We previously reported that Hard Rock Hotel, one of the preferred hotels at Universal Orlando Resort, is undergoing major refurbishments to its exterior building. The hotel has scaffolding around a portion of its exterior and will be undertaking the project by section, but still recognized on its website that the construction could impact the stay of Guests who are planning a stay in the near future.
We’re making enhancements to the exterior of the building that are part of our commitment to amp up the product we offer to you, as our guest. The work will be done section by section and we will work hard to minimize the impact on your stay at Hard Rock Hotel.
Twitter account @bioreconstruct recently posted a photo of the work being done at Hard Rock Hotel and, as you can see, crane activity is now underway.

Hard Rock Hotel recently sent an email to Guests who had reservations for the spring and announced that The Kitchen, one of its popular restaurants, would also be closing for renovations, as well.
The email reads:
Legendary rock stars are always evolving and so is Hard Rock Hotel®. There are some enhancements taking place that we’d like to make you aware of if you are visiting Hard Rock Hotel® at Universal Orlando. We will be replacing the hotel’s roof, and refurbishing and painting the hotel’s exterior. The work will be limited to one section at a time and will occur from 9am – 6pm. The Kitchen restaurant will also undergo renovations beginning April 18. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will still be regularly served the rock star way at other locations within the hotel.
The Kitchen is the most popular restaurant at Hard Rock Hotel and features an array of menu items that Guests can enjoy at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
