You might see these heat expansion joints in hallways of Helios Grand Hotel. The building is structurally 3 different towers next to each other. These joints are between the towers. Aerial photo Aug 18, 2023.

Look for 3 stars in the pavement near the Helios Grand Hotel porte-cochère roof line, when going to/from parking. These stars came from a confetti burst in lobby during a Team Member event prior to grand opening. Soon after, these stars were sealed on the concrete!

Parking machine at Helios Grand Hotel. Note the visitor rate. Room key is required to enter Epic Universe from Helios Grand Hotel. This seems to relax when Bar Helios opens, so that park guests with reservations can easily visit and return.

There are two Presidential Suites at Helios Grand Hotel. At ends of the top lodging floor, the Club Level. They are mirror images of each other. I stayed in the suite near Ministry of Magic.

The tall center jet of the Cosmos Fountain reaches this height in shows. (Center arrow.) I observed this from a guest room as height of floor of the 9th floor of Helios Grand Hotel. It's said that the jet can reach height of the dome of Bar Helios.
