Overview

Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando is the flagship Premier resort, combining rock-and-roll energy with genuine luxury.

The resort's 650 rooms and suites are designed with a contemporary rock aesthetic — bold colors, custom furnishings, and in-room sound systems that let guests connect their devices to a premium speaker setup. The pool area features a 260-foot waterslide and an underwater sound system, making it one of the most popular resort pools in Orlando.

Dining at Hard Rock Hotel is anchored by The Kitchen, a full-service restaurant open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a menu that ranges from classic American comfort food to elevated entrees. The Velvet Bar is a sophisticated lounge ideal for pre-park cocktails or a nightcap after a long day of rides.
