About this hotel

Universal Helios Grand Hotel at a glance

  • Rooms500
  • Express PassNot included
  • Closest toEpic Universe
  • Getting to the parksDedicated hotel entrance into Epic Universe

Universal Helios Grand Hotel opened with Epic Universe in 2025. Its 500 rooms sit at the far end of Celestial Park, inside the park boundary, and hotel guests have a dedicated entrance that puts them in the park within a few minutes of leaving the lobby. Many rooms look out over the park, and there is a rooftop bar with views across it.

It is a Signature Collection hotel with matching prices, but it does not include Express Pass for Epic Universe or for any other park. No hotel does at Epic. What you are paying for is location, the views and the newest rooms at the resort.

Who it suits

  • Trips where Epic Universe is the main event.
  • Guests who want to return to the room during the day without a bus.
  • A special-occasion stay with a park view.

Getting to the parks

Epic Universe is reached on foot through the hotel's own entrance. Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure and CityWalk are a shuttle bus ride away, so allow for that transfer on days at the original parks.

Good to know

  • With 500 rooms it is the smallest Signature Collection hotel and books up early.
  • Early Park Admission is included and is especially useful here, given the walk is so short.
  • If you want Express at Epic Universe, budget for it separately for every person.
