"There will be no other hotel in Europe that’s as immersive as this one," say Disney executives as they reveal brand-new details about the French park’s revamped signature hotel, now open for bookings.
The revamped Disneyland Hotel, billed as the "ultimate royal address", will reopen for guests on 25 January 2024. Earlier today the Disneyland Paris executive team revealed new details about the hotel, which has been completely rebuilt – the structural walls of the original hotel remain and the exterior facade will still be pink, but inside is a completely new guest experience.
The hotel will have 487 bedrooms and suites, in deluxe and superior categories. It will also have the Castle Club, a hotel within a hotel concept occupying the top two floors of the building, which will offer private check-in and private elevators. Xavier Louyot, director of product, hotels & resorts, said this area would be "the most exclusive address of the destination" with the Royal Suite Frozen occupying the position of "the ultimate suite" at 206 square metres.

Natacha Rafalski, president of Disneyland Paris, said the hotel would be "the ultimate royal address, taking guests on a regal journey from the moment they step inside" incorporating storytelling, entertainment, and character appearances to bring the magic to life. As guests step inside the library-inspired lobby, with a twinkling crystal light sculpture as its centrepiece, they will be welcomed by Royal Greeters. The character experiences will continue in all areas of the hotel – more than 27,000 new costume pieces have been created for the hotel, which include new regal outfits for Minnie and Mickey Mouse.
Dining experiences include the Royal Banquet, inspired by the grand reception halls of medieval castles, and La Table de Lumiere, influenced by the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. The contemporary-style Fleur de Lys bar will be decorated with blue and silver tones.
Children are being treated as fully-fledged guests with nutritious menus, spa treatments, and bedtime stories all exclusively designed for the "mini kings and queens" staying at the hotel. One of the exclusive experiences available for children will be "My Royal Dream", where a transformation will take place in a professional studio, turning children into their favourite Disney royal characters, using a menu of costumes, accessories and hair styles, and they will leave with a photo. "It’s all about making lifetime memories for children and adults," said Louyot.
Rooms start from €932 per night, which includes a two-park ticket to the theme parks, Disneyland Park and Walt Disney Studios Park, and as is standard with all Disneyland hotels, early access to the parks before the official opening time.
