I swear I had written my bonus before I saw your post lolXAVIER’S ACADEMY FOR GIFTED YOUNGSTERS

Universal’s first in-park hotel lets guests stay overnight in Islands of Adventure’s Superhero Island, in the famous X Mansion where Professor X secretly trains and deploys the X-Men, introducing guests to a secret world of Mutants (and carefully keeping Disney from using Marvel in Florida).
Hotel grounds resemble forested Upstate New York surrounding a stately brownstone estate, whose interiors include a Cerebro check-in, a Danger Room exercise facility, communal dining halls, and props dedicated to the various X-Men.
Every room is themed to a different Mutant - see frozen pipes in Ice Man’s room, claw slashes in Wolverines, lightning scars in Storm’s, et cetera, and even study with Mutant professors to discover your own Mutant power in an up-charge activity utilizing RFID-activated effects.
BONUS - Sunnyside Day Care
Enjoy life under the warm, protecting, never-strict arm of Lotso Huggin’ Bear in this oversized preschool whose rooms in no way resemble prison cells for toys.

Sonic is my favorite character from The Legend of Super Smash Allies.Sonic's Green Hill Zone Resort
![]()
Spinballing into Universal Resort Orlando is Sonic's Green Hill Zone Resort, obviously based on Sonic the Hedgehog, bringing to life the palm trees, looping hills, and colourful sights and sounds of the 1991 video game's opening zone to life, based entirely around a large oasis (i.e. a giant swimming pool), with the hotel having two major restaurants, gyms, huge Sega arcades, etc..
The hotel is thematically split in two, both sides having six floors each; Sonic's side is more naturalistic and beachy, with huge palm trees, the Green Hill Zone's unique loops and hills making up the buildings, with numerous hotel rooms designed after Sonic and friends, so Sonic's rooms are rather laidback and beachy, Tails' have a sky theme and resemble a workshop or a plane hangar, Knuckles the Echidna's have a jungle, tribal, Aztec design, Amy Rose's are more urban and homely with an emphasis on the colour pink and her devotion to Sonic, Big the Cat's rooms are simplistic in design and made from the forest (lots of wood), and Shadow the Hedgehog's is both futuristic and militaristic at the same time.
The other hand of the resort was designed by Dr. Robotnik, who is an evil genius, but also has a flair for design, using sleek metallic colours of silver, grey, red, black, and yellow, with each room mostly dedicated to his own brilliance, but also his many robotic creations.
Bonus - The Muppets' Happiness Hotel - While perhaps not as rundown as its movie counterpart, the Muppets' Happiness Hotel is small and cozy, and sporting the classic brand of Muppet humour, like a crashed motorbike hanging out of the ceiling, the kitchen is run by rats, Miss Piggy has the best suite in the hotel (of course), and there are nightly performances from the Electric Mayhem.
Have fun!I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be around for the next while. I'm going on a trip.
I just edited mine to be something different, so if anyone wants to do Hogwarts, go ahead!Bates Motel
![]()
Coming soon, right off of Universal Boulevard, is a cheap hotel themed to Psycho, with almost all of the 100 rooms being under $200. However, if you're willing to spend more, you can spend the night in the Bates House Guest Room, but any of the other guests can walk into the house for the counter-service restaurant inside. Just watch out in the shower, because the tiles pull back to reveal a silhouette oh Norman Bates!
Bonus: Just bring back the Mickey-Shaped hotel that Eisner once pitched and put it near Holywood Studios, more details here.
