Overview

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel is the crown jewel of Universal Orlando's resort collection, transporting guests to the sun-drenched harbor village of Portofino, Italy.

The hotel's three pools — including the Beach Pool with its Roman aqueduct waterslide — are among the most beautifully designed resort pools in Florida. The Hillside Pool and Villa Pool offer quieter alternatives for guests seeking a more serene experience.

Dining at Portofino Bay is anchored by Bice Ristorante, an outpost of the acclaimed international Italian restaurant group, alongside Trattoria del Porto for casual family dining and the Thirsty Fish bar on the harbor. The hotel's Mandara Spa offers a full menu of treatments in a tranquil setting.
