Universal's Epic Universe Hotel Speculation

[Scott W.]

Yeah Universal doesn't want suicides or drunken idiots jumping down.
There will be a rooftop bar if I'm correct.

There will and it's probably going to be something special in terms of a quality bar experience mixed with the park view and a nighttime firework show. It's not doing anything groundbreaking but the combination is unique. The top floor will have a balcony area stretching almost the full length of the building on the park side.

There's also a function area with a kitchen. I'm not sure if it's going to be a ballroom, a restaurant when it's not or just extra seating and some bar food.

Lots of potential for cool things.

Apologies for the double post:

Blue = Presidential Suites
Red = Hospitality Suites
Purple = Family suites



I don't think the opposite side has any.

The green line is a 17ft elevation change from park level to lobby level. You can see this change more clearly to the far left of the building marked in green.

The rest of the rooms seem to be a mix of double queen and king (Mostly double queen)

Ground level to the spire is 185ft or 202ft above park level but should be able to avoid the red blinking light.

Curious, what are "Hospitality Suites"?

On the permits, each room has a code.

I just matched what I assume is the code to what Loews already offer.

Suites | Loews Royal Pacific Resort | Orlando

Island style rooms that are a mix of fun and practical. The rooms have great views of either the garden or the bay and are full of wonderful amenities.

Awesome details on room layouts above!

Photo does concern me on the pool situation though ... doubt they put it park side, but the back side will have a nice view of the Parking Structure

The pool will feel secluded and you probably won't even notice the parking structure or show building for the Monsters dark ride unless you're specifically looking for them.

. . . We hope.

I'm sure Universal will plant some bamboo, but it's a huge building and there's a service road in between that makes it difficult to plant any significant greenery or a berm.

Cabana Bay's main pool has this issue. Road behind pool area and then giant wall behind Volcano Bay. They themed the wall as bamboo on the other side of the street I believe, and have small fence behind restrooms... which coincidentally are in the exact same placement at back of pool area for this hotel too.

Yeah but a Volcano and thatched roofs are much nicer than a grey ride building lol

Not worried about the road, but the massive building will be hard to hide

The only concern I have with the pool is if they build the slide or not.

Let it go. It’s long gone.

 

[Ahmanet]

Endless Summer (cheapest hotels on property) and Aventura (no room even if they wanted one) are the only hotels without slides?

Helios not having a slide is crazy, better at least have a lazy river like Cabana.

You may want to sit down.

 

[Dancapt]

Royal Pacific has no slide as well.

I love the logos.

Should probably move discussion to an official thread no? Assuming this is effectively an official announcement?
