For the rock star in you, choose the Hard Rock Hotel for its constant stream of excellent music (even underwater in the swimming pool!) and its California mission-style façade. Modelled in this way to represent the hotel portrayed on the front cover of the Eagles' most famous album, Hotel California, this 650-room, seven-story hotel located on site at Universal Studios® is a celebration of classic rock and roll.
Guests are greeted by a vintage 1956 Chevy and a giant fountain with 42 guitars spouting water skyward and Elvis memorabilia graces the 1960s-style lobby and rock music fills the air. Fabulous dining options include: the well-known Palm Restaurant serving arguably some of the best seafood and steaks in the country; The Kitchen, which is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; grab a poolside snack at the Beachclub or sip cocktails in the smooth Velvet Bar. Also, Emack & Bolio's Marketplace is the perfect spot for some amazing award-winning ice cream!
Guests can show room keys at theme-park rides to bypass regular lines. Live reggae performances are offered nightly in the gazebo at Bob Marley’s Caribbean-style restaurant in CityWalk®, located in Universal Orlando®. Complimentary water taxi or shuttle is available from the hotel.
A 12,000-square-foot, zero-entry splash pool has interactive fountains and a 260-foot waterslide. A poolside bar and rock-themed cabanas (surcharge) are additional options. Treadmills, universal machines, and free weights are available at the fitness centre (surcharge) for those who want to work up a sweat.
