There's only one word for the new Grand Californian Hotel in the Disneyland Resort - opulant. From the start, this 751-room hotel has been designed to fit in with Disney's plan to make the Disneyland Resort a packagable commodity that can be sold as both a vacation destination and a convention center. There are 713 standard rooms, 34 Artisan Suites, 2 vice-presidential suites, and 2 presidential suites. There's over 20,000 square feet of meeting and banquet space, ranging from trhe 12,600 square-foot Sequoia ballroom to smaller conference room - all equipped with the latest in digital communication and multimedia facilities. Combined with the Disneyland Hotel and the Pacific Pier Hotel, they can easily handle all but the very largest conventions. |
But the granddaddy, the king, is the Grand Californian. A luxury hotel from top to bottom. Designed to exemplify the Arts and Crafts Movement of the early 20th century, the hotel features woods from the Monterey pines to exquisite redwoods. You'll also find fine dining and shopping opportunities at every corner, and underground valet parking - its all here. Such pampering has a price, of course, so be prepared to do some significant damage to your bank account if you choose to stay here. Prices start at about $300.00 a night. |

One of the perks of staying at a Disneyland Resort hotel is the character breakfast. Walk Around characters are there to entertain the kids and get them into the Disney spirit for the day. The picture here is taken in the Grand Californian's Storytellers Cafe where the kids are also entertained by Belle from Beauty and the Beast who reads a story to them and the characters act out the parts. The cafe also offers classic American cuisine for lunch and dinner. The featured dining room of the Grand Californian is the Napa Rose Restaurant with noted chef Andrew Sutton. The 237-seat restaurant features a display kitchen and a 78-seat lounge. For lighter fare, there's the White Water Snacks stand by the pool. The Hearthstone Lounge features gourmet coffee and wine and cocktails in the evening for relaxing after a long day's fun. |
Another perk of your stay is early entry into the parks - usually about an hour before they open to the general public. Located adjacent to California, the Grand Californian has its own gate into the new park. As a guest of a Disney hotel, you can buy special multi-day/multi-park passes at promotional prices. And if you and your partner want to spend an evening enjoying Downtown Disney, the hotel offers supervised playroom for children. |
