Pricing for the all-new Helios Grand Hotel at Universal Orlando’s Epic Universe has just been revealed, giving future guests a glimpse of what they can expect to pay for a stay at this luxurious, Mediterranean-inspired retreat. Starting on October 22, bookings for the Helios Grand will open for stays beginning on May 22, 2025, coinciding with the grand opening of Universal’s Epic Universe.
According to Universal Orlando’s hotel comparison feature, guests can expect pricing to start at $293 per night (plus tax) based on a 4-night stay. This places the Helios Grand in the same Signature Collection as other top-tier resorts, like the Hard Rock Hotel and Sapphire Falls. However, there’s a key difference to keep in mind: while Helios Grand offers a luxurious experience, it does not include Universal’s Express Pass Unlimited, similar to Sapphire Falls.
By contrast, the Hard Rock Hotel, which includes Express Pass Unlimited with your stay, starts at $386 per night (plus tax). For those looking for a more budget-friendly option within the Signature Collection, Sapphire Falls starts at $222 per night (plus tax), also based on a 4-night stay.
The Helios Grand Hotel promises to be an extraordinary escape, rising above the waters of Celestial Park at Universal’s Epic Universe. With a Mediterranean-inspired design, guests will find themselves surrounded by stunning celestial patterns and constellations throughout the hotel. The hotel’s exceptional dining options, including the three-meal Flora Taverna and Bar Helios with its creative tapas and 360° views of the park, add an extra layer of elegance to your stay.
For those who enjoy relaxing poolside, the zero-entry pool and hot tub will be a focal point of the Helios Grand, perfect for enjoying a frozen cocktail or a meal in the sun. As an added perk, Helios Grand guests will have a dedicated entrance to Universal’s Epic Universe, making it easier than ever to explore all the thrills of the new theme park.
Stay tuned for more details as reservations open soon! With pricing revealed and bookings starting on October 22, Universal’s Helios Grand Hotel is shaping up to be the perfect sunny retreat for your 2025 Epic Universe adventure.

Universal Orlando Resort has officially announced that the much-anticipated Epic Universetheme park will open to guests on May 22, 2025, with sales of multi-day tickets and packages starting on October 22!

How to Train Your Dragon – Isle of Berk: Based on the beloved How to Train Your Dragon films, this land will transport guests to the Viking village of Berk. Highlights include a thrilling roller coaster that takes you on a ride through the skies with dragons, a live stage show, and a dragon racing trainer attraction. With flying dragons and fire-breathing fun, this land offers excitement for the whole family.
Dark Universe: Enter a shadowy world where Universal’s Classic Monsters come to life like never before. Dark Universe will feature groundbreaking attractions that pay homage to iconic creatures such as Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Mummy. This land will feature Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experiment which promises to be the most spine-chilling attraction Universal has ever built!
Celestial Park: At the center of Epic Universe lies Celestial Park, a cosmic and lush landscape filled with tree-lined walkways, dancing fountains, and otherworldly wonders. This land will serve as a tranquil, sensory-filled oasis, offering guests a journey through the stars, with plenty of surprises hidden among its natural beauty. We cannot wait to hop aboard the Stardust Racers and race through the Cosmos.
