LOEWS ROYAL PACIFIC RESORT AT UNIVERSAL ORLANDO COMPLETES HISTORIC MEETING SPACE EXPANSION
Continuing the trend of epic growth across the destination, Universal Orlando Resort has completed its historic meeting space expansion at Loews Royal Pacific Resort. Already the largest meetings hotel at Universal Orlando, Loews Royal Pacific Resort has expanded its meeting and event space from 85,000 square feet to 132,000 square feet.
The hotel officially unveiled the new space and welcomed HEINEKEN USA as the first group to utilize the expanded meeting area. HEINEKEN USA, a leading brewer of premium beer and cider brands, chose the South Pacific-inspired hotel for its annual employee meeting, which included more than 500 attendees. The company returned to Universal Orlando for its annual meeting, after being impressed by the hotel’s meeting space and world-class Loews service during a previous event.

“The HEINEKEN USA team was honored to be the first to utilize this impressive new space,” said Adelman. “Not only is it top-notch, it also enabled us to comfortably host our main event and ancillary activities all under one roof. The facilities were truly impressive, the food was awesome, and the staff was incredible. Our 2015 employee meeting was such a success.”
The meeting space at Loews Royal Pacific Resort is part of the largest meeting space expansion in the history of the destination—and there’s more to come.
