Orlando, FL

Portofino Bay Hotel

Premier Anesthesia Seminars, Inc. (PAS, Inc.) is pleased to offer the beautiful Loews Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando® for their Anesthesia Review and ACLS/PALS Recertification.

Replicating a picturesque European seaside village, Loews Portofino Bay Hotel opened at Universal Orlando in September 1999. Guests are immersed in the elegant Italian ambiance as they enter the hotel, with dramatic trompe l’oeil paintings enhancing the ceiling. The enchantment continues throughout the property with Italian cypress and olive trees, cobblestone streets, sidewalk cafes, a harbor and Italian sports cars and Vespas parked in the harbor piazza. The hotel’s grounds are also full of ornate fountains, a staple of Italian artistry.

The 750-room Loews Portofino Bay Hotel was the first property at Universal Orlando® Resort and has received recognition from Travel & Leisure and Conde Nast Traveler as one of the country’s top 100 hotels and the highest-rated property in Central Florida. The luxurious guest rooms, including Governatore and Presidente Suites, as well as Portofino, Villa and Hospitality Parlors and 18 kid’s suites, are patterned after the village’s waterfront homes. Restaurants share space along the harbor-side piazza just as it is in the original village.

Visitors can savor the flavor and environment of Portofino with a myriad of on-site dining options like the internationally known Bice Ristorante, as well as Trattoria del Porto, Mama Della’s Ristorante, Sal’s Market Deli, Splendido Pizzeria and an authentic Italian Gelateria. Guests can relax and unwind at the Mandara Spa; three swimming pools (including a beach pool with Roman aqueduct-styled water slides), Villa pool and Hillside pool and bocce ball courts.
