Disneyland Announces New Luxury Hotel

Disneyland is putting on the Ritz by adding a fourth Disney-themed hotel at the resort that will be decked out in luxury. The average nightly rate would be around $450.

Disneyland officials submitted plans on Tuesday, proposing a 700-room, four-diamond hotel and a parking structure on 10 acres at 1401 Disneyland Drive, at the north end of the Downtown Disney parking lot. Construction on the hotel wouldn’t start until 2018 and the hotel wouldn’t open until 2021.

While there is no theme yet, Walt Disney Imagineering will design the hotel. There will be an upscale rooftop restaurant watching Disneyland’s nightly fireworks over Sleeping Beauty Castle. There will also be two pools, a fitness facility, a kid’s play area, and concierge service.

City leaders have argued Anaheim needs more luxury hotels to attract higher-end visitors. This hotel would be the first built at the Disneyland Resort in nearly 20 years.
