Przegląd

Loews Portofino Bay Hotel offers Mediterranean charm in the Universal Orlando Resort. Taking inspiration from the picturesque village of Portofino in Italy, this hotel is awash with pastel-coloured buildings, cobblestone pathways and Cypress-lined grounds. Sip coffee in the harbourside piazza square, listen to opera singers performing in the evenings, and savour traditional Italian cuisine at various on-site restaurants. As part of your stay, breeze into one of the Universal theme parks up to an hour early with Early Park Admission* (Valid theme park admission required. Select attractions). You'll also enjoy resort-wide charge-to-your room privileges, and complimentary merchandise delivery service*. What’s more, with free †Universal Express Unlimited ride access you can skip the regular lines at participating rides and attractions in Universal Studios Florida and Universal Islands of Adventure (Valid theme park admission required).

Walking paths connect the hotel to Universal Islands of Adventure and Universal Studios Florida. Complimentary water taxis will stop at Universal CityWalk or a shuttle bus runs directly to the parks and Universal CityWalk. Loews Portofino Bay Hotel is around 16 miles from Orlando International Airport.

Standard rooms are elegant and spacious. They are decorated with white walls and cream furnishings which are topped with terracotta marble. Beds are dressed in quality linens, while rooms are equipped with a Keurig coffee maker and mini-fridge. In the bathrooms, you will find a double vanity sink, bathtub or shower – and luxury touches such as cotton bathrobes and branded toiletries. Ask for a room in the West Guest Wing for a prime location right next to the water taxi dock, or book an Illumination’s Despicable Me Kids' Suite, appealing to families with younger children. Governatore Suites enjoy further amenities such as a whirlpool tub, wet bar and kitchenette – and the opulent Presidente Suite is complete with an expansive outdoor terrace.

Other facilities

On the property, unwind around one of the three swimming pools. The main Beach Pool is ideal for families since it’s home to a Roman aqueduct-themed water slide, a sandy beach, poolside activities, a children’s pool and two whirlpools. The other two pools maintain a more tranquil, adult vibe: there’s the more exclusive Villa Pool where you can hire private cabanas, and the lush Hillside Pool which is quietly tucked away on the edge of the property (although it remains close to the hotel facilities).

Health conscious visitors can make use of the hotel’s extensive walking and jogging paths.

Everyone can look forward to the nightly Musica della Notte performances (weather permitting), whereby classical opera is sung live in the harbourside piazza.

On-site parking is available at a charge.

Dining information

Dining mainly revolves around Italian cuisine at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel. Trattoria del Porto is a full-service restaurant which serves a buffet breakfast, followed by Italian inspired dishes for lunch and dinner. You can dine indoors or head outside to admire views across the scenic bay.

Stop by Sal's Market Deli to dine on Italian staples such as home-made pizzas and delicatessen sandwiches. There are marble-topped booths inside and a picnic area outside on the piazza. Otherwise, try out the Splendido Bar & Grill where you can order a wide range of drinks and classic bar food such as nachos, wings and burgers. Mama Della's Ristorante provides a homely, casual setting with wandering musicians. The a la carte menu here features classic Italian fare, with a wide choice of pasta dishes. The more elegant Bice Ristorante offers Italian fine-dining and specialises in Northern Italian cuisine. The full menu lists tempting antipasti, salads, and home-made pasta dishes – as well as a selection of meat, fish, and vegetarian options. If you have room, indulge in delicious desserts, handcrafted by the pastry chef.

At Gelateria, relish artisan ice creams, milkshakes and biscotti. You can also order hot drinks and snacks at the Caffe Espresso, located next door. Later, watch the sun set over the harbour at The Thirsty Fish wine bar, admiring the twinkling harbour lights and listening to live music (available on some evenings). A full menu is also available via the 24-hour room service.
