Universal unwraps some details for 2 Epic Universe hotels
Universal Orlando has released more details about Stella Nova and Terra Luna resorts, two of the hotels designed for the under-construction theme park Epic Universe. They’re all scheduled to open in 2025.
Thursday’s announcement centered primarily on food and beverage outlets and the continuation of the intergalactic theming of the resorts.
The lobby bars will be called Nova Bar at Stella Nova and Luna Bar at Terra Luna.
Cosmos Cafe and Market will be the quick-service restaurant at Stella Nova, while its companion eatery over at Terra Luna will be called Omega Cafe and Market. Both will be have “made-to-order American classic” fare and be open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Universal said. They’ll also have grab-and-go selections.
Each resort will have walk-up bars and grills. It’s Galaxy Bar and Galaxy Grill at Stella Nova, then Moonrise Bar and Moonrise Grill at Terra Luna. Menu items will include hamburgers, quesadillas and salads, Universal said.
Both will have swimming pools covering almost 10,000 square feet. Other resort amenities will include fitness centers, game rooms and recreation rooms. Both resorts will have stores selling merchandise and necessities.
The resorts will have 750 rooms apiece. The price point will start at $147 per night, based on a four-night stay, the Universal news release said. Construction for the Terra Luna and Stella Nova resorts is visible along Universal Boulevard, just east of the Orange County Convention Center. Their brightly colored, shiny facades reflect interstellar theming.
Thursday’s announcement did not include information about Helios Grand Hotel, a 500-room resort that Universal touts as being inside Epic Universe’s Celestial Park area.
