Once all of that is done it adds up to 5,600 rooms so far. I have heard WDW has somewhere between 22k and 28k.

The fact that's it's located next to Sapphire, Royal Pacific,CBBR, & Volcano Bay, I would imagine the theme will be somewhat similar to those 4 properties. Palm trees, tropical resort look, lot's of tropical foliage , sand beach entry pool, etc.
This will be the most visible hotel from I4 so I'd like to see a statement being made with the design. I'd also like to see a bit of height as well as this could offer some great views of Volcano Bay and the parks.
Maybe they'll do a complete tie in with Volcano Bay. Special Volcano Bay Water Park only Express passes (but not hotel express for IOA & Studios). Close theme & names to Volcano Bay etc.
Volcano Stay Resort?
If the kids are bad, you can tell them you'll put them on the sacrifice list for the great Volcano god. 
...That's a hotel benefit something even Disney doesn't have.

Disney could use the one at Rainforest Cafe.
Continuing to feed into this hotel/theme park expansion topic...into the mouth of a Volcano...I found an interview from 2013 of Matt Ouimet on CNN about how theme parks seem to do well in a sluggish economy.
Maybe Jungle themed to contrast with all the beach hotels...with a lagoon/cove style pool. Or a pirate themed.
If not jungle themed (which I think is a great idea), I think we might see a garden themed hotel.
Due to the smaller plot of land I expect it's going to be an adult only boutique hotel. There is no need for a kiddy pool and stuff like that. There is a trent under adult travelers without kids who like to stay at a no kids resort. This would also be a great match for the convention goers as soon as the light rail connects the 2 resorts with a station behind the convention center.
This is from today's Orlando Sentinel article:
Universal has contemplated another hotel in that area for at least a couple of years. In 2014, it submitted documents to the Orange County Comptroller's Office showing plans for a fifth, sixth and seventh hotel at the resort. Sapphire Falls will be the fifth.
Sapphire is the fifth. The newly announced hotel is the sixth. Anyone know anything about the seventh?

If I'm not mistaken this has come up before and one of those hotels morphed into the CBBR expansion.
