Guests staying at Universal Stella Nova Resort or Universal Terra Luna Resort will have access to the same exclusive theme park benefits available at Universal's current Prime Value hotels, including early park admission, complimentary transportation and resortwide charging privileges. They both also share an ultramodern, out-of-this-world design theme.
Universal will release more information about the official on-sale dates and how to book vacation packages at a later date. For now, here's what we know about each resort.
Universal Stella Nova Resort
Universal Stella Nova Resort is inspired by the vast and beautiful wonders of outer space. Standard guest rooms will sleep up to four guests and feature an upscale space theme with blue and white hues and murals above the beds that depict a galaxy filled with shining stars.
The hotel's public spaces will have a modern look and feel, with a mostly black and white color palette set off by teal and purple accents, curved walls and textured ceilings that give off chic spaceship vibes.
Dining options will include a quick-service restaurant called Cosmos Cafe and Market with classic American fare and grab-and-go items, the Galaxy Bar and Galaxy Grill for poolside drinks and dining, in-room pizza delivery and a lobby lounge called Nova Bar for specialty cocktails.
Outside, the hotel will also feature a resort-style pool complex with a 10,000-square-foot pool, a hot tub, a kids splash pad and a fire pit. Additionally, guests can enjoy recreational activities like poolside movies and outdoor games. Inside, you'll find a fitness center, a game room, a laundry area, a gift shop and a dedicated Universal Orlando Vacation Planning Center to assist with all your theme park needs.

Universal Terra Luna Resort
Universal Terra Luna Resort will be similar to Universal Stella Nova Resort in size, layout and amenities but will have its own distinct theming inspired by the thrill of exploring the unknown and discovering the wonders of outer space. In a way, it feels as if Stella Nova depicts the journey through space, and Terra Luna depicts a far-off destination.
Standard guest rooms will sleep up to four and are decorated in a blue and white color scheme with otherworldly artwork.
The hotel's lobby will be spacious, with modern furnishings and green and gold accents. The lobby will feature a lounge called Luna Bar, a quick-service eatery called Omega Cafe and Market with made-to-order and grab-and-go items, and a Universal Orlando Vacation Planning Center for help with ticketing and vacation planning.
Other dining options include in-room pizza delivery, a poolside bar called Moonrise Bar and a poolside restaurant called Moonrise Grill.
The zero-entry pool will feature playful pop-up jets. There will also be a large adjacent hot tub, a fire pit, poolside movies and outdoor games. Other amenities include a fitness center, a game room, a laundry area and a gift shop.
