The allure of Mediterranean hospitality is experienced at Universal Orlando with the Portofino Bay Hotel, a Loews Hotel, which opened in September 1999. Featuring 750 elegantly appointed rooms, the Portofino Bay is imbued with the ambiance and romantic harborage of the Italian seaside village of Portofino.
The Portofino Bay, the first on-site hotel at Universal, creates the nucleus of the ideal destination resort for the 21st century known as Universal Orlando, which includes two distinctively different theme parks, Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure, as well as Orlando's hottest entertainment complex, CityWalk. n addition to an imaginative setting, the property offers Smart Rooms. Other amenities include eight restaurants and lounges, a 10,600 square-foot health spa, three swimming pools, two bocce ball courts and a full-service business center. Convention facilities include 42,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, including a 15,000 square-foot Grand Ballroom and a 7,500 square-foot Junior Ballroom.

 

Amenities

Extensive not only describes the service but also the amenities. There are the theme park benefits, including free water-taxi transportation, early admission, "Universal Express" access to park attractions and priority seating at restaurants. In addition, electronic guest keys double as a charge card, allowing you to conveniently purchase food and merchandise from any of the Universal Studios Escape™ vendors. Even a separate child’s card is available with pre-set spending limits. We also provide pagers for teenagers, giving them the freedom to explore on their own without being completely out of contact with their families. Contained within our property are three pools with whirlpools, an 11,000-square-foot spa and fitness center, a bicycle and job path, upscale shops, and tons of supervised activities for children.
