Staying at Universal Studios Beijing is just too good to be true.
Staying at Universal Studios Beijing is just too good to be true!
The best way to enjoy Universal Studios is to stay at Universal Studios. There are two hotels in the resort: 📍NUO Resort Hotel and 📍Universal Studios Grand Hotel.

The biggest perk of staying at these two hotels is that you can enter the park one hour early. The park opens at 9:30 during daylight saving time, but you can enter the park at 8:30 through the special entrance, while the regular entrance may be crowded. This extra hour is crucial, as you can visit the most popular Harry Potter area without queuing, and take photos at popular spots. The empty Hogwarts is the real Hogwarts!
Universal Studios Beijing does not offer early entry tickets. The only way to enter the park early is to stay at the hotel or buy a VIP ticket, which costs over CNY 2,000 per person. If you buy the 5-item Express Pass, it costs CNY 640 per person even in the off-season. If you go with a friend, it will cost CNY 1,280. You might as well stay at the hotel for one night.

Although Universal Studios Beijing is not large, you will still feel tired after a day of walking. If you stay at the resort, you don't have to wait for a taxi with 50 other people, or walk 20 minutes to the subway. The hotel is right next to the park, so you can go back to the hotel right after you leave the park.

The Minions-themed rooms at Universal Studios Grand Hotel are more suitable for families with children. All the furniture, towels, slippers, and toiletries are Minions-themed, and you will receive themed cookies and bananas. However, the rooms are not large, only 30 m², and can feel a little cramped.
