About the Universal's Hard Rock Hotel

Named one of the "World's Best Places To Stay" in 2005 by Conde Nast's Gold List, it is hard to imagine going wrong with this hotel. Just minutes away from Universal Studios theme park and City walk, it is in the heart of the action. The rooms are clean and fairly roomy and the night life is spectacular.

Does HotelsByCity recommend this hotel?

This hotel is a lot of fun for the whole family. The rooms are comfortable, although perhaps a little tight around the computer desk area. It is a lot quieter than you would expect a Hard Rock hotel to be. It is also centered perfectly to enjoy both the sun and the Universal entertainment. The staff goes out of its way to make sure that your stay is one you will remember and recommend to your friends. Read our customer reviews?

Universal's Hard Rock Hotel Accommodations

There are several room styles to fit your needs. The Garden View and Pool rooms are comfortable and surprisingly quiet. But this hotel went a step beyond the ordinary with its other accommodations including kids suites, which are decorated with your children in mind. There is also the option to upgrade to the club level rooms where you will have access to complimentary continental breakfast and evening hors d'oeuvres, beer and wine, plus desserts to cap off your day.

Amenities offered

Just for staying in this hotel you get to slide right by the regular folks at the Universal Studios theme park. Forget regular lines as you are given an automatic fast pass to get on the rides. And when you are not at the park, enjoy one of their five restaurants or take a dip in their 12,000-square-foot pool with a sand beach, underwater stereo, interactive fountains, and 260-foot pool slide.
