifully designed rooms, including family-friendly How to Train Your Dragon-themed kids’ suites. Guests staying here can enjoy early access to the park (starting May 23, 2025), plus exclusive perks like a private entrance into Epic Universe, complimentary shuttles to the parks and CityWalk, and more.
Whether you’re relaxing by the zero-entry pool, dining at one of the resort’s signature restaurants like Flora Taverna or Lotus Lagoon, or grabbing a drink at the rooftop Bar Helios (with unbeatable views of Epic Universe), the Helios Grand Hotel combines luxury, convenience, and immersive theming for a next-level stay.
It’s also just one of four on-site hotels that’ll be located by Epic Universe when it opens on May 22, 2025 — perfect for being steps away from all the action. This new resort is a dreamy home base for your next Universal vacation.
