- The Villas at Disneyland Hotel is a new 12-story hotel tower inspired by classic animated films.
- The hotel has 344 rooms ranging from duo studios to two-story villas that cost $6,000+ a night.
On Thursday, Disneyland Hotel opened The Villas, one of the most luxurious additions to the property.
The tower features 344 rooms and is just steps away from the California theme parks. Rooms are decorated with details and artwork from animated Disney classics and range from two-person duo studios to mega villas.
Prices per night vary based on demand and dates but generally range from $390 to over $6,000. As a member of the media, I was able to tour the properties before they opened.
Here's a look inside The Villas.
The hotel is filled with artwork from the moment you enter the lobby.
A sprawling mural in the lobby depicts past and present Disney characters, from "Lion King" animals to "Jungle Book" leads.
This art piece was made exclusively for the tower by Lorelay Bové, who served as the associate production designer on projects like Disney's "Encanto."
The lobby has mid-century and contemporary influences.
The hotel is filled with retro design details, mid-century modern furniture, and a ton of color.
Some details seem to be inspired by the works of Mary Blair, a legendary Disney artist behind It's a Small World.
Special Disney details are everywhere — even on the floor.
The carpet has hidden Mickey Mouse heads, and the hotel is filled with display cases of replica Walt Disney Animation Studios artifacts and sketches.
The lowest-tier rooms are duo studios themed after "The Jungle Book."
The most basic rooms available are "Jungle Book"-inspired studios designed for two people.
Their size resembles a basic cruise-ship cabin, and the queen bed tucks into the wall and is replaced with a couch when it's not in use. The room has fun, colorful details including a lyric from the movie soundtrack hidden in the rug.
Prices range from about $390 to over $800 a night and cost more if you choose a studio with a balcony.
Each studio has a kitchenette.
Each room in the new section of the hotel features a kitchenette or a larger full kitchen.
The duo studio's kitchenette has a small fridge, coffee maker, and microwave.
The deluxe studios are themed after "Sleeping Beauty" or "Princess and the Frog."
Deluxe studios are inspired by "Princess and the Frog" or "Sleeping Beauty" and touches of the movies can be found throughout murals and concept art in the space.
The deluxe studios typically range from $750 to $1,165 a night.
Deluxe studios can accommodate up to four guests.
The deluxe studio can sleep four and its layout is similar to a standard hotel room.
It has a queen bed and a pull-down, queen-sized Murphy bed hidden behind a couch.
Each deluxe studio has a bathroom with a walk-in rain shower and large vanity mirrors.
The mirrors in the "Sleeping Beauty" rooms even have light-up fairies from the movie on them.
The one-bedroom villas have a separate bedroom, living area, and full kitchen.
Themed to either "Princess and the Frog" or "Fantasia," these can sleep up to five, with a king-sized bed in the main bedroom and two Murphy beds — a twin and a queen — in the living room.
The one-bedroom villas (and larger) also come with washers and dryers.
They typically cost over $1,700 a night.
The two-bedroom villas can accommodate up to nine guests.
Two-bedroom villas are themed after "Princess and the Frog" or "Fantasia" and can sleep nine.
Both the one- and two-bedroom villas have full kitchens and en-suite bathrooms with double vanities, walk-in showers, and mosaic-style tile murals.
The two-bedroom villas cost about $2,500 a night to reserve.
The property's biggest offering is the three-bedroom grand villa for up to 12 guests.
The property's most luxurious offering is the three-bedroom grand villa that sleeps up to 12 guests. It has one king bed, four queens, and two twin-size beds that pull down from the wall.
The villa typically costs $6,000 or more a night.
Two-story glass windows are the highlight of the villa.
The grand villa's massive two-story window looks out over the resort and a private balcony.
The balcony is massive with tons of seating.
The large window features a double-sided fireplace that connects the indoor space to a private outdoor balcony. It's the only balcony of its kind on Disneyland property.
On the first-floor is a kitchen, living area, and dining area.
The kitchen features an island with seating, a dishwasher, a coffee maker, a stove, and a large fridge.
The "Bambi"-themed main suite has a massive bathroom attached to it.
The "Bambi" main bedroom is on the first floor and features a king-sized bed.
The star of the room, though, is probably its en-suite bathroom. The marble-tiled space has a soaking tub, walk-in shower, double vanity, and dressing table.
A large spiral staircase is another highlight of the space.
Upstairs are two bedrooms inspired by "Frozen" and "Moana," two more bathrooms, and a full-size washer and dryer.
The Villas also have a pool with mid-century modern design and accents.
The Villas has its own set of amenities, including the Palette Pool, a "Steamboat Willie"-themed children's water splash pad, the Palm Breeze Bar, and a fitness center.
Any guests at the Disneyland Hotel can use these amenities.
Although The Villas are connected to the Disneyland Hotel property, they have a more boutique feel.
Disney has created a unique upscale resort with a boutique feel by pairing its classic stories with mid-century modern and contemporary designs.
The property has many special details, from light-up artwork embedded in bathroom mirrors to movie quotes embroidered on the carpet.
The Villas are a Disney Vacation Club resort, meaning it's open to the general public for limited bookings but members of the timeshare program have priority access. Disney Vacation Club members can redeem points for stays and regular guests can pay cash rates.
