(P515) Potential Hotel for USH

[Jamesh22]

I'm curious, do we have any stats on the % of visitors to Uni Orlando that stay in Uni hotels? Or the same kind of stats for Osaka & Beijing?

@Jerroddragon's point about the % who might use the hotel got me wondering.
1% = approx 90k guests per year which works out as 247 guests per day.
I think the original plans called for a hotel between 300 and 400 rooms?
So in reality maybe only 1.5 to 2% of visitors stay at the hotel?

I'm very much in favour of the hotel, but this has me wondering - will one be enough?

I don't think those kinds of occupancy rates are broken out in any reports I've read. We do know how many hotel rooms are currently available in Orlando, and it's a lot: More than 6,000. And they're about to add another couple thousand. Now, Orlando is a vastly different vacation market than Hollywood (at least, as it relates to theme park visitation) but if this ends up being a Premium Hotel (and I think it will be), 300 or 400 rooms sounds about right.

For reference, Helios is expected to have around 500 rooms.

Theme park wizard has mentioned 500 rooms based off the evolution plan. But plans could have possibly changed since then

It's been pretty quiet in regards to this project. Has anyone heard any updates?

As found recently; seems work may be starting to ramp up for P515! Won't be posting the image due to specific information; but a new permit alert has been submitted under the element of Building 3515 for substantial conformance review by Universal. From looking around, I do not think that this building number exists for USH right now; so it seems to be possibly a new structure.

From @ethanuniversal: new permits are being filed!
