The Pixar Place Hotel Experience

The magic of Pixar is set to envelop guests in an all-new way! The iconic Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel at Disneyland Resort is undergoing a transformation, and come January 30, 2024, it will emerge as the Pixar Place Hotel. This marks the debut of the first-ever hotel in the U.S. dedicated entirely to the whimsy and wonder of Pixar. Let’s dive into what awaits you!

A Lobby That Narrates Pixar’s Legacy

The Pixar Place Hotel promises a journey from the initial spark of an idea to the final frame of a Pixar movie. The lobby, adorned with rare sketches and designs, will be a visual treat, showcasing the evolution of beloved Pixar characters. And the pièce de résistance? The iconic Pixar Lamp playfully positioned on its ball, casting a warm glow beneath a mobile of Pixar’s most cherished characters. This installation captures the essence of Pixar’s animation process, where characters are first visualized in their elemental forms.

Guest Rooms: A Pixar Dreamland

Step into a room where Pixar’s magic is palpable. From bedding that pays homage to the iconic Pixar Ball to lighting fixtures inspired by the Pixar Lamp, every corner tells a story. Unique artwork, some crafted exclusively by Pixar Animation Studios for this hotel, will adorn the walls. The headboards, in particular, will be a mosaic of concept art from films like “The Incredibles” and “Toy Story 3”, illustrating the significance of color in setting a scene’s mood.

Great Maple: A Culinary Delight Awaits

Foodies, rejoice! The renowned Great Maple restaurant is set to open its doors this November. Known for its modern American cuisine, guests can expect a tantalizing array of dishes. From the spicy Cajun Shrimp & Cheddar Biscuit Benedict to the delectable Buttermilk Fried Chicken & Maple Bacon Doughnuts, there’s something for every palate.

But that’s not all! The Sketch Pad Café, a chic coffee shop, will soon serve aromatic brews and pastries. And for those who prefer alfresco dining, the rooftop pool bar, Small Bytes, will offer a curated menu of light bites and refreshing drinks.
