3…2…1… LIFT OFF! Universal’s Stella Nova Resort is finally here! This brand-new Prime Value hotel is one of three different properties opening right near Universal Epic Universe, set to begin greeting guests on May 22, 2025. From its unique theming to its incredible value, here are the top five benefits of staying at Universal Stella Nova Resort.
1. Light Speed to Attractions
One serious perk of staying at Universal Stella Nova Resort is its prime location near all Universal Orlando Resort attractions. The closest? None other than the highly anticipated Universal Epic Universe. This resort plans to feature a dedicated walking trail straight to the park. Stella Nova also provides complimentary bus transportation to all other Universal attractions, which normally takes less than fifteen minutes to arrive.
2. Stella Nova’s SPACE-ious Pool and Splash Pad
Ready to relax in the Florida sun? Stella Nova has you covered! This resort has a giant pool with plenty of seating for everyone. Find a cozy spot in the sand or settle in by the splash zone to keep a close eye on your kiddos.
If you’re not in the mood to take a dip, no problem! This area also has a fire pit, and some of your favorite movies will be played under the stars for you to enjoy.
3. Out of this World Theming
The galaxy awaits everyone who enters Universal Stella Nova Resort. The immersive theming starts before you even enter the building. Covered in 140,000 hand-placed color-shifting tiles and dazzling star constellation lighting, the tone is set for an incredible space-exploring adventure.
Step through the vortex and into a world inspired by space, where real NASA photos surround you—from the lobby to your room. Be sure to take a trip to the third floor to check out the one-of-a-kind starry hallway.
4. Dining at Stella Nova: Astronaut-Approved Food and Drinks
Who said theme park food had to be boring? Certainly not here! Universal Stella Nova Resort has plenty of amazing food and beverage options for all palettes.
Needing something quick and on the go? Cosmos Cafe and Market is located in the lobby and has you covered with fresh coffee, in-house baked goods, and ready-to-eat options. Prefer to take it slow? The cafe side offers a relaxed atmosphere for those not rushing to the parks. With salads, soups, sandwiches, burgers, house-made pizza, and more, there is sure to be something for everyone at breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Close by awaits the Nova Bar. Here, you can enjoy specialty crafted and space-themed cocktails or your favorite mixed drink from the full bar.
Step outside to experience the Galaxy Bar and Grill, the perfect spot to enjoy a snack and sip by the pool.
Tired after a long park day? Stella Nova offers pizza delivery and in-room dining every evening until midnight!
5. Stellar Value
This Prime Value hotel has so much to offer for its guests. Each room has two queen beds and serene views of the pool or stunning sights of Universal Epic Universe.
There is also a fully equipped fitness center and an exciting arcade. Early park admission to the theme parks (yes, even Epic Universe once it opens) is also included for all guests staying at Stella Nova with Universal Orlando Resort park admission. All of this for just a starting price of around $189 a night.
