Shanghai Disney Resort today announced the development of a fourth themed resort hotel, located immediately adjacent to the entrance to Shanghai Disneyland, which, upon completion, will be a gateway for its guests to begin their magical Disney Park experience. The new development plan will also include new shopping and dining experiences, allowing resort guests to have extended Disney experiences in the retail, dining and entertainment district located just outside the theme park.
These exciting new projects add to the expansion already underway at the resort, including the development of a third themed hotel on the south shore of Wishing Star Lake, a ninth themed land at Shanghai Disneyland and a major expansion of the park’s iconic Soaring Over the Horizon attraction.
The resort’s ongoing expansion and development efforts are fueled by growing demand from guests and fans from across China and around the world, as evidenced by Shanghai Disneyland’s latest milestone, welcoming its 100 millionth theme park guest since its Grand Opening.
“Guest experience is at the heart of everything we do. By blending creativity, innovation and storytelling, we continue to design and deliver new, unique experiences in true Disney style,” said Andrew Bolstein, President and General Manager of Shanghai Disney Resort. “Our latest expansion plans stand as compelling testaments to this commitment. The new hotel will become another important touchpoint of our holistic resort offering, and with the additional shopping and dining experiences, we will provide our guests with a vibrant, comprehensive vacation experience with even more dynamic options.”
The expansion will transform the area next to the Main Entrance of Shanghai Disneyland into Shanghai Disney Resort’s fourth themed hotel. Located just a few steps away from the theme park’s Main Entrance, the brand-new hotel will become the closest Disney hotel to the park, welcoming guests into a premium destination infused with Disney stories and imagination. It will feature unprecedented immersive storytelling experiences in a way that Disney uniquely brings to life.
As part of the expansion, a host of fresh and innovative shopping, dining and entertainment offerings will accompany the development of the fourth hotel, reinventing our guest experience with a new holistic resort experience. As one of the highlights of the expansion, a new Disney shopping destination, similar to the World of Disney Store that is located on the opposite side of the theme park’s Main Entrance, will immerse guests in Disney’s unique shopping experience, allowing guests to have access to the resort’s exclusive merchandise without entering the park.
The fourth hotel will be the latest addition to join Shanghai Disney Resort’s other three themed hotels, including Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, Toy Story Hotel, and the third hotel that is currently under construction, providing even more accommodation and leisure options when guests plan their Disney vacation at Shanghai Disney Resort.
The resort’s third themed hotel is currently under construction on the south side of Wishing Star Lake, adjacent to Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. This nine-floor deluxe hotel is currently undergoing interior fit-out and façade installation. Inspired by Shanghai’s unique architectural legacy, the hotel will be designed and decorated in the Art Nouveau style while incorporating the resort’s guiding principle of “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese,” offering guests an immersive themed accommodation experience. When completed, the third themed hotel will feature rooms with extraordinary views of Shanghai Disneyland, and new recreational amenities and programs, including an outdoor pool and indoor pavilion pool.
