A look at the @cocacola Freestyle machine in the Helios Grand Hotel Club Level lounge. Complimentary beverages. This model is not listed in the Freestyle equipment page. It might be in field testing, as part of Coke's partnership with Universal Orlando Resort.
Advisory to Epic Universe guests visiting Helios Grand Hotel that there's no re-entry after park closing.

Lotus Lagoon sign at the Helios Grand Hotel pool.
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.
Artwork at the exit lanes of Helios Grand Hotel. Seems like few guests will notice it.

A look at Kirkman Rd SB past Helios Grand Hotel. Stay left to try the elevated traffic circle and get to Epic Universe parking. Stay right to continue to Universal Blvd (and perhaps the Orange County Conv Center area lodging).
