Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel, Anaheim, CA

In Downtown Disney District vacationers to Anaheim, California will find Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. This hotel is a modern towering structure made of white brick, with plenty of windows looking out over the park. The top floor offers guest suites with balconies, but the standard rooms do not have balconies. Signature Disney amenities and fun await guests at this hotel with 481 rooms.

Each hotel room takes one back to the boardwalk era with neutral colors on the walls, wood furniture, and cozy atmosphere. The Paradise Pier is set up for children and adults with plenty of themed areas. The guest room amenities include king or queen beds, room service, voicemail, internet access, irons, ironing boards, coffee makers, and safety deposit boxes. Cribs and rollways are available on request. All rooms are non smoking as is the entire hotel. The standard hotel room is contemporary in design with two beds. The suites offer a bit more for larger families or those that wish more space.

Included in the suites are priority check-in, cabana or poolside locales, vacation planning, continental breakfast and an evening reception, turndown service, and DVD players with movies. The rates are subject to change based on the season.

Recreation at the Paradise Pier is almost as exciting as the theme park. Children can enjoy the Paradise theater with many fairyland stories based on Disney themes. There is also the rooftop Pool and Spa which includes a waterslide for the children. Mickey's Beach Workout Room offers top of the line fitness equipment for adults. At the poolside one can sit around in lounge chairs, enjoy a bit of food and drink, and soak up the California sun.

The Paradise Pier Hotel is a bit smaller than the other Disneyland Hotels in the same area. They offer only one restaurant called the Disney PCH Grill. The grill provides many seasonal dishes with fresh fruit, seafood and more. Mickey and friends can also stop by at certain times of the day. It is a location for the breakfast buffet as well.

Disney's Paradise Pier is more for children rather than the adult or business traveler. However, there are amenities for the business traveler who might need meeting facilities. Weddings can also be held at the hotel for those that desire it. The main feature of the hotel is its location to Disneyland Parks.

Disneyland Parks has always been a popular destination for summer and winter fun. In summer one should expect the hotel to be busier and possibly booked on weekends. To see all Disney characters, one should select a package that includes visits to Disneyland Parks. The hotel offers a number of stay and play packages for all budgets to ensure children and adults can find the magic they have come to see. Around the hotel are shops, boutiques, and restaurants if one gets tired of the hotel cuisine. Disney's Paradise Pier can also arrange transportation if required for the guests of their hotel.
