Universal Studios Orlando Preferred Hotels

Universal Studios Orlando has four resort categories. In order of price points and luxury, we have premier, preferred, prime value hotels, and value hotels. No matter which one you choose, you will be happy because all of their team members work hard to immerse you in the experience and meet all of your needs. Each hotel category is unique because of the amenities, and each hotel has its own special vibe, so let’s look at them now, so you can figure out which one speaks to you!

Preferred Hotels

Exclusive Benefits

If you are looking to get a lot of the benefits of a premier resort with less of the price tag, the preferred category is the way to go. There are plenty of exclusive perks, and the Loews Sapphire Falls Resort is a fun and relaxing vibe complete with all the amenities from home. They also have an extremely friendly and helpful set of team members, so every day is full of fun!

Early Park Admission
Enter one hour early to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Volcano Bay! This will help skip lines and beat the crowds. 
Note: There are Wizarding Worlds at each Universal Park, and it varies by day whether you will have admission to Universal Studios Orlando or Islands of Adventure. They will post it well in advance, and if you stay multiple days, there is a good chance you will get to do both with this exclusive perk!
Water Taxis and Shuttles
The premier hotels are the closest to the Universal Studios parks, and these taxi services are complimentary for premier hotel guests!  You can head directly to CityWalk or either of the Universal parks by water, or you can choose to go by land, but either way, you will get there quickly, efficiently, and complimentary.  Volcano Bay is only accessible by land, but it is also complimentary. 
Pay with Room Key
Guests can use their room key to charge expenses on Universal property and in the resort. The credit card is linked to the room key for convenience.  Besides the last day of your stay, you get complimentary delivery of all merchandise to your hotel. This is awesome because you do not have to tote all your purchases with you around the parks!  It usually takes about 24 hours for your merchandise to be delivered, so they do not do it on the last day because there is not time for it to get to you.  Delivery ends one hour before park close, so be sure to shop before then! (Weapon like items do not qualify for this service) 
Amenities
Complimentary wifi accessible from rooms and surrounding areas (Premium Plus option for higher speeds and optimization - added fee), Coffee maker, in-room safe, mini-fridge, hair dryers, bath robes, Separate bath and double sink area in some rooms, Fitness Center, Walking and jogging paths, The premier and preferred hotels are pet-friendly, there are specialized activities exclusive to hotel guests
