Striking Hotel with California Mission-style architecture located at Universal Studios Escape Theme Park.
Located at Universal Orlando adjacent to the Portofino Bay, the Hard Rock Hotel takes its cues from rock ’n’ roll culture just like the Hard Rock Cafes. There’s more than $1 million worth of memorabilia on display throughout the property. Outside there’s an enormous pool with a sand beach, 260-foot water slide and underwater sound system. Alongside the faux beach are the hotel’s “rock ’n’ roll cabanas” themed to aquatic songs like Yellow Submarine and Musiquarium. Inside, the Velvet Bar hosts “Velvet Sessions” on the last Thursday of each month with notable acts that have included Eddie Money, The Fixx, Foreigner and Joan Jett. There’s a Palm Steakhouse on premises, plus all of the restaurants of Universal City Walk (see Nightlife) are a short ride away by shuttle boat. One of top Orlando hotels, the rooms at the Hard Rock are moderately spacious and decked out with contemporary furnishings and rock ’n’ roll art.
