DoubleTree by Hilton at the Entrance to Universal Orlando
Family comfort steps from Universal Orlando and Volcano Bay
About this hotel
Families basing themselves here for a slides-packed break at Universal's Volcano Bay will appreciate the hotel's prime location directly across from Universal Orlando Resort. A short walk gets you to the park entrance, making early starts and mid-day breaks a breeze without needing a car or shuttle. The hotel features a refreshing junior Olympic-size pool, perfect for a cool down after a day of thrills. Younger children will love the dedicated kids' splash zone, offering gentle water play. For older kids and teens, the proximity to Volcano Bay means endless opportunities for high-speed slides and wave pools. After a full day of aquatic adventures, family suites provide ample space to relax and recharge, ensuring everyone gets a good night's sleep before another day of fun.

Why guests love itSitting directly opposite Universal Orlando Resort, this DoubleTree turns Volcano Bay into a short hop rather than a drive. Back at the hotel, a kids' splash zone keeps toddlers busy while older children use the junior Olympic-size pool, and family suites give a little more room. An activity desk and a Universal Orlando Partner ticket desk on site simplify planning. An 8.2 rating from more than 3,300 reviews confirms a solid, family-oriented base.
