Hotel Universal Port is just a three-minute walk from JR Universal City Station.

Upon entering the hotel, you'll be greeted by a playful theme of a city destroyed by a monster, setting the stage for the excitement to come. Continue to the "T-Rex Entertainment Place," where you'll find a lounge with dinosaurs hanging from the ceiling.

The lobby alone is thrilling, but the guest suites offer an even more dream-like experience. Themed rooms include the Minions Room, the Girly Room styled like a large home wardrobe, and the Party Room with large in-floor tables and bunk beds. This variety of themed suites is one of the hotel's major attractions.

Additionally, the hotel features one of only two Universal Studio Stores among all the hotels, where you can purchase park souvenirs.

The "Minions Room" is a favorite among guests, created in collaboration with Universal Studios Japan. Opened in 2016, this room is inspired by Gru's house from the Despicable Me movie series.

Highlights include a missile-shaped bed and a crocodile sofa, both iconic elements from the movie. The suite is filled with fun details, like holes in the walls and ceiling made to look as if they were caused by the mischievous minions.

Don't forget to snap a selfie with the minion drawn on the mirror! This whimsical room is sure to be a hit with your family.

Following the success of the first suite, the "Minions Room 2" opened in 2017. This room is a faithful recreation of the three sisters' room from the Despicable Me movie series.

The suite features a missile-shaped bed from the children's room in the movies, a large pink bear-shaped chair, and a door attached to the bunk bed through which Minions will talk to you. Every corner of the room is designed to transport you into the world of the movie.

Both the Minions Room and the Minions Room 2 include exclusive Minions-themed laundry bags and amenity pouches, adding a special touch to your stay.

On the top floor of the hotel is the Port Deep Ocean Floor, designed to resemble a city deep beneath the sea. The bright guest rooms, decorated in blue and white, mimic underwater houses and offer an extra touch of luxury.

Among the five types of rooms, the "Premium Palace" is the largest and offers a stunning view of Universal Studios Japan through a large window. The park's lights create a beautiful, sparkling scene at night.

Other themed rooms include the "Sesame Street Marching Band Room" and "Moppy's Lucky Room," allowing guests to enjoy a dream-like experience fully immersed in the world of Sesame Street.

On the 15th floor, the "Universal Waku-waku Happy Floor," a collaboration with the park, was opened in 2015 to commemorate the renewal of Universal Wonderland.

As soon as you exit the elevator, you are transported into the world of Sesame Street. The hallways, adorned with images of Sesame Street characters, create a whimsical, alternate universe.

The guest rooms on this floor include three types: the "Sesame Street Big Forest Room," with depictions of giant trees; the "Sesame Street Sky View Room," filled with fluffy clouds; and the "Sesame Street Waku-waku Fun Room," featuring characters playing hide-and-seek. Each room offers a playful experience that captures the magic of USJ.

Within the hotel, you can also enjoy services exclusive to official hotels. Located on the third floor, which connects to Universal City Walk Osaka, is the USJ official "Universal Studio Store."

This store offers a variety of items sold at USJ, ensuring you won't miss out on souvenirs even if you forget to buy them while at the park. Additionally, the Kansai International Airport Limousine Bus stops right at the hotel, making it convenient to transport your purchases. This service is popular with both domestic and international travelers.
