Loews Portofino Bay Hotel
Step into the picturesque charm of the Italian Riviera in this meticulously recreated hotel. Soak up the European atmosphere in the piazza, cafés and pizzeria and treat yourself to an ice-cream at the gelateria.
The beautifully appointed spacious rooms have all the elegance you'd expect from an Italian hotel.
Benefits:
This hotel has a super-convenient water taxi service leaving from the jetty and it takes just a few minutes to drop you right in front of the Universal theme parks.
