Until now, very little information was shared about the highly anticipated resort hotel, but Universal’s press release offers specifics about hotel amenities, architecture and design details. The Mediterranean-inspired hotel’s façade bears markings like famous Mediterranean basilicas, villas and other architectural landmarks.

One of the most notable amenities is a dedicated Epic Universe entrance off the lobby. That amenity is exclusive to Helios, while all Universal hotels give guests early park admission, free shuttle bus transportation to the theme parks and Universal CityWalk, resort-wide charging privileges and free merchandise delivery.
