Walking from Universal Studio’s Hard Rock Hotel entrance to CityWalk (the entrance to Universal Studios Florida and Islands of Adventure) takes just 8 minutes. This is an on-site resort property and is the closest hotel within walking distance to Universal Studios situated just to the right of the Universal Studios Florida park entrance. One of the best hotels to stay at when visiting Universal Studios Orlando is the four-star Universal Studio’s Hard Rock Hotel. While walking this distance is possible, it’s incredibly hard in the heat and humidity Florida can experience – especially in the peak summer months. This is as a result of them being more than a 30-minute walk away. Note that there are other hotels that are within walking distance of the Universal Studios theme park that is not included on this list. However, I have gone ahead and walked from all of these hotels directly to the entrance of Universal Studios Orlando to ensure that the times and directions specified in this post are as accurate as possible.Īs such this list is listed in order with the closest hotel to the Universal Studios Resort at the top and that furthest away but still within the 30-minute time limit at the bottom. We’ve sadly not had the opportunity to stay in all of these hotels during our many visits to Universal Studios. While Orlando itself isn’t a very walkable city, you’ll be pleased to know that there are a number of hotels within a 30-minute walk of Universal CityWalk – the entrance to Universal Studios Florida and Universal’s Islands of Adventure. The accommodation options that support us not driving to Universal Studios include finding hotels with shuttle buses or transport to the parks, taking an Uber or a Lyft or my personal favourite, walking.
This combined with the fact that hiring a car and parking at both a hotel and at the Universal Studios Resort is increasing in cost year on year means that we often look for alternative accommodation options. However, personally, I’ve yet to pluck up the courage to do so. However, being that we’re from the UK we’ve never hired a car and drove during our visits.ĭriving a car during your visit to Orlando can provide you with a lot of freedom and flexibility. We’ve had the pleasure of visiting Universal Studios Orlando multiple times over the past decade.
