2025 is THE year to visit Disneyland Resort, the Happiest Place on Earth. So many exciting events are happening, including the anticipated 70th anniversary celebration. If you want to plan a vacation but are not sure how to choose between the three different hotels on property, we’re here to help! Disneyland Resort boasts three distinctive hotels, each offering its own unique charm and immersive experience. The Disneyland Hotel captures the magic of the park’s history, blending retro Disney nostalgia with modern amenities. Its iconic Adventure Tower, themed pools, and expansive grounds provide a magical stay. Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa offers a luxurious, nature-inspired experience with its stunning Arts and Crafts design, exclusive access to Disney California Adventure Park, and a tranquil spa retreat. Finally, the Pixar Place Hotel (formerly known as Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel) brings the vibrant world of Pixar movies to life with colorful, playful themes and an easy-going atmosphere just steps away from the park entrances. Each hotel offers a unique way to enjoy the magic of Disneyland Resort, from luxurious to whimsical.
Disneyland Hotel
Stay in the Adventure, Fantasy, or Frontier Tower, each an homage to the park’s original lands. There is also the new Discovery Tower that offers more of the comforts of home. Located just a short walk from Disneyland Park, it offers a range of magical accommodations, including rooms inspired by beloved Disney themes. Guests enjoy early theme park access to either Disneyland or Disney California Adventure (check the theme park schedule for early entry schedule). Dining options are a treat, with favorites like Goofy’s Kitchen, where character dining meets a buffet of delicious offerings, Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar (a tropical escape with themed drinks), and the Broken Spell Lounge (a Sleeping Beauty-inspired lounge). The hotel also features a sparkling pool with monorail-themed slides, perfect for a fun and relaxing retreat after a day at the parks.
