Epic Universe is set to open at Universal Orlando in 2025.
Epic Universe will be Universal’s third theme park and will include five themed lands with a ton of brand new rides, new shops, new restaurants, new entertainment, and more. Epic Universe will also bring three NEW hotels to Universal, including its most exciting, Universal Grand Helios Hotel. Now, we know when Universal Grand Helios Hotel will open.
Universal Grand Helios Hotel will be the first of its kind for Universal because it will actually be INSIDE Epic Universe. It will have 500 rooms and give guests direct access to Celestial Park, the land that will act as Epic Universe’s entrance that leads to the other four lands in the park. The hotel will open to guests on May 22nd, 2025. Reservations will be open on Tuesday, October 22nd.
Universal Grand Helios Hotel is one of three hotels coming to Epic Universe. The other two will be Universal Stella Nova Resort along with Universal Terra Luna Resort. Both hotels will be owned by Loews. Stella Nova, which is inspired by the cosmos will open on January 21st, 2025. Terra Luna, which is inspired by terrestrial exploration, will open on February 25th, 2025.
Note that we still don’t have an opening date or timeline for Epic Universe, but you’ll be able to stay in these hotels before it opens (and maybe get a few sneak peeks at the work being done at Epic Universe.
