Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando

The Loews Portofino Bay Hotel is one of the best, if not the best, on-site hotels at the Universal Orlando Resort. Originally opened in 1999 as part of a major expansion to Universal, the 750-room Portofino Bay Hotel has a unique Italian design / theming transporting guests to the Portofino harbor on the Italian Riviera. This full service resort is among our favorite Universal on-site hotels as it has an amazing style and theming. Rooms along Portofino Bay’s Harbor Piazza have some of the best views at the Universal Orlando Resort. In addition, the hotel features multiple pools areas, exceptional dining options and Universal’s only on-site hotel spa. The Portofino Bay Hotel is managed by Loews Hotels and is a Universal top tier “Premier Hotels & Resorts” which means has the resorts highest level of amenities, dining venues and service.

Universal's Portofino Bay Hotel is a stunning escape that feels like a slice of Italy! The resort boasts beautiful architecture, luxurious rooms, and an incredible pool area with sandy beaches. Guests enjoy exclusive perks, including water taxi transport and Universal Express Passes, making it a fantastic base for theme park adventures. The food options are plentiful and exquisite! I was blown away by this hotel; it truly exceeded all my expectations!

Probably the most beautiful hotel I have ever seen. The bay is absolutely gorgeous and a perfect place to relax, take pics, and spend the best vacation ever. It is on the pricier side, but the Universal Express passes that come with it more than make up for it.

Just the most elevated hotel experience we've ever had at a theme park! Beautifully themed, this resort comes with a Starbucks on-site, photo ops galore, a serenade in the evening and boat transportation to the Universal Orlando parks.
