At the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando, you enjoy an Italian style hotel, everyone gets to have an unforgettable time. The property is nestled along the water at Universal Orlando, just like the seaside town of Portofino, Italy it’s inspired by. And with details like cobblestone streets and towering Italian cypress trees, you’ll feel you’re actually in Europe. But the magic doesn’t stop there. Guests of the Italian-themed hotel in Orlando receive exclusive theme park benefits that will make your time at Universal Orlando even sweeter.  It starts with FREE Universal Express Unlimited™* ride access to SKIP THE REGULAR LINES in Universal Studios Florida™ and Universal’s Islands of Adventure™ - a benefit worth up to $89 per person, per day (valid theme park admission required. Not valid at Universal’s Volcano Bay). Plus, there’s Early Park Admission^† to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ and Universal’s Volcano Bay™, one hour before the theme park opens. After hours of excitement at the parks, come back to the hotel and take the time to sip an espresso or enjoy a creamy gelato in the Harbor Piazza as you listen to live music. It’s the perfect way to end the day.

The Portofino Bay Hotel is one of the best hotels for kids as it boasts three themed pools with water-slides and views of Universal Studios Orlando.

Since the hotel is located bayside, right on the grounds of Universal Orlando, the thrills couldn’t be any closer. The property has 750 luxurious guestrooms, including 45 suites—plus three stunning pools, including one decked out with a giant water slide that looks like a Roman aqueduct. Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel and in the pool areas means you’re never out of touch. On the event side, the 42,000-plus square feet of function space makes us a picture-perfect wedding location or the ideal choice for your next corporate function. Take time to dine in one of the authentic Italian restaurants or allow the hotel staff to bring you a cocktail poolside. Come and see why Conde Nast Traveler gave us their coveted Readers' Choice Award for Top 40 Resorts in Florida in 2012 and 2013. And why Travel + Leisure magazine honored us with its Top 50—Best Family Resorts in the U.S. and Canada accolade not once but four times.
