Overview
The Hard Rock Hotel is designed with laid back relaxation in mind. Casual is definitely the cornerstone of the resort - colorful and funky furniture combined with a multi-million music memorabilia collection make it a comfortable and entertaining retreat for rockers of all ages. Orlando's coolest hotel. Activities vary throughout the year but there is always something interesting going on at the hotel. The Hard Rock contains 650 guest rooms 4,000 sq. ft. of meeting and function space, three restaurants and lounges, shops, fitness center, large pool with underwater audio system and special theme park benefits. Including Universal Express - do not wait in line at theme parks with the general public.

Perfect - but Know What to Expect!
 | | Overall rating: |  | Value rating : |  |
I've been fortunate to stay at many of the Disney luxury resorts and all 3 of the Universal Loews properties. Hard Rock is my family's #1 choice, but I've noticed that user reviews either give it a 5 or a 1. I hope this review will explain why.
First, it is all about kids. It looks quiet and shaded and the Hard Rock name suggests a hipper crowd, but it is all about families with kids. If you're looking for a quiet sunset pool experience, go to Portofino. We find it attracts a lot of foreign tourists who stay for a week or two and enjoy meeting these families each time we go.
Second, if anything rocks at the hotel, it's the staff. There is music, but I've got to say they sell you the music extras but delivery is a sometime thing. My kids love the sample CDs, but after 4 visits we still haven't seen the aging rock star cooking breakfast. However, Hard Rock's staff is young, professional and as friendly as they come.
