Big news for future guests at Universal Orlando Resort: the highly anticipated Universal Helios Grand Hotel is now opening earlier than expected! Originally slated for a May debut, this new hotel will officially open its doors on April 16, 2025. That’s right — you can experience this extraordinary resort even sooner. Reserve your stay here.
Inspired by Helios, the Greek god of the sun, this resort weaves together Mediterranean beauty, cosmic wonder, and futuristic flair. Think intricate constellations, radiant sunlight, lush floral motifs, and dreamy architecture that feels both timeless and otherworldly.
As part of Universal Orlando’s Signature Collection, guests at Helios Grand enjoy premium amenities, elevated service, and the resort’s biggest perk: an exclusive entrance directly into Epic Universe, Universal’s newest theme park. No buses. No long walks. Just a seamless, stress-free entry into the Epic Universe.
The hotel doesn’t just sit next to Epic Universe—it’s practically a part of it. Its aesthetic complements the adjacent Celestial Park, the central hub of Epic Universe, serving as a gorgeous backdrop to the new theme park’s skyline. Its architecture and theming enhance the immersive atmosphere of the park, making your stay feel like a continuous adventure.
With the opening date of Universal Helios Grand Hotel bumped up to April 16, now’s your chance to be one of the first guests to stay at these brand-new accommodations.
