Portofino BayA friend of mine is currently spending two weeks traveling through Italy.  After being kept up-to-date via Facebook of all of his stops throughout the country, I decided our hotel of the week  beginning June 7, 2010 should be inspired by a little bit of Italy.  Hence, Loews Portofino Bay Hotel  at Universal Studios in Orlando is the true frontrunner.  You can find great deals going on right now for flights  into Orlando and hotel  rooms at Portofino Bay.

Inspired by Portofino on the Mediterranean Sea

Portofino, Italy is a picturesque seaside fishing town which has long been the getaway location for the rich and famous.  Loews Hotels used this Italian village as its inspiration for Loews Portofino Bay  Hotel at Universal Orlando.  Here you will find world-class service and accommodations.  Stay in rooms with authentic Italian furnishings and marble stones and accent pieces.  Choose from three themed swimming pools or get a little pampering at the world-class, full-service Mandara Spa and fitness center.  Dump, I mean drop, the kids off at the children’s activity center, Campo Portofino.
