Universal Orlando is about to be even more epic!
On May 22nd, both Epic Universe and Universal Grand Helios Hotel are set to open! Grand Helios, Stella Nova, and Terra Luna are three of the new resorts built specifically for the Epic Universe expansion. Today, we got an exclusive sneak preview at two of the hotel rooms available to book at Helios Grand Hotel, and we are taking you along for a tour! Let’s go!
Universal Helios Grand Hotel blends “immersion and relaxation” where you will get to “step into a sunlit sanctuary, where light, life and laughter abound.” Universal also describes Helios Grand as having “beautiful details of celestial patterns and constellations adorn the hotel with a casual, elegant Mediterranean-inspired feel throughout.” This hotel has 500 rooms, 35 suites, dining options, and entertainment. It even has its own dedicated entrance into Epic Universe!
Let’s go inside a Standard Room!
When you enter the room, you’re greeted by a full-length mirror. Did someone say fit check before running out to the parks?!
There’s a closet complete with hangers, an iron and ironing board, and extra pillows, of course!
Standard Rooms have double queen beds and can accommodate up to five guests (with a rollaway bed). You can upgrade your room to have a Skyline view, Pool view, or even Epic Universe park view!
The blankets on the beds are velvet-y and a light pink/salmon color.
The nightstand is equipped with plenty of chargers. Yes, it’s got USB-A and USB-C!
You also have room to store belongings inside or on top of this dresser, which is also where you’ll find the TV. Don’t forget the desk chair with…
…this funky lamp!
On the left-hand side, you’ll find a mini fridge to store any drinks or leftover food from the parks.
You can make your own coffee in the room…
…or fetch ice with this fancy golden ice bucket. Check out the Helios coasters, too!
Before we get to the truly mind-blowing views, let’s check out the bathroom.
The toilet and shower are sectioned off with their own door so other people can get ready by the sink and mirror.
The shower has a sliding glass door with the shampoo, conditioner, and soap in bottles attached to the wall.
There is only one sink in this bathroom, however, there’s plenty of counter space on each side for your belongings. There’s always one person who needs to sprawl out all of their cosmetics!
The room is full of storage all over, and they didn’t leave out the bathroom!
Drum roll please! It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for…and it’s even better than you could have imagined. Let’s get closer…
Voila! How INCREDIBLE is this view?! From your HOTEL ROOM?! You can see everything going on in the park at all hours of the day! It doesn’t get any better than this.
We are just speechless. But we do know we’re ruined and can only book rooms here with the Epic Universe view from now on.
In additon to Standard and Club Level rooms, there are How to Train Your Dragon Kids’ Suites, inspired by the Viking village of Berk. You can also book King, Celestial, and Presidential Suites.
We can’t wait for Helios Grand Hotel and Epic Universe to open, so make sure to stay tuned with us here at DFB for more Universal Orlando coverage!
