The resort has seven official Disney hotels, each with its own style—whether you fancy sleeping like a princess, cosying up in a log cabin, or parking yourself in a Marvel art museum disguised as a hotel. And because I’ve stayed, strolled, and sipped coffee in all of them, I’m here to give you the lowdown and a few bonus tips to help you decide which of the 7 hotels at Disneyland Paris is best for you.

  • Smart TV with Disney Channel and free Wi-Fi
  • Shop & drop: spend €50+ before 3 pm and have it sent back to your hotel gift shop.
  • Complimentary luggage storage
  • Free parking (though if you’re walking distance, you won’t need it).
  • Baby cot on request
  • Safety deposit box in your room
  • Coffee machine in your room OR a drinks machine in the building to use your Magic Pass to redeem hot drinks daily. (The drinks machines are being phased out, so check at the front desk when you arrive.)

For a more rustic, cosy retreat, Disney’s Sequoia Lodge provides a warm, lodge-inspired atmosphere.

This Disney 3-star hotel is surrounded by beautiful woodlands. My favourite time to visit Sequoia Lodge is during the holidays because of its festive vibe; sitting by the double-sided log fire in the hotel bar is bliss!

Order a hot chocolate in the Redwood Bar, curl up by the fire, and pretend you’re in a Disney-fied version of a cosy ski lodge.

Rather than a single hotel building, Santa Fe has blocks of hotel rooms, each named after a Cars character.

Which Is the Best Disneyland Paris Hotel?

These seven Disneyland Paris hotels each have a unique feel and exclusive benefits. Which one is the best Disneyland Paris hotel really depends on your preferences. Here’s what’s special about each one:

⭐⭐⭐ Deluxe Hotels

  • For the highest luxury in a fairytale atmosphere, Disneyland Hotel is the best hotel with its exclusive Princess meets, character fine dining and ‘My Royal Dream’ makeover opportunity.
  • The Art of MARVEL Hotel has an upscale Manhattan feel and is exciting for teens, young adults and Marvel fans.  It also has Club Level rooms and suites for an extra luxurious stay. And I love Downtown Restaurant!

⭐⭐ Moderate Hotels

  • For the casual yet sophisticated guest, Newport Bay has a classic nautical charm. Club Level provides private dining perks. The Disney theming is less obvious in this hotel, but the overall feel is polished.
  • Sequoia Lodge has a rustic, woodland feel while still very much offering cosy hotel room amenities. Club Level provides private dining perks and the beautiful indoor pool is a big draw for many guests.

⭐ Value Hotels

  • At the value level hotel, Hotel Cheyenne is aimed at families. Its western/Toy Story theming, Disney character meets and onsite Starbucks give it a fun and relaxed atmosphere for kids and the young at heart.
  • Hotel Santa Fe shares several similarities with Hotel Cheyenne such as its budget pricing, an onsite Starbucks and Disney character meets. Its rooms are styled with a Cars theme that’s popular with young families.  


🪵🌲Cabins

  • Davy Crockett Ranch provides the most spacious accommodation and offers indoor and outdoor adventures outside the Disney parks. But it is only accessible by car or taxi.
