Universal Studios Hotels Orlando
Ready for the thrills and chills and movie-worthy effects that only Universal Studios can offer? You’ll be closer to the fun at the theme parks when you stay at a hotel near the park itself. If you want to stay close to Universal as possible, there are a few things you should consider when you choose your hotel:
Nightly rates for Universal Studios hotels tend to be 20% higher in price than similar hotels located near Disney World. There is simply not as much competition in the Universal area so the rooms will command a higher rate.
An offsite hotel can help you save. What does this mean for you? All of the hotels that we feature and that are listed here offer FREE shuttle to the two theme parks at Universal Studios.
If you are looking for great value, consider staying at a Disney hotel in the Lake Buena Vista area. This neighborhood is less than 6 miles from Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure.
