Universal Orlando Resort is expanding its hotel offerings with the addition of two new properties, Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort, opening January 21 and February 25, 2025, respectively.

These hotels, developed by the Universal Creative team in partnership with Loews Hotels & Co, will offer guests a unique lodging experience themed around outer space, with a total of 1,500 guest rooms. Starting at a price of $147 per night for stays of four nights or more, these resorts aim to provide an affordable yet immersive experience close to Universal Orlando's attractions.


Watch the video below for a fly-through of Universal Stella Nova Resort.

The Universal Stella Nova Resort is designed with a calming theme of teals and purples, reflecting the vastness of the universe, while the Universal Terra Luna Resort features an earthy palette of greens and golds, inviting guests to explore unknown planetary environments. Both resorts will have double-queen guest rooms equipped with spaceship-styled windows, catering to guests seeking a space-themed retreat.



For dining, each resort will have its own set of cosmic-inspired food and beverage outlets, including quick service restaurants, pool bars and grills, and lobby bars offering specialty and classic cocktails. Guests can also enjoy a range of amenities such as resort-style pools, fitness centers, game and recreation rooms, and Universal Orlando Resort stores.

Guests of these hotels will benefit from exclusive theme park perks like Early Park Admission to certain Universal attractions, complimentary shuttle bus transportation, and more. Both resorts are conveniently located near Universal Epic Universe and other Universal Orlando theme parks, enhancing the overall guest experience. Reservations and vacation packages for both resorts are now available for booking.

I’ve watched multiple first day visits and posts. IMHO this: (1) looks like a good value for your money; (2) has a very consistent space theme of a level consistent with the price being paid; and (3) is more interesting and affordable than any new rooms at WDW - which are DVC. Will consider staying here when we visit, by which time all the new build issues will have been straightened out. On the new build issues, in the postings I’ve reviewed, what I don’t hear about is what or if Universal/Lowes took actions to make it right. If my hotel room never had hot water, I would expect something from the provider, like - changing rooms, food or other vouchers, points, a free night, or a full or partial refund. I’m curious to know what steps they’ve taken to address these, as that doesn’t come up.

I was at Stella Nova a little bit ago. Very solid beer selection in the lobby bar.

The tiling is great- but it's like putting expensive rims on your car which you don't get to see or enjoy while driving.

From the lobby bands I'd say the 80"s but overall it is the age of rock and roll

Is the time and place Hard Rock transports you to the 90s?

The theme here seems to be…white. I’m sure someone will like it.

I hope this is their last "basic/low themed" resort for a while. I can excuse this resort and Endless Summer as Universal needed to boost their room capacity, but they really need to diversify their themes for later resorts. I'd love to see them go back to building a value resort comparable to Cabana Bay or something more exotic like Portofino Bay or Royal Pacific.

Portofino, Hard Rock.........

Jon81uk30 days ago

Like Cabana Bay?

Fair enough I suppose I just wish universal would try a cool themed hotel that really transports me to a specific time and place

I mean... it kind of is, considering those two things are directly correlated. A more ambitious hotel would also be more expensive.

low price point isn’t an excuse for lack of ambition From both of them there is no excuse for the Polynesian tower and there is no excuse for this tiles are cool though

You do understand this is a value hotel well below any price point Disney offers?

Agent H31 days ago

Eh nice enough I suppose but this all looks kinda boring to me I don’t like it when Disney does bland hotels and I don’t want it from universal either
