A New Premium Experience for Shanghai Disney Resort
Opening as Shanghai Disney Resort’s third themed hotel, Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel marks the next step in the resort’s continuous evolution as a multi-day destination. Together with Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel, it further expands accommodation options, giving families more reasons to extend their stays and explore more of the resort.
Designed as a premium, family-friendly lakeside retreat, the Enchanted Star Hotel complements the resort’s two existing hotels through its distinctive creative concept, accommodations and integrated dining, entertainment and recreation experiences. It offers a refined setting where artistry, storytelling and relaxation come together for guests seeking a multi-day Disney vacation or premium family staycation.
A Creative Vision Guided by the Wishing Star with Inspiration Drawn from Shanghai
At the heart of Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel is the Wishing Star, an enduring symbol of Disney wishes, dreams and possibilities. The new hotel is built around this legendary Disney theme, using the Wishing Star as a narrative thread that connects its architecture, interiors, landscape and guest experiences.
Artistry, storytelling and relaxation come together to shape the hotel’s creative and design philosophy. Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel builds on the Art Nouveau style, blending it with the local architectural legacy. Flowing forms, organic details, and nature-inspired elements create an elegant visual language, while Disney storytelling guides the guest experience from arrival through bedtime.
Guided by the resort’s design principle of “Authentically Disney, Distinctly Chinese,” the hotel weaves selected local cultural influences into this broader Wishing Star story. Magnolia, the city flower of Shanghai, appears throughout the interiors and landscape; Enchanted Seasons Restaurant highlights Chinese cuisine alongside other regional and international offerings; and selected live entertainment and character experiences draw inspiration from Shanghai’s cultural heritage.
An Extension of Disney Magic Beyond the Park
From day to night, the hotel turns its creative vision into an unfolding guest journey, where dreams inspire, wishes guide and new possibilities are revealed across its spaces and experiences.
In the lobby, a spiraling chandelier cascades like a swirl of stardust above the Wishing Star, while an expansive arched window frames views of Shanghai Disneyland and the magnificent Enchanted Storybook Castle. Behind the reception desks, a sweeping mural stretches across the back wall, incorporating many iconic Disney storytelling realms in a sweeping pallet of color and story.
Guest rooms continue the story through a magical moment that brings five pieces of Disney-themed artwork to life. Pixie dust sparks a radiant starburst from Sorcerer Mickey’s wand, traveling across scenes from Disney stories of wishing.
Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel’s Garden’s Wish Pool will become the first outdoor pool in the resort’s hotel portfolio, operating during select seasons and subject to weather and operational conditions. Along with the indoor Mickey & Pals Pavilion Pool and multiple Disney-themed play spaces — including Nemo Reef Water Play, Winnie the Pooh Playhouse, and Pixie Dust Playground — offering guests a broader range of recreational options during their stay. After the opening of the new hotel, a dedicated hotel connector will link the new hotel with the adjacent Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, allowing guests staying at either hotel to enjoy access to shared recreational facilities and experiences, including in-hotel recreation, water play, and family experiences beyond the theme park.
Dining and shopping experiences continue the immersive storytelling Enchanted Seasons Restaurant blends seasonal landscapes, Disney storytelling, and Chinese and international cuisine. The Enchanted Seasons Private Dining is designed for guests seeking a premium dining experience. Journey Café, beside the lobby lounge, and Pelican Poolside Café, by the indoor pool, offer casual snacks, desserts, and beverages. At the top of the hotel, Celestial Club provides Club Room and Suite guests with panoramic views and food and beverage offerings throughout the day. Guests can also take home hotel-exclusive merchandise inspired by the hotel’s stories, characters and recreational experiences from Wonderful Wish Boutique, creating tangible memories of their stay.
A New Destination for Family Getaways and Multi-Day Resort Experiences
With its lakeside setting, the hotel offers families a premium base for staycations and multi-day visits, with convenient connections to Shanghai Disneyland, Disneytown, Wishing Star Park and experiences across the wider resort.
The nearby Wishing Star Park dock has been expanded to support increased Wishing Star Ferry demand from the two lakeside hotels to Shanghai Disneyland. Three recently installed crane sculptures by the dock and on Wishing Star Lake further connect the hotel experience with the surrounding landscape and the resort’s celebration of nature.
Together with the resort’s existing hotels, Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel gives guests more ways to stay longer, slow down, and discover Disney dining, entertainment, recreation, retail and outdoor experiences beyond a day in the theme park.
