Resort Highlights: Myth Meets Modern Luxury

Universal’s Grand Helios Hotel feels like stepping into a mythological realm—where solar motifs, contemporary architecture, and upscale details come together in a radiant, sun-inspired design. From grand archways to celestial art, everything here is both elegant and imaginative.

The rooms are a dream: modern, spacious, and thoughtfully designed with views of Epic Universe theme park, resort pools, or lush gardens. Whether you’re a couple, a family, or a solo traveler, you’ll find comfort and sophistication at every turn.

VIP Access to Epic Universe: Skip the Lines, Start the Fun

Here’s the best part: staying at Grand Helios gives you access to an exclusive security entrance into Universal’s Epic Universe—just for hotel guests. No long lines. No crowds. You can walk directly into the park from your hotel, saving valuable time and energy.

You’ll also receive Early Park Admission, which lets you experience select rides and attractions before the general public. This perk alone adds huge value to your stay—perfect for early risers and ride lovers alike.

Dining Delights: From Grab & Go to Gourmet

Grand Helios is a food lover’s paradise, with a variety of dining options to suit every craving:

• Flora Taverna– Upscale, elegant, and globally inspired. Think seafood, premium steaks, and fresh Mediterranean flavors.
• Aurora Market – Quick, tasty meals to fuel your park day. Great for breakfast or snacks on the go.
• Bar Helios– Located on the top floor of the resort, this offers stunning views of Epic Universe with a delicious appetizer and cocktail menu.
• Lotus Lagoon – A poolside bar and grill with handcrafted cocktails and shareable plates—ideal for relaxing after a day of adventure.
