If you are traveling as a large party or family of 8 and want to guarantee staying together, these are the best Universal Hotels for 8 people.
There are a few options for large families of 8 at Universal Orlando Resort hotels. These suites will guarantee that all members of your party will be in the same cluster of rooms for a memorable experience.
Our list only includes Universal Orlando Resort Hotels that are on Universal Studios property. The perks of staying at official Universal Orlando hotels are pretty good. They save you a lot of time, and sometimes a lot of money, too.
Yes, you can book adjoining rooms to have accommodations to sleep eight. However, adjoining rooms are necessarily always guaranteed. There is the chance that you will arrive and have rooms that are not together.
Also, family suites have more amenities that most hotel rooms, including additional relaxation areas, such as a living room, dining room, kitchen, etc. That extra space can be great when you have lots of people in one living and sleeping area.
When booking a suite, don’t assume that all suites will be able to sleep more people. Many suites only sleep up to 3 guests, even though the room is huge. None of those suites are listed on our list, but be careful when booking.
If you cannot find a reservation for a party of 8 online, be sure to call the reservation desk to make sure that you have seen all of the options available. Often, with large parties, the online reservation system will not show you all of the possibilities that there are.
