Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando

Meeting planners put the funk in corporate functions at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Orlando, the music-themed rock-and-roll getaway that looks like the Hotel California transplanted to the popular Florida theme park. Music permeates the four-diamond, mission-style property, from the integrated CD/MP3 entertainment centers in its 650 guest rooms and suites to the underwater sound system in its 12,000-square-foot swimming pool. Even Camp Lil' Rock lets the little ones practice their best American Idol moves.

Hard Rock Universal Orlando stays in the groove with 6,000 square feet of flexible event space named after iconic music venues: the 300-capacity Avalon Ballroom, the 60-seat Fillmore Meeting Room, and the 50-seat Apollo boardroom. Incentives include free water taxis, shuttle buses, and front-of-line admission to all attractions at Universal's two Orlando theme parks.
