Shanghai, August 31, 2023 – Construction officially commenced today on the development of Shanghai Disney Resort’s third themed hotel, a new expansion that will further cultivate the highly popular resort’s credentials as a multi-day tourism destination. Positioned as a deluxe hotel with 400 rooms, when opened the new hotel will join the elegant 420-room Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and the playful 795-room Toy Story Hotel, to provide resort guests with even more accommodation options. Leaders and representatives of Shanghai Shendi Group, The Walt Disney Company, Shanghai Disney Resort and the Administrative Commission of Shanghai International Resort attended the early morning groundbreaking ceremony, which represented the official commencement of construction.
Located on the shores of Wishing Star Lake, the new hotel will provide extraordinary views of Shanghai Disneyland, and offer broad family appeal and experiences with exciting new indoor and outdoor recreational amenities and programming.
Influenced by Art Nouveau architecture and design – and infused with Disney storytelling and whimsy – the hotel design will be an homage to Shanghai’s unique early 20th century architectural legacy, while staying true to Shanghai Disney Resort’s overall planning principle of being “authentically Disney and distinctly Chinese.”
Continuing the Disney-themed hotel tradition of extending the Disney magic beyond the company’s iconic theme parks, the new hotel will immerse guests in spaces and activities which showcase Disney characters and stories, introduce new dining, shopping and entertainment experiences, and provide more options for guests planning multi-day visits to the resort.
As a one-of-a-kind vacation destination for guests from near and far, Shanghai Disney Resort encompasses Shanghai Disneyland, Disneytown, two themed hotels, Wishing Star Park and other outdoor recreation areas. With the addition of a third hotel, guests of all ages will discover even more reasons to visit this destination time and time again.
