Universal Orlando Resort is expanding its hotel offerings with the addition of two new properties, Universal Stella Nova Resort and Universal Terra Luna Resort, opening January 21 and February 25, 2025, respectively.

These hotels, developed by the Universal Creative team in partnership with Loews Hotels & Co, will offer guests a unique lodging experience themed around outer space, with a total of 1,500 guest rooms. Starting at a price of $147 per night for stays of four nights or more, these resorts aim to provide an affordable yet immersive experience close to Universal Orlando's attractions.


Watch the video below for a fly-through of Universal Stella Nova Resort.

The Universal Stella Nova Resort is designed with a calming theme of teals and purples, reflecting the vastness of the universe, while the Universal Terra Luna Resort features an earthy palette of greens and golds, inviting guests to explore unknown planetary environments. Both resorts will have double-queen guest rooms equipped with spaceship-styled windows, catering to guests seeking a space-themed retreat.



For dining, each resort will have its own set of cosmic-inspired food and beverage outlets, including quick service restaurants, pool bars and grills, and lobby bars offering specialty and classic cocktails. Guests can also enjoy a range of amenities such as resort-style pools, fitness centers, game and recreation rooms, and Universal Orlando Resort stores.

Guests of these hotels will benefit from exclusive theme park perks like Early Park Admission to certain Universal attractions, complimentary shuttle bus transportation, and more. Both resorts are conveniently located near Universal Epic Universe and other Universal Orlando theme parks, enhancing the overall guest experience. Reservations and vacation packages for both resorts are now available for booking.

There were price increases resort-wide on F&B options a few weeks ago... I wonder if Stella Nova just hasn't updated yet.

With Terra Luna opening today, I decided to check out the menus that were published today vs that of Stella Nova and noticed a few changes. These comparisons will be as direct to item name and I will make all clarifications where I can. Luna Bar: • Hard Seltzers are 0.50 higher than Stella Nova across the board. • Angry Orchard is $11 at Terra Luna vs $9 at Stella Nova. • Canned Beers are up to $1 more then Stella Nova. Terra Luna is $10-12, Stella Nova is $10-11. • Daft Beers are up to $1 more then Stella Nova. Terra Luna is $11.50-13, Stella Nova is $11-12. • Cocktails at Stella Nova are $16 flat, Terra Nova they vary between $14-$18 Dollars • Energy Drinks are $0.25 more, Fuji Water is $0.50 more. • Wine, oh this one is a doozy for you. Prices differ between the two hotels by being 7% cheaper to being 39% more. Cosmos Café and Market: -- Breakfast -- • Steel Cut Oatmeal where the difference is Almonds vs Walnuts and dried fruits vs caramelized bananas. Terra Nova is $8 vs $5.50. • Greek Yogurt Parfait is $8 vs $7. -- Lunch/Dinner -- • Quesadilla is cheaper at $11. HOWEVER If you want to add Chicken to it, a Chicken Quesadilla is $17 since the chicken add on is $6 more. Stella Nova, a Chicken Quesadilla is $15 • A Calzone is $15 vs $14 at Stella Nova. • Wings are $14 vs $13 • The Kids Menu item, "Very Cheesy Mac-n-Cheese" is $10 vs $9 at Stella Nova *Stella Nova's Dinner menu is at parity to Terra Luna* • The New York Cheese Cake is cheaper at $9 vs $10. Moonrise Bar/Moonrise Grill • Wings are $14 vs $13 • Terra Burger is $0.50 more then the Stella Burger • An Ice Cream Sandwich is $8 vs $9 at Stella Nova, only difference is that Stella Nova as "SN" in the name. • Spirit-Free cocktails or in this case, Mocktails are $12 flat vs being priced at $8-10 at Stella Nova. This represents an increase of 20-50% See for yourself: Stella Nova https://cosmos-cafe-market.constantcontactsites.com/ https://galaxy-bar-galaxy-grill.constantcontactsites.com/ https://nova-bar.constantcontactsites.com/ Terra Luna: https://omega-cafe-market.constantcontactsites.com/ https://moonrise-bar-moonrise-grill.constantcontactsites.com/ https://luna-bar.constantcontactsites.com/

Stella Nova definitely will and it's already being advertised as a perk for that hotel. I'm not too sure about Terra Luna since you'd have to cross the Kirkman extension including that weird roundabout thing. I suppose at some point they could build something similar to the bridge between Cabana Bay and Sapphire Falls and allow a walking path that way.

I could see it happening. They're not far at all.

I read on the hotel pages for these on the universal site, it says these hotels will have the option of walking to epic.

I’ve watched multiple first day visits and posts. IMHO this: (1) looks like a good value for your money; (2) has a very consistent space theme of a level consistent with the price being paid; and (3) is more interesting and affordable than any new rooms at WDW - which are DVC. Will consider staying here when we visit, by which time all the new build issues will have been straightened out. On the new build issues, in the postings I’ve reviewed, what I don’t hear about is what or if Universal/Lowes took actions to make it right. If my hotel room never had hot water, I would expect something from the provider, like - changing rooms, food or other vouchers, points, a free night, or a full or partial refund. I’m curious to know what steps they’ve taken to address these, as that doesn’t come up.

I was at Stella Nova a little bit ago. Very solid beer selection in the lobby bar.

The tiling is great- but it's like putting expensive rims on your car which you don't get to see or enjoy while driving.

From the lobby bands I'd say the 80"s but overall it is the age of rock and roll

Is the time and place Hard Rock transports you to the 90s?
