ORLANDO, FL – No mainland hotel in the United States is more exotic. It is a world unto itself.

Loews Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando immerses guests in all the tropical enchantment of the South Pacific - without the need to travel halfway around the world.

Like a private island retreat, Loews Royal Pacific Resort offers relaxation and beauty everywhere. Guests approaching the hotel pass a towering bamboo forest and authentic Kul-Kul tower, a Balinese structure used to celebrate special occasions. They cross a bamboo bridge spanning a gently flowing stream from which they can gaze at dense tropical foliage and dramatically tiered landscaping. Once across the bridge, they are transported into a world filled with hundreds of brilliantly colored orchids, exotically shaped palm trees, hand-carved stone statues and hand-carved, hand-painted wood and canvas panels from remote island villages.

Situated on a dramatic 53-acre site, this world-class resort captivates guests with its unique design, exotic charm, elaborate landscaping, waterfalls and lagoons. It features luxury guest rooms and suites including Club Floor rooms and a Club Lounge, Executive suites, Governor and Presidential suites and a wide range of amenities and renowned Loews Hotels’ service.

The hotel offers a variety of themed dining options, all with South Pacific flair, including a three-meal restaurant, a specialty restaurant, a pool snack bar, lobby lounge and a luau show. A massive pool - which features its own island and a 4,000 square-foot interactive water feature - along with shops, a business center, a fitness center and a children’s activity center are also available.

The hotel boasts nearly 80,000 square feet of meeting and function space, including a 42,000 square-foot Grand Ballroom seating up to 4,600 people. In addition to having its own entrance, Loews Royal Pacific Resort convention area offers dedicated group registration desks and meeting planner offices. The resort also has 25,000 square feet of outdoor areas ideal for themed events.
