Rosen Shingle Creek 

A premium hotel on Universal Boulevard

It’s choices galore at this luxury resort. And it’s just ten minutes from Universal Orlando Resort.

This is a large resort hotel at its best, set in vast grounds with an enormous spa and excellent golf course to complement a stellar line-up of activities and four swimming pools. With so many places to eat and drink, you may not get the chance to experience them all, but Rosen Shingle Creek is the ideal base if you like lots (and lots) of choice. Its location is best if you’re planning on visiting Universal Orlando Resort, with complimentary daily transport included.

Why we love Rosen Shingle Creek

  • It's just a ten-minute drive to Universal Orlando Resort, although there’s free daily transportation to avoid paying for parking at the parks.

  • Twelve places to eat and drink, with something for every moment and occasion.

  • Four swimming pools, including a lap pool and a zero-entry pool that’s perfect for toddlers to paddle in.

  • There’s a plush, neatly manicured feel to this resort that has a grown-up feel despite being exceedingly family friendly.
