Despicable Me Kids Suite

Experience the world of Despicable Me in newly-renovated kid’s suites where the rooms capture the excitement and playfulness of Gru’s Laboratory. Our Despicable Me Kids Suites let mom and dad have a little privacy, and the kids have some fun! With a standard king bedroom for the adults plus a separate room for the kids, there's plenty of space for the whole family at 650 - 675 square feet that can accommodate up to five guests with a rollaway†. The two separate rooms are connected via a door that can be open or closed, and feature a single entrance to the adult room. In other words, the children's room opens only into the adult's room, and not into the hallway. The kids’ rooms invite you to sleep like Margo, Edith and Agnes in custom-designed missile beds with Minion inspired bedding complete with Gru’s scarf, plus a separate closet and television.

Keep in Mind

World-class amenities make Portofino Bay the most expensive hotel on the property
While Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando™ offers more rooms, navigating the oversized property can be confusing
Families coming to and from the theme park are as welcomed as those dressed to the nines, which you will see, especially in the evenings
Rooms do not include refrigerators
A handful of rooms include balconies, which can be requested (but are not guaranteed)
You must be at least 21 years of age to make a reservation at any Universal Orlando Resort™ hotel
Hotel charges $27 per night plus tax for self-parking
Hotel charges $36 per night plus tax for valet parking

Notable Facts

The Mandara Spa is open to all Universal Orlando Resort™ hotel guests
The hotel's theme was suggested by Steven Spielberg, who was consulting on Universal's Islands of Adventure™ at the time
The Harbor Piazza recreates the famed fishing village of Portofino, Italy
The hotel offers a Bocce Ball court near the Villa Pool

Frog Family Tips

Walk to the parks or take a shuttle bus in inclement weather because the water taxis don't run when there is lightning
Take advantage of pool hopping to the other Universal Orlando Resort™ — you can use your room key to charge food and drinks!
Book a Bay View room for spectacular views of the Piazza, particularly at night (request the West Wing to be closest to the water taxis)
Request a room close to dining or the pools (Beach Pool for the tadpoles) if that is a preference
Book Despicable Me suites early — there are only 18 of them!
Enjoy a night out without the tadpoles (ages 4-14), who can spend their evening playing games, watching movies and enjoying other activities

Best For

Families who want a refined, luxury experience with many amenities, Universal Express Unlimited™ ride access benefit and other theme park benefits
