Universal Orlando's Aventura Hotel to Open August 2018

Oct 08, 2017

In August 2018, Universal Orlando Resort will open its sixth property. Universal’s Aventura Hotel will feature 600 rooms, including 13 kids’ suites. The 16-story glass tower will provide another value-priced option at Universal Orlando, just steps away from all three theme parks. Aventura guests will also enjoy early admission to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Universal’s Volcano Bay, complimentary on-site transportation, car rental facilities, complimentary Wi-Fi access and a pool area with a kids’ splash zone and a fire pit.

Universal CityWalk will be easily accessible via walking paths and shuttles, and an on-site fast-casual food hall will offer five cuisine options. Plus, Aventura features the destination’s first-ever rooftop bar and grill with panoramic views of the parks.

“At Universal Orlando’s first and only rooftop bar, you can watch Krakatau — the 200-foot-tall centerpiece of Universal’s Volcano Bay — illuminate with blazing lava while enjoying small plates and cocktails,” said Christina Heflin, public relations representative for Universal Orlando Resort.

Guest bookings made before Sept. 30, for stays Aug. 1 to Dec. 20, 2018, receive one $50 hotel dining credit per room for four-plus nights and $100 for seven-plus nights.
