The Hard Rock Hotel Orlando is located within the grounds of Universal Studios Orlando, making it one of Florida’s most unique places to stay. Many visitors to Universal Studios Orlando choose to stay here not only because of its first-class services and amenities, but also because of the park benefits. Hard Rock guests are granted early park admission and can skip many of the regular park lines. There are complimentary hotel shuttles to and from the park, as well as priority seating at many park restaurants.

Hard Rock Hotel Rooms

Rooms at the Hard Rock Hotel Orlando are large, comfortable, and meant to accommodate a variety of party sizes. Standard rooms offer two queen beds and either a garden or pool view. Larger deluxe rooms offer king-size beds and pullout sofas in a separate sitting area. The hotel also provides an array of suites for varying needs. Families will appreciate the youth-friendly kid’s suites, which feature child-sized furniture and an attached kid’s room with their own television. A king suite, complete with a parlor and dining room for entertaining, can be connected to two more one-bedroom suites, making it a three-bedroom suite. If entertaining is a priority, consider the hotel’s hospitality suite, which includes a parlor, dining table, wet bar, service pantry, and office. When combined with the adjoining one-bedroom room, this suite is 1,625 square feet. The largest Hard Rock Orlando suite, however, is the Graceland suite. Stretching out to 2,375 square feet, this luxurious dwelling includes two large flat panel televisions, a baby grand piano, a whirlpool tub, and a glass enclosed fireplace.

Every room at the Hard Rock comes with the hotel’s standard amenities. Entertainment centers include a 32” high definition flat panel television with On Demand film service, an MP3 docking station, and high-speed internet access. For additional exclusive amenities, guests can choose to upgrade to Club Level on the seventh floor. Club rooms include larger televisions, evening turndown service, and luxurious bathrobes. Guests of the Club Level can also take advantage of the Club 7 Lounge, complimentary daily breakfast and afternoon snacks, and a music library.

The perks of the hotel extend beyond the park, as well. While the Hard Rock offers an on-site fitness center, jogging paths, and in-room or poolside massages, guests are warmly welcomed at the full service Mandara Spa, located within Universal Studios. Golf Coordinators are also on hand for enthusiasts who wish to take advantage of Orlando’s many world-class golf courses.

Hard Rock Hotel Pool

The 12,000 square foot pool complex is at the heart of the Hard Rock Hotel Orlando and offers unique amenities in addition to its pool and two hot tubs. There is a beach made of real sand, including a sand volleyball court. Kids love the interactive fountain and the 260-foot waterslide. An underwater sound system plays music within the pool. The hotel hosts several poolside activities, including ping-pong, basketball, water balloon contests, and a poolside movie every week. Those who wish to indulge can rent a cabana, which includes a television, refrigerator, internet access, and poolside drink service. Some of these cabanas are music-themed and pay tribute to well-known performers such as Stevie Wonder and The Beatles.

Concert Venue Map

Perhaps the most popular attractions at the Hard Rock Hotel Orlando are the concerts. Larger musical events are hosted at Hard Rock Live, a 3,000 capacity venue located at the Universal CityWalk entertainment complex, adjacent to the largest Hard Rock Café in the world. More intimate musical events are called Velvet Sessions, which are held at the Velvet Bar within the Hard Rock Hotel.
