First-Timers Guide to the 7 Best Hotels at Disneyland Paris

Planning a Disneyland Paris trip? Brilliant choice. Now comes the big question: where to stay? Because here’s the thing—your Disney holiday doesn’t end when you wave goodbye to Mickey at park closing. Nope. At Disneyland Paris, the Disney fun follows you home (well, to your hotel room at least!).

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.

Perks For Every Disneyland Paris Hotel Guest

Staying at a Disney hotel isn’t just about the theming (though the theming is chef’s kiss). It also unlocks perks like:

• Extra Magic Time: An hour in the parks before everyone else arrives (yes, you can ride Big Thunder while the rest of the world is still asleep).
• 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.)
