Disneyland Paris is writing its next fairytale as it unveils the royal transformation of its five-star Disneyland Hotel.
In a kingdom not so far away, the magic of an iconic hotel is about to come back to life. When it reopens on 25 January 2024, the Disneyland Hotel will invite all its visitors, especially the youngest, to experience an immersive journey right to the heart of Disney’s royal stories. This experience will offer an unrivalled sense of hospitality, a restaurant offer that will appeal to gourmets and an entertainment offer that only Disney can provide.
Disneyland Paris is taking another step forward in its ambitious transformation project with the long-awaited reopening of the iconic five-star Disneyland Hotel, which will welcome its first guests on 25 January 2024. Every square metre of the legendary hotel’s interior is being “reinvented” to offer future visitors an all-new luxury experience that will highlight the royal Disney stories and Characters from the great classics and recent hits. From majestic lobbies to luxurious rooms and suites, the Disneyland Hotel experience promises to be a royal one!
“This reinvention marks a new stage in the history of Disneyland Paris, which continues to be a major player in the European tourism landscape thanks to its immersive storytelling and unrivalled sense of hospitality,” says Natacha Rafalski, President of Disneyland Paris.
“We are delighted to unveil the reinvention of the Disneyland Hotel. It’s an exceptional five-star hotel that celebrates Disney’s much-loved royal stories. We are always committed to innovation and delivering unrivalled experiences to our guests and look forward to welcoming them to one of the most immersive hotels in Europe.”
The Disneyland Hotel will be the first Disney Hotel to offer a five-star journey through the world of Disney royalty in all its forms. From Cinderella to The Snow Queen, via Merlin the Enchanter, The Princess and the Frog and Vaiana the Legend of the End of the World, visitors will have the opportunity to become part of history and write their own fairytales.
By combining their creativity with the expertise of European suppliers and craftsmen, the Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams have brought to life an immersive experience that pays tribute both to Disney’s most beautiful royal stories and to monuments that have left their mark on European history, such as the Château de Versailles and the Château de Neuschwanstein.
Featuring an elegant new design, the Disneyland Hotel will invite visitors to discover a number of gems, such as its majestic lobby, restaurants, bar and lounges(2), but also to experience unforgettable, emotionally-charged moments alongside numerous Characters from Disney’s royal stories. Visitors will also have the opportunity to meet Mickey, Minnie and their friends** in exclusive new royal costumes and interact with a duo of outstanding actors, the Disney Royal Troupe.
A total of 487 rooms and suites, including 346 Superior Rooms, 82 Deluxe Rooms, 41 Castle Club Rooms, 16 Signature Suites, 1 Princely Suite and 1 Royal Suite, have been completely redesigned to create a refined ambience and offer visitors all the comfort and luxury they need. The tradition of Disney storytelling(1) will be present in each of the rooms and suites, as they will showcase iconic elements from Disney Animation Studios’ greatest royal stories through paintings, decorative pieces and other references that blend subtly into the décor.
Guests staying at the Castle Club will enjoy a prestigious service. In this “hotel within a hotel”, they will enjoy even greater privacy, thanks in particular to a private lift and reception. They can even have breakfast with the Disney Princesses in the Castle Club Lounge. The suites will also offer an unrivalled level of immersion in Disney’s royal stories.
With a level of storytelling as captivating as the rest of the hotel, the Royal Banquet and the Table de Lumière will offer a refined culinary experience combining French savoir-faire and Disney creativity.
During their stay, children will be treated like princesses and princes. To this end, special areas have been designed for them, such as the Royal Kids Club, where they can immerse themselves in the magic of augmented reality and enjoy unforgettable encounters. Younger visitors can also take part in the My Royal Dream experience, during which they will be transformed into a royal character thanks to a selection of costumes and accessories, hairstyles and a sprinkling of stardust. And after a magical day in the parks, families will have the opportunity to enjoy a wellness experience at the Disneyland Hotel Spa by Clarins or enjoy a relaxation session in a dedicated area. All the hotel’s restaurants, bars and lounges(2) will also offer a selection of delicious themed dishes and pastries to delight every taste bud.
At the heart of this enchanted experience, a team of Cast Members, selected from both within and outside the destination, has been carefully trained to offer a personalised service and ensure that all visitors enjoy a royal stay. For example, a Royal Greeter will provide a unique welcome from the moment they step through the hotel doors, concierges will anticipate their every need and Story Keepers will offer guided tours to discover the hotel’s fabulous secrets.
The Disneyland Hotel will set a new standard in terms of immersive experience in a five-star hotel, with a special focus on children. Through this transformation, Disneyland Paris continues to redefine the hotel sector, while consolidating its position as Europe’s leading tourist destination with its seven hotels and almost 5,700 rooms.
Disneyland Paris has entered an era of transformation and limitless creativity to create an ever more immersive and unforgettable visitor experience. Witness the renovation of Sleeping Beauty Castle and other park icons, the recent opening of the Marvel Avengers Campus and the ongoing construction of Frozen themed zone.
The destination’s hotel complex, comprising 7 Disney Hotels ranging from two to five stars, offers something to suit all tastes and brings the Disney magic to life beyond the parks by immersing visitors in a variety of themed worlds, while offering exclusive benefits for an unrivalled experience.
Disney Hotels extend the stories and magic of the parks. In recent years, some of the destination’s hotels have undergone a makeover with enhanced storytelling(1), ever-improving facilities and services, new entertainment offerings and more opportunities to interact with Disney, Pixar and Marvel Characters.
The opening in 2021 of the four-star Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel has taken the theming to new heights, giving visitors the opportunity to experience immersive encounters with their favourite superheroes and to discover one of the largest collections of Marvel artworks in the world. A creative space called the Marvel Design Studio has even been designed for the youngest heroes, along with the Hero Training Zone, an outdoor field where visitors of all ages can take part in a range of sporting activities.
