RESORT

Hard Rock Hotel

Hard Rock Hotel sits right at the heart of Universal Orlando Resort, within easy reach of both Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure — by water taxi, shuttle bus, or simply on foot. The California mission-style property leans hard into its music theme: expect genuine rock memorabilia throughout, a 12,000-square-foot pool with an underwater sound system, and monthly Velvet Sessions concerts featuring real touring acts. Rooms run from 375 to 2,000 square feet, with options including Club Level access and themed kids' suites. Staying here also unlocks serious park perks — free Universal Express Unlimited passes, early park admission, and complimentary package delivery from the shops. Dining covers a lot of ground, from The Palm steakhouse to poolside frozen cocktails at beachclub. It's a strong fit for families who want convenience and atmosphere, and for music fans who don't mind paying a premium for both.

Hard Rock is great but don't recommend Club Level

We've stayed here multiple times, but this was our first time doing Club Level. We stayed Club Level at Portifino so I was expecting something comparable, but was extremely disappointed. The "lunch" was labeled "snacks" but it was bags of Doritos or Cheetos or Oreos and the "main" was Uncrustables.....The breakfast was just a typical continental breakfast and the dinner was egg rolls and chicken on a stick. The beds in the room were very old and sunk in - we all slept terrible. With that being said, we still love Hard Rock Hotel because it's the closest walk to the parks, the pool/pool bar are the best of all Universal hotels and every other visit, the beds have been very comfortable. Would NOT recommend Club Level, but the hotel itself is usually great!

Been visiting the universal Hard Rock Hotel for over 20 years, the rock star has left the building!

Lost its ‘Rock Star’ soul, over priced and poor. They are only interested in volume not returning guests…been visiting for over 20 years (stayed 3x in one year once) but sadly now will not return. Save your money, stay at a better hotel, this is now on par with a uk travel lodge! Pay for your express passes instead - the hotel will be better and trip more cost effective. Huge disappointment from a fan of the brand and hotel previously! Avoid, I have tried to warn you x

Great location.

Great hotel and in a great location. Short walk to the studio and you get express tickets to the studios and islands of adventure. Boat ride if you want and stay in level 7, with it. Drinks and snacks. Rooms cleans and staff friendly. Recommend!!
