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. The architecture of the hotel references Victorian American hotels such as the Hotel del Coronado.
