Dual towers reflect business interests, but the Universal location dazzles vacationers.

The Scene
With the mirror-like exteriors of its bold pair of towers and the minimally detailed open spaces throughout its grounds, this hotel physically reflects its devotion to efficient convention business and the facilitation of productivity. However, its location at the entrance of Universal Studios makes it pretty darn desirable for theme park-goers, as well.

The Details
The hotel works its magic on vacationers with the Destination Universal Vacation Planning Center in the lobby. Complimentary transportation is offered to several parks, easy access to tennis and golf, and an Olympic-size swimming pool are just a few of its amenities. Kiddies are catered to with an arcade and playground. There's also a baby-sitting referral service for mom and pop so they can slip away for a night out at nearby Universal CityWalk, a promenade of shopping, dining and nightlife.
