Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando Completes $40 Million Renovation, Debuts New Rooms

KTGY’s California‑sunset aesthetic anchors the refresh as the hotel adds Unity by Hard Rock loyalty rewards to its music‑centric experience.

Overview

  • The multi‑year project refreshed guestrooms and suites along with The Kitchen restaurant, the Velvet Bar, and the building façade.
  • Design firm KTGY introduced a palette of oranges, blues, and ambers with driftwood accents and handmade macramé to align interiors with the mission‑style exterior.
  • Signature touches remain, including record‑inspired artwork, mirrors marked with celebrity heights, and the Sound of Your Stay options such as playlists, vinyl players, and in‑room guitars.
  • Registered guests receive Universal Express Unlimited access and Early Park Admission, with walking paths, water taxis, and shuttles to all parks including Epic Universe.
  • The property now participates in Unity by Hard Rock, allowing guests to earn and redeem rewards across participating Hard Rock locations.
