Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando is the most romantically themed and design-distinguished on-site hotel at Universal Orlando Resort, a property designed as a recreation of the Italian Riviera village of Portofino whose harbor-view piazza, bocce ball courts, and Tuscan-influenced architecture create an immersive Mediterranean resort atmosphere that is a deliberate and successful departure from the theme-park hotel formula. The Universal on-site benefits, including early park admission, complimentary transportation, and priority access, are shared across all Universal resort hotels, but Portofino Bay's premium positioning and Loews service quality make it the most upscale and atmospherically complete of the on-site options for groups that want a resort hotel experience with full Universal access. For planners building programs centered on Universal's entertainment ecosystem who want the most design-ambitious and romance-forward hotel on the resort campus, Portofino Bay is the most visually compelling choice available.
