|

The countdown to the grand opening of Universal Orlando Resort’s highly anticipated Epic Universe is on, and with it comes an exciting lineup of new hotels! Among them is Universal Stella Nova Resort, a new Prime Value hotel inspired by the mysteries of the cosmos. While the grand opening isn’t until January 21, 2025, we’ve got a first look at the accommodations—and trust us, it’s out of this world!

The immersive theming starts the moment you arrive. As you drive up to the hotel, look up – the lobby’s overhang is designed to resemble a swirling black hole, setting the celestial tone. 

Step inside, and you’ll find space-inspired elements that strike a perfect balance—tasteful and modern but never overwhelming. Thoughtful touches, like natural light streaming through spaceship-style windows and subtle star and galaxy murals accenting the curved interiors, create an inviting atmosphere that’s sleek and far from overdone. 

Naturally, you’ll find the front desk ready to welcome you, with Cosmos Café & Market and Nova Bar just steps away. Don’t worry—we’ll explore all the dining options soon!

Universal Stella Nova Resort Rooms

Enter your cosmic escape at Universal Stella Nova Resort! This hotel features 750 double-queen guest rooms adorned in soothing teal and purple tones for a calming, celestial ambiance. From the sleek curves that echo the vastness of space to the exquisite touches—like complimentary soap wrapped with interplanetary flair—no detail is overlooked. 

Each room at this resort features two queen beds, with options available for mobile and hearing accessibility. Whether you opt for an upgraded view or not, the vistas are unbeatable. Each one we’ve seen offers breathtaking panoramas of the surrounding areas and theme parks. Trust us, you won’t be able to take your eyes off the horizon!

Universal Orlando Resort’s newest hotel serves up four fantastic dining options to satisfy every craving. There’s Cosmos Café & Market, offering quick-service meals for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and more; Nova Bar, the chic hotel lobby bar; Galaxy Bar & Galaxy Grill, a poolside favorite for drinks and casual bites; and convenient in-room pizza delivery.

Cosmos Café & Market and Nova Bar are both located in the hotel lobby, making them perfect for a grab-and-go breakfast on your way to the parks or a relaxing drink after a fun-filled day. When you’re lounging poolside, Galaxy Bar & Galaxy Grill has you covered—enjoy your meal there or order ahead for pickup at their convenient window to enjoy right at your pool chair. And when you’re too wiped out after those park days, pizza delivery to your room is a lifesaver.

Universal Stella Nova Resort also offers plenty of thoughtful amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center and convenient laundry facilities, ensuring you have everything you need for a seamless and enjoyable stay. Guests can also enjoy an arcade and a Universal Studios Store, ensuring entertainment and essentials are always within reach.
