Standard 2 Queen Bed Room
The 500 rooms available will include Standard, Club level, and Suite rooms. Standard rooms will continue the Mediterranean theming as either 2 queen beds, king bed, or deluxe 2 queen beds. Club-level rooms will have a standard 2 queen bed or deluxe 2 queen bed configuration with exclusive access to the Club lounge. Suites will be available as king, celestial, hospitality, presidential, or How to Train You Dragon.
Helios will feature 2 primary dining locations in the hotel: Flora Taverna and Aurora Market. Flora Taverna will serve as the full-service dining location for the hotel. The menu will feature a Mediterranean-styled breakfast, lunch, and dinner, complete with a pizza oven, gyros station, and open grills. If you would rather eat a fast snack instead of a sit-down location, the Aurora Market has you covered. This quick service location will serve a little of everything from coffee to salads to cakes and will surely be a must for anyone on the run.

Aurora Market
Additional Dining includes the Bar Helios and Lotus Lagoon. Bar Helios, as the name suggests, will be the main location for alcoholic beverages. According to the Universal Orlando website, the bar will also serve ‘comfort food’ such as burgers, seafood, and anti-pasta. Moving outside to the pool, the Lotus Lagoon is a full-service open-air dining location designed for ease. Ordering at this restaurant caters to the consumer as you can order without leaving your cabana.

After you fuel up, it’s time to hit the park. With a stay at the Helios Grand Hotel, you not only get an exclusive entrance to Epic Universe, but you also gain early entry to the theme parks, free transportation, room key charging, and the ability to send your new souvenirs directly to your hotel.
Don’t want to leave the hotel? I don’t blame you. Enjoy a dip in the zero-entry pool located next to the Lotus Lagoon. Don’t want to get wet? Enjoy the fitness center or hotel game room.
