The grand opening of Epic Universe is next year, but there are already so many reasons to get excited!
Universal keeps releasing new details, including the confirmation of five lands — Super Nintendo World, Celestial Park, Dark Universe, a How to Train Your Dragon land, and a new Wizarding World of Harry Potter land. We recently got details on three of the five but that’s not all we’re watching. Let’s take a look at the construction for the mind-blowing new hotel coming to Epic Universe!
The hotel in question is Universal’s Helios Grand Hotel! This hotel will basically be a part of the new theme park. How? Well, it’ll have direct access to the theme park — something that no Disney World hotel currently offers.
Now, thanks to @bioreconstruct on X, we got a look at the construction of this one-of-a-kind Universal hotel. As you can see in the concept art above, there are domes on top of the building. Based on this recent construction photo, those are shaping up nicely!
The hotel is set to have a Mediterranean-inspired feel which is starting to come through with the construction. Universal also previously said the hotel will have, “500 rooms integrated into the park like no other theme park in the world.”
Here’s a close up on the decorative piece at the top and center of the building. Look at the detail on this thing!
The other two hotels that are opening to accommodate the influx of guests with Epic Universe’s 2025 opening are Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort. These are opening in early 2025 and we have to say, the prices shocked us! Learn all about that here. P.S. — you can book them now!

Can’t wait to learn when/how to make a reservation so I can have it paid for by the time I get there, because I’m sure it’ll be pricey $$$$.
Cannot wait been going to Universal since day 1 when you had King Kong and Jaws loved it.
First in the world huh?
DisneySeas has had an integrated resort for a few years and just opened it’s second integrated resort for Disneyland Tokyo (with around 500 rooms as well)… First in US maybe. First in word is stretched fanfair. That said still exciting to see this happening state side!
I think it amazing universal is gonna surpass Disney.universal is a better experience all around plus they are so much better to their employees.
