Epic Universe is coming in 2025, and Universal Orlando is preparing for all the new guests with a new hotel located to the south of the new park. Thanks to @bioreconstruct on Twitter (I highly recommend you give a like/follow), we can see the current status of two structures!
There should be three hotels built. One in the park and two south of the park. Universal has also trademarked three resort names: Universal Helios Grand Hotel, Universal Stella Nova Resort, and Universal Terra Luna Resort.
Stella Nova and Terra Luna sound like they could be the two resorts being built near each other, as we saw with the Surfside and Dockside hotels. Together they are called the Endless Summer Resort.

Here is an image from OrlandoParkStop showing the locations. (You should also give that site a look-see.)

This construction is likely one of the two hotels shown in the bottom part of the image as they are located south of the theme park.
Let’s take a look!

In the distance is the in-park hotel tower rising at Epic Universe.
At right is one of two resorts South of the park.

This hotel should be quite visually striking when finished. I have to admit the space theming likely going into some of the hotels and the hub area of Epic Universe has me quite interested!
There will also be a hotel in the park, which is quite exciting. Here is a look at that construction.

The Dark Universe (Universal Monsters) area should be close to the hotel and we can see a bit of the coaster in this image.

I’m sure the in park hotel will be very expensive, but if given a choice, I would likely choose it, especially if it’s in close proximity to the Universal Monsters area.
