The hotel

As soon as you step through the front door of the Hard Rock Hotel®, you’ll feel like a rock ‘n’ roll icon. With little musical touches throughout the corridors and on the walls, you’ll be transported to Rockstar heaven. When it comes to the fun part there’s a huge pool, a sandy beach, and even water jets and a slide pool-side. But the music hasn’t been forgotten — dip your head under the water and hear the beat. You’re not far from the parks, and you also get exclusive benefits thrown in including skip-the-regular-line access**, and early park admission† to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and Universal’s Volcano Bay (select attractions, valid theme park admission required).

What an amazing hotel. Everything was perfect. Upon our early arrival, Felix surprised us with a free upgrade from a 2 queen garden view room to a future rock star suite. My daughter had her own room that was themed just for her. The hotel was clean and I enjoyed that it was the 1st hotel we have visited post Covid that literally had everything we needed in our room without having to call. They had ex towels, ex toiletries, trash bags, coffee, hand sanitizer, etc. never had to request a thing. The pool was wonderful and the staff and food was on point. My daughter loved the sand and the slide. The boat to City walk was always ready to go or just minutes away and the walk to the parks was easy and pretty. The free express passes made all the difference in the parks; especially during Thanksgiving week when the park was packed. We cannot wait to go back. No complaints at all! Read less

The pool area is a vacation in and of itself. You will NOT be disappointed if you choose to stay here ! Read less

We have stayed past this location twice in as many months at the Universal Orlando Resort. This fantastic hotel and the staff that run it are top-notch and customer service focused, elevation this location as our favorite UOR onsite property. Though this may be one of the more expensive places to stay within the boundaries of UOR, its proximity to Universal Studios and CityWalk, as well as the Unlimited Express Pass, more than make up for any cost savings you may find at a lesser expensive hotel.

Just returned from 4 nights at your wonderful hotel with our family. Club level was simply great, I would personally like to thank Hoa, Nan & Gabie for taking such good care of my grandsons. They enjoyed all the treats especially the 8 o'clock cookie and milk run. The experience was enjoyed by all ages :) and can't wait until we return.
