Universal Orlando is confirming that the Universal Helios Grand Hotel, adjacent to the future epic Universe theme park, is open to guests.
The 500-room resort’s debut is in the current preview phase and may appear to have come early as the opening is being promoted, similar to the opening of Epic, which will be officially released on May 22nd.
The Mediterranean styling of Helios Grand is seen from inside the theme park standing in the distance in the Heavenly Park area. The hotel has its own dedicated entrance to the epic, sandwiched between the Dark Universe and the magical world of Harry Potter.
