Universal's Hard Rock Hotel - Property information

What to expect: This casually elegant, California mission–style hotel is designed in the spirit of a flamboyant rock star’s estate. It’s all about music—from the rock and roll emanating from a series of hidden speakers to the fountain of 42 bronze guitars that send water swirling skyward in a double helix. The place is peppered with rock memorabilia from a $31-million collection.
• Amenity highlights: The pool features a white-sand beach, a slide, underwater music, and play fountains that spout intermittently. Two spa pools, 10 cabanas, and a game area with lawn checkers, beach volleyball, and shuffleboard create a Southern California beach ambience. An activity center offers supervised programs for children every night. And room keys give guests the privilege of bypassing lines at selected attractions within Islands of Adventure® and Universal Studios®.
• Insider tip: Rock-and-roll fans will want to take a close look at the memorabilia on display, such as an outfit worn by Jimi Hendrix circa 1968, some of Elton John’s outrageous garb, and a bell-bottom jumpsuit that once adorned the body of Elvis Presley. Before arriving, check for upcoming concerts at the adjacent Hard Rock® Live concert venue.
