Universal Stella Nova Resort
About this hotel
Universal Stella Nova Resort offers a distinct base within the Universal Orlando Resort, defined by its clean, retro-futuristic aesthetic. The property balances functional design with a bright, cosmic-themed atmosphere, making it a reliable choice for families who prioritise convenience and proximity to the theme parks without the premium price tag. The resort’s personality is unpretentious and upbeat. The interiors are purposefully styled to evoke a sense of space exploration, creating a fun, immersive environment that appeals particularly to children and those who enjoy a modern, thematic aesthetic. The ambience is lively and communal, with guests gathering in the vibrant public spaces after a day of thrill-seeking. For those looking to maximise their time in the parks, the resort provides an efficient home base. The central focus is the outdoor space, where two zero-entry pools act as the social hub for relaxation. Whether you are grabbing a quick bite before an early start at Universal Studios or unwinding in the evening with a drink, the layout is designed for easy navigation. It is an ideal spot for families or groups of friends who intend to spend the majority of their day experiencing the Orlando attractions and need a straightforward, well-maintained, and well-connected place to recharge. The combination of shuttle services and thematic design ensures that the excitement of the Universal resort experience continues long after you leave the park gates.
Why we love it
Seamless Park Access
With continuous shuttle services connecting the resort directly to Universal’s theme parks and CityWalk, getting around is straightforward. This removes the stress of navigating Orlando traffic or parking, allowing families to move seamlessly between their hotel room and the attractions throughout the day.
Dual Zero-Entry Pools
The two zero-entry pools are the highlight of the resort’s leisure facilities. Because the entry to the water is gradual, they are exceptionally accessible for younger children and non-confident swimmers, while providing a refreshing spot for adults to cool off under the Florida sun.
Family-Focused Accommodation
The resort offers dedicated Kids' Suite rooms, a thoughtful inclusion for families. These rooms provide parents with a bit more breathing space while ensuring children have their own designated area, making for a much more comfortable stay when travelling with younger members of the party.
Distinctive Thematic Style
The retro-futuristic theme gives the resort a distinct character that feels immersive without being overwhelming. From the bright colours in the lobby to the curated design elements throughout, the hotel maintains a fun, high-energy aesthetic that keeps the holiday spirit alive outside of the parks.
Convenient On-site Dining
With the Cosmos Cafe and Market, Galaxy Bar, and Galaxy Grill, you have options for everything from a quick morning coffee to a relaxed evening meal. Having diverse dining and grab-and-go choices on-site is invaluable when you are heading out for an early morning or returning late.
Dedicated Games Room
Included for guests is a games room, which serves as an excellent retreat during downtime. It provides a reliable space for kids to burn off extra energy in the evenings or for the family to enjoy some friendly competition after a long day of walking.
