The 7 Official Disneyland Paris Hotels Compared (2026)

We open the list with the true flagship of Disneyland Paris — Disneyland Hotel, a pink Victorian-style 5-star that literally straddles the entrance gate of Disneyland Park. Walk out of the lobby, down the stairs, and you are inside the park looking at the castle — closer than any hotel on earth. In 2024 it reopened from a top-to-bottom renovation themed around Disney royalty. The family highlight is Royal Banquet character dining, where Mickey & Minnie come to your table in royal dress; there's also My Royal Dream, a princess dress-up and hairstyling salon for kids, and the Crystal Pool, a heated indoor pool under a glass dome. Every room carries princess and crown detailing, many looking onto Fantasia Gardens or the park entrance. Straight talk: it's the most expensive room in the resort and books out months ahead. But if you want your child to be a prince or princess once, with unmatched convenience, this is the flagship. Score 9.2/10.

Number 2 for the Avengers-obsessed household — Disney's Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is the 4-star hotel Disney rebuilt from the old Hotel New York into the only full-building Marvel-themed hotel in Europe, opened in 2021. Walk in and it reads like a New York art gallery: more than 350 Marvel artworks — Avengers, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Panther — line every floor, set against cool 1930s Art Deco design. The kid magnet is the Super Hero Station, where Spider-Man and Captain (Marvel and America) appear in person for close-up photos beside a replica Quinjet, plus a Marvel Design Studio for cartoon drawing. There are 2 pools (indoor and outdoor by Lake Disney), and it is a 10–12 minute walk along the lake into the park. Straight talk: the theme leans hard into superheroes, and 4-star pricing here is not light — but for a Marvel family, this is the place.

Third on the list, and the lakefront 4-star we think gives you the most for your money: Disney's Newport Bay Club is themed as a New England yacht club, all yellow-and-blue East Coast colors with a red-and-white lighthouse, sitting right on Lake Disney. The thing to know is that it is the largest hotel in the entire resort at 1,097 rooms, sprawling like a real seaside resort. The kid highlight is the indoor pool with a giant sailboat in the middle — you can swim laps around the hull — plus an outdoor pool, and Cape Cod, the restaurant that runs a character breakfast where characters come to your table. Rooms carry the nautical theme down to headboards shaped like a ship's wheel with a hidden Mickey. It is a 12-15 minute walk along the lake to the park, with a ferry and free shuttle as backup. Honest heads-up: it is so big that some rooms sit a long walk from the lobby, and it is not at the park gate — but for a lakefront 4-star resort feel at roughly half the flagship's price, it is a strong buy. Score 8.5/10.

Number 4 on our list is the one we rate the best value for families who want a real pool - Disney's Sequoia Lodge, an upper-3-star hotel themed as a sequoia-forest lodge styled after an American national park, all warm wood and stone like a cabin in the pines. It sits right on Lake Disney just like the 4-star hotels, but costs noticeably less. The real draw is Quarry Pool, a pool with indoor and outdoor sections built to look like a forest stone quarry, with slides, a waterfall and fake boulders - kids can splash all day. The lobby centers on a giant stone fireplace at Redwood Bar, cozy in a mountain-lodge way, and rooms come in forest tones with little-bear motifs. It is a 12-15 minute walk along the lake to the park, with a ferry and free shuttle as backup. Standard rooms run small and the forest palette reads a little dark, and some buildings are a long walk from the lobby - but for forest warmth, a good pool and walkable park access at a 3-star price, this is the smart pick. Score 8.3/10.

Our #5 pick is the one kids who love Toy Story go wild for — Disney's Hotel Cheyenne, a 2-star property built as a whole Wild West cowboy town: dirt streets, timber buildings straight out of a Western, General Store and Saloon signs, with kids free to wander the town like they're inside the movie. What sends them over the edge is the Toy Story tie-in — there are Woody's Roundup themed rooms (Woody, Jessie and Bullseye on the bedspreads and carpets) and a spot to meet Woody and Jessie in person for photos right in the hotel. Add the barn-style Chuck Wagon Café buffet and the Red Garter Saloon, and the starting price is very gentle — nearly half what the lakeside hotels charge. Straight talk: there's no pool, rooms run small, and you ride a shuttle about 8 minutes (you can walk, but it's a haul). If your kid is a Woody and Buzz fan and you want a real Disney hotel on a budget, it's fun and great value. Scores 8.4/10.

Number 6 is the budget pick for families whose kids love Cars — Disney's Hotel Santa Fe is a 2-star property and the cheapest hotel in the resort, built as a southwestern American Pueblo village crossed with a Cars / Route 66 theme. The detail people share most is the one that earns its keep: after dark, the earth-toned Pueblo walls light up amber gold, with shadows of Lightning McQueen, cacti and Route 66 trucks projected across the whole facade — and to be clear, those are projected shadows, not real statues. Kids who love the film get a real Radiator Springs feel. Rooms carry the Cars theme (a Lightning McQueen bedspread, a bedside lamp shaped like his E327L license plate), there is a replica drive-in screen, and La Cantina serves the cheapest buffet in the resort. The honest trade-offs are the biggest on this list: no air-con (ceiling fans only, hot in summer), no pool, and the longest walk to the park at 18-20 minutes (free shuttle about 10 minutes). Score 8.0/10.

Closing the list is the one option that breaks the mold — Disney's Davy Crockett Ranch isn't a hotel at all but a cluster of wooden bungalows scattered through a forest outside the resort, a 15-minute drive from the parks. It's built for big families, nature types, and groups traveling together who have a car. The bungalows were renovated in 2025 with a charming Donald Duck and Junior Woodchucks theme; each is a private cabin that sleeps up to 6, with a full kitchen, a terrace, and a private BBQ — cooking your own meals saves a lot. The crowd-pleaser is Blue Springs, an indoor pool that plenty of guests rank as the best in the resort, with a slide, a waterfall, and a lazy river inside a big timber lodge. Add Davy Crockett's Adventure, a treetop rope course, and Crockett's Tavern. The big catch, plainly: you must have your own car — there's no shuttle, and it's the farthest stay from the parks. But for a big family with a car who want a cabin in the woods and a great pool, it's a real bargain. Scores 8.2/10.
