Review of the Reopened Disneyland Hotel at Disneyland Paris - AFAR
"Reopened after a three-year renovation, this 487-room, five-star property sprawls across the park entrance and delivers an unabashedly upscale Disney-royalty experience with a grand lobby, a 12,000-piece custom glass chandelier featuring a crystal castle centerpiece, elegant film-inspired rooms, a Royal Kids Club, a Clarins spa, and fine-dining options. Superior rooms (about 430 sq ft) start at roughly $700 per person per night including park tickets and are richly detailed with Beauty and the Beast portraits, numerous Easter-egg motifs (Snow White’s apple, Jasmine’s lamp, rose-shaped knobs, Rapunzel-inspired mirrors), minibar soft drinks, plush robes (including kids’ sizes), and turndown service complete with mint tea and a pillow selection. An exclusive “hotel-within-a-hotel” tier offers a private lounge with fireworks views and sixteen suites—such as a Frozen-inspired Queen Elsa’s Ice Palace and Cinderella suites—commanding premium nightly rates. Staffing and presentation were lavish (the renovation included thousands of costume pieces for onsite staff), service is attentive (including luggage handling and character photo coordination), and while some fine-dining dishes felt overly sauced, the overall offering and unbeatable proximity to the parks make it a splurge-friendly option for families and devoted fans." - Blane Bachelor
