Welcome to Universal Helios Grand Hotel, the crown jewel of Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe theme park, opening in 2025. This brand-new hotel is more than just a place to stay near the parks. It’s a fully immersive resort inspired by Helios, the Greek god of the sun, offering guests a celestial hotel experience like no other. 🌞
From the moment you step into the grand lobby, music from Celestial Park surrounds you, creating a seamless connection between the hotel and the park. Every detail of this 500-room, Mediterranean-style resort tells a story—Helios’ mythological journey through sky, sea, sun, and moon.
Don’t miss Bar Helios, the hotel’s rooftop lounge with handcrafted cocktails and sunset views over Epic Universe.
Throughout the resort, you’ll discover artwork and decor inspired by gods, goddesses, and celestial elements. Even the massive 400-pound gold cartouche on the hotel’s exterior perfectly aligns with Kronos Gate, the dramatic entrance to Epic Universe.
This is more than a hotel—it’s a destination all its own
