Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando
With its funky chic décor, the Hard Rock Hotel gives ordinary folks the chance to be treated like rock royalty. The resort is a virtual music museum, with rock 'n' roll memorabilia around every corner. Hard Rock Orlando features five on-site restaurants and bars, including the Velvet Bar, famous for its monthly live concerts.
One of the highlights of a stay at the Hard Rock Hotel is its 12,000-square-foot swimming pool, surrounded by a white sandy beach. The pool comes complete with a water slide and an underwater sound system that lets swimmers rock and splash the day away. Other poolside activities include ping pong, pool basketball and "dive-in movies" on select nights of the week.
