Universal Studios hotels and hotels near Universal Studios give the Orlando visitor something different. Since Universal Studios is located 9 miles North of Disney World and closer to Downtown Orlando, there has not been nearly as many hotels built near Universal Studios as there are those catering to the Disney World crowd. Do not let this deter you, the Universal Studios hotels are all relatively new and all offer great hotel amenities.

Since there is not much competition amongst hotels near Universal Studios the nightly rates tend to be a little bit higher. However, you can walk from any Universal Studios hotel to the theme park, which saves you money on the daily parking fees at the theme park.

Special Note: The Mall of Millenia, Orlando's largest mall which houses Orlando's most excluesive stores, is only a few minutes drive from all Universal hotels.

Orlando Portofino Bay Hotel: Imagine you were at the sun splashed shores of the Italian Riviera…if so, you would experience the same atmosphere that the Loews folks have presented at the Portofino Bay Hotel. This resort is a AAA Four Diamond Award Winner as a luxury hotel. Each of the 750 rooms are designed around the luxury of a fine European establishment.  Each room features custom duvet covers with 100% Goose Down inserts. You want amenities you have got them here. Cotton Signature Bathrobes are in each bath. Each oversized room offers a view, choose between the Garden View or the Bay view rooms.
