The first of three planned Epic Universe area hotels is now open at Universal Orlando Resort. Stella Nova, a space-themed hotel, is now open to the public ahead of the May 22nd opening of Epic Universe. While only Helios Grand is directly attached to Epic Universe, Stella Nova and the next-to-open Terra Luna hotels are considered Epic Universe adjacent, offering a walking path to Epic Universe when the theme park opens this Summer. Here’s a look at Stella Nova!

Stella Nova Resort at Universal Orlando

Universal Orlando Resort’s newest hotel, Universal Stella Nova Resort, is now officially open – transporting guests to the center of marvelous galaxies for a resort experience unlike anywhere else in the universe. Brought to life by the award-winning Universal Creative team and co-owned and operated by Loews Hotels & Co, the new hotel joins Universal Orlando’s current collection of magnificently themed hotels and offers 750 rooms, cosmic-inspired dining options and out-of-this-world amenities.

Designed to reflect the infinite vastness of the universe, Stella Nova Resort’s guest rooms comfortably sleep up to four guests in two queen beds and feature space station-styled windows – making this the ultimate escape for guests looking to rest amongst the stars.

The resort also offers a variety of unique dining options, including Cosmos Cafe and Market, Galaxy Bar and Galaxy Grill. Guests can also relax at the resort-style pool with a splash pad and fire pit, work out at the fitness center, unwind and enjoy fun activities together at the game room and browse the Universal Studios Store.

Stella Nova Resort is adjacent to the all-new Universal Epic Universe theme park opening May 22, 2025, and located just minutes away from Universal Orlando’s existing award-winning theme parks – Universal Studios Florida, Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Volcano Bay. Guests at Stella Nova Resort will also enjoy a walking path from the hotel to Epic Universe when the theme park opens.

Guests staying at Stella Nova Resort, or any of the other Universal Orlando hotels, can take advantage of exclusive theme park benefits, including Early Park Admission to Universal Volcano Bay and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida or The Wizarding World of Harry Potter – Hogsmeade at Universal Islands of Adventure up to one hour before the park opens (valid theme park admission required), complimentary shuttle bus transportation to the theme parks and Universal CityWalk, resort-wide charging privileges, complimentary merchandise delivery and more.
