Description

History

The Disneyland Paris Hotel opened alongside the Euro Disney Resort in April 1992. The luxury hotel is located within the Disneyland Paris resort in Marne-la-Vallée, France. It offers a range of room types, including standard rooms, suites, and family rooms, and provides amenities such as on-site dining options, a fitness center, and an indoor pool. The hotel is conveniently located right at the entrance to Disneyland Paris theme park.

Design

The Imagineers who designed the park's Main Street partnered with architecture firm, Wimberly Allison Tong & Goo on the project.[1] The architecture of the hotel references Victorian American hotels such as the Hotel del Coronado.

Refurbishment

The hotel closed in March 2020 with the rest of the resort due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of reopening, it underwent a major refurbishment, announced in April 2021.[2] The refurbished hotel reopened on 25 January 2024.[3]
