Disneyland Resort currently includes three on-site hotels with different themes and amenities: Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa (Arts-and-Crafts design and a direct entrance to Disney California Adventure), the classic Disneyland Hotel (themed pools and family recreation), and the reimagined Pixar Place Hotel (formerly Paradise Pier) focused on Pixar storytelling. All properties offer dining, concierge services, and easy access to Downtown Disney; specific offerings such as character meals and pricing vary and should be confirmed on official hotel pages.

Three hotels inside Disneyland Resort

Disneyland Resort continues to host three on-site hotels within walking distance of the theme parks and Downtown Disney. Each property offers its own theme, dining, and guest services while keeping you close to the parks.

Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa

The Grand Californian is the most architecturally distinctive of the three, with Arts-and-Crafts-inspired design and a direct entrance into Disney California Adventure and easy access to Downtown Disney. The hotel highlights include a spa, signature dining (including the Napa Rose restaurant), and upscale guest rooms with balcony views.

Guests often mention the dramatic multi-story lobby and the convenience of stepping from the hotel into the park. The Grand Californian also offers concierge-level services and lounges for registered guests.

Disneyland Hotel

The Disneyland Hotel is the original Disneyland resort hotel and remains a flagship for Disney hospitality. It blends classic Disney motifs with modern amenities: themed pools and waterslides, character touches across the property, and quick access to Downtown Disney and the monorail.

The hotel emphasizes immersive theming and family-friendly recreation alongside updated guest rooms and dining options. Its proximity to the parks makes it a popular choice for first-time visitors and returning fans alike.

Pixar Place Hotel (formerly Paradise Pier)

What was long known as Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel has been reimagined under a Pixar theme and operates as Pixar Place Hotel 1. The property overlooks parts of the resort and focuses on casual, family-oriented accommodations with playful Pixar decor, a rooftop pool area, and recreational amenities.

Choosing among the three

  • If you want immediate park access and a quieter, upscale experience: Grand Californian.
  • If you want classic Disney nostalgia and boldly themed pools: Disneyland Hotel.
  • If you prefer a playful, family-focused stay tied to Pixar characters and design: Pixar Place Hotel 2.
All three hotels offer concierge services, on-site dining, and recreational facilities. Specific services (character breakfasts, concierge package pricing, and room counts) change over time and can vary by season or operating policies; check current hotel pages before booking.

Practical tips

  • Book early for holiday dates and peak seasons.
  • Compare on-site benefits such as early park entry, package delivery, and theme-park transportation when choosing.
  • Confirm dining reservations and character dining availability in advance; offerings have changed periodically.
  1. Confirm that Paradise Pier Hotel was formally rebranded and currently operates as Pixar Place Hotel and note the date of the change.
  2. Verify current status of character breakfasts at Storyteller's Cafe and which hotels currently offer character dining.
  3. Confirm current published room counts and concierge pricing details for each Disneyland Resort hotel.
