Universal Orlando has unveiled new details and photos of its highly anticipated signature resort, the Helios Grand Hotel. Set to open next year, the 500-room Helios Grand Hotel will be located adjacent to the new Universal Epic Universe theme park.
Drawing inspiration from Mediterranean architecture with celestial motifs paying homage to the Greek god of the sun, Helios, the new hotel features a dedicated park entrance for guests and views of the Celestial Park area of Epic Universe.

A collaborative project between the Universal Creative team and Loews Hotels & Co, Helios Grand Hotel’s guestrooms, designed to depict the tranquility of a Greek garden, include the How to Train Your Dragon Kids’ Suites for families. Inspired by the animated film, the suites are Viking-themed and include murals from the film.
Additional amenities at the Universal Helios Grand Hotel include:
- Bar Helios: A rooftop lounge serving tapas and specialty cocktails. The lounge boasts 360-degree views of Epic Universe.
