Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe is dominating theme park discourse these days and for good reason!
Universal finally announced Epic Universe will open on May 22nd, 2025! That’s not all — we also learned that hotel reservations for the brand-new Universal Helios Grand Hotel start TODAY for when the park opens alongside the theme park that houses it. We checked up on the pricing for this new in-park hotel and we’re sharing all the deets!
As we previously mentioned, bookings are NOW OPEN for Universal Helios Grand Hotel, which officially opens on May 22nd, 2025!
Reservations for the new Universal and Loews hotel can be made online at the Universal website and under the “Hotels and Packages” section or via the Loews website. As for pricing, last week, Universal revealed guests staying at the new hotel can expect to pay a minimum of $293 per night plus tax based on a 4-night stay.
Upon the official release of prices, we saw that (as expected) prices for the hotel are fluctuating somewhat heavily during Epic Universe’s first month of operation, as well as across the hotel’s various room levels.
Prices for the hotel’s standard rooms are approximately where we expected, with date-based fluctuations.
There’s a leap from standard to deluxe rooms.
From there, prices begin to vary based on view. There’s Skyline View…
…Pool View…
…and the most expensive Park View.
Moving beyond standard room layouts, the Helios offers a variety of other room levels. There’s a Club Level…
…How to Train Your Dragon-themed family suites…
…a King Suite…
…the park-themed Celestial Suite…
…and the top-level Presidential Suite.
Along with this pricing, we also know that hotel perks will include Early Park Admission to the Universal parks, complimentary shuttle service to and from other Universal properties, Resort-wide charging privileges, and complimentary merchandise delivery. Guests will also get an exclusive entryway into Universal Epic Universe. Missing from the notable perks, however, is the Universal Express Pass, which may or may not be included in stays on a future date.
We’ll continue to keep you posted on all the latest Epic Universe and Universal Orlando news, so stay tuned right here at DFB to stay in the know!
