Loews Portofino Bay Universal Orlando Hotel Shuttles

A lavish cabana-themed choice for families looking to make their temporary home an oasis of refined elegance, the Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando brings near instant access to the world-famous theme park alongside upscale restaurants and a luxury spa. Colorful boutique rugs are included each room, as are textured loungers and wooden desks, elevated suites offering kitchenettes and balconied views of the hotel’s courtyard as well. Shuttles to Universal Orlando and early entry to the park are included as exclusive theme park perks, as are fast-track passes. Public transportation is limited to the courtyard’s river boat launch, while private vehicle rentals include sedans, vans and SUVs perfect for seeing vast city outskirts. A handful of meet-and-greet services make drop offs ideal for professionals as well, popular options including taxis to Orlando International Airport as well as stretched limousines ideal for luxury lifts to the world-famous Arnold Palmer’s Bay Hill Club & Lodge.

Look forward to glamorous Italian eats at BiCE Ristorante Orlando as well as exfoliating afternoons at the hotel’s Mandara Spa - the spa opens up to a breezy courtyard space, as does a Family Art Photography + Print Shop’s cool 30-minute session that makes getting a quick souvenir a breeze. A handful of nearby cafes and restaurants also make the afternoon easy to take care of, whether it be the unique anime-themed space of Soupa Saiyan or a wide variety of family favorites like Carrabba’s Italian Grill and Golden Corral Buffet. Nearby shopping opportunities are also available at the Orlando International Premium Outlets, home to an array of big brand stores at bargain prices, while just as close to the outskirts of Universal Orlando are the spacious trails and open-air ponds of Shadow Bay Park.
