The chic new look includes a complete upgrade of the bedding linen package, with new sheets, duvets, pillows and shams, as well as new carpeting, new wall paint and granite tops on the mini bars. New artwork of rock stars receiving gold and platinum albums has been added in each guest room. In addition, all suites feature tabletop stereos with an iPod docking station/clock radio and all club level rooms are outfitted with DVD players.

Hard Rock Hotel’s new room design also complements the sweeping mission-style architecture of the hotel’s exterior. The back story of the hotel is based upon the notion that it is the mansion of a former rock star who has amassed countless pieces of memorabilia during his years on the road and guests in the hotel get to live vicariously through him. Indeed, design elements in the new rooms were conceived to support the concept that every guest can live like a rock star during their stay.

Hard Rock Hotel is located just steps away from both Universal Studios and Universal’s Islands of Adventure and is the closest on-site hotel. Hard Rock Hotel and its sister properties – Portofino Bay Hotel and Royal Pacific Resort – are connected to both theme parks and CityWalk by a chain of scenic waterways. On-site hotel guests enjoy a variety of special theme park privileges including Universal Express ride access. Just by showing their valid hotel room key card, on-site hotel guests can bypass the regular attraction lines. This exclusive benefit is reserved for guests staying on-site at Loews Hotels at Universal Orlando.
