Universal's Aventura Hotel is set to open in August, but the excitement level from guests is growing following the announcement of the facility's modern food hall, Urban Pantry.

The Urban Pantry space will be based on famous food halls and markets from around the world and provide families the perfect place to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. The building will feature ample seating and floor-to-ceiling windows to make the experience even more enjoyable.

Aventura Hotel's Urban Pantry food hall will feature four food stations, including the Roast Station (lamb, prime rib, chicken, salmon and paella), the Pizza Station (stone oven pizza), the Wok Station (stir fry or ramen-style cuisine) and the Burger Station (customizable sandwiches for meat eaters and vegetarians alike).

As if the food didn't sound appetizing enough, each food station will serve wine and beer themed to the cuisine and designed to complement the flavors of the meal.

The new food hall is the latest announced addition to the Aventura Hotel facility, opening in August. When it debuts to the public, it will be Universal Orlando's sixth hotel and feature 600 rooms, including 13 kids' suites.

Universal's Aventura Hotel will neighbor Loews Sapphire Falls Resort and bring the total number of hotel rooms at Universal Orlando to 6,200.
