From , former About.com Guide

Opened in January of 2001 at Universal Orlando, Hard Rock Hotel Orlando surrounds itself with the spirit of music. Throughout the hotel you will find video screens and speakers playing the hottest videos and music. Showcased in the lobby is an eclectic assortment of rock memorabilia, including Elvis's rhinestone jumpsuit, footwear from Elton John and a few of Madonna's famous ensembles.

Amenities:
The rock ‘n roll theme of this “Hotel California” mission style property continues at the trendy outdoor pool area. The Beach Pool area is surrounded by lush palm trees where guests can sun bathe on the white sand beach, sip cocktails around the sparkling blue pool, and slide down the 260-foot water slide-all while listening to the hottest music playing on outdoor speakers including 12 underwater speakers.

The hotel also offers a Fitness Club with a workout room, steam room and sauna. A supervised children's recreation facility is available at Camp Lil' Rock.

Restaurants & Bars:
Dining options at Hard Rock include the Palm Restaurant, a steakhouse straight from New York, known for its prime beef cuts and lobster, and The Kitchen, where you can dine on the favorite dishes of rock icons. To top off the day, the chic, urban setting of Velvet Bar in the main lobby can smooth out the evening. On the last Thursday of each month, the hotel hosts "Velvet Sessions," a hip cocktail party in the lobby featuring a different national musical act each month.

Transportation:
Guests will have access to the theme parks and CityWalk via shuttle bus, water taxi and a garden walk.
