Accommodations, amenities and features
Guests staying at any of the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort can enjoy magical benefits such as preferred access to a limited number of hotel restaurant reservations, a variety of hotel guest activities and Early Entry, which offers admission to a designated theme park 30 minutes earlier than the general public to enjoy select attractions, shopping and dining.
Dining:
- Great Maple, located on the ground floor near the lobby, serves playful takes on upscale comfort food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- The Sketch Pad Café serves a grab-and-go selection of coffee, pastries and teas. The wall décor shows a timeline of Pixar films conveyed through character design.
- Small Bytes is available seasonally on the rooftop pool deck where guests can order salads, wraps, assorted cheese plates and more with signature beverages.
Shopping: Just off the lobby, STOR-E is a nod to the film “WALL-E.” Pixar-themed apparel and toys, along with Disneyland Resort souvenirs and sundries, are available here.
Special Theme Park Access: Guests of Pixar Place Hotel can enjoy a convenient, dedicated entrance to Disney California Adventure Park just a short walk from the hotel, with a valid park ticket and theme park reservation.
Lobby: A sculpture of the iconic Pixar Lamp balancing atop its ball is the focal point of the lobby, with an imaginative mobile of beloved Pixar characters floating from the skylight above. The mobile depicts characters at the beginning stages of Pixar filmmaking, when the artists create the characters’ most basic shapes and colors.
Concierge Lounge: Available to club-level guests, the Creators Club on the second floor has snacks and beverages available throughout the day. The lounge showcases the collaboration between Pixar and Walt Disney Imagineering, featuring Pixar attraction posters, concept art and a playlist of tunes from Pixar experiences in Disney parks around the world.
Guest Rooms: The bright and whimsical décor gives nods to Pixar throughout the comfortable and contemporary accommodations, with art curated expressly for the hotel and a Pixar Lamp in each room.
Signature Suites: Pixar Place Hotel has two signature suites, the Pixel Suite and Sketch Suite.
Themed Signature Suites: Two new themed premium suites will be available later in 2025. The Coco Suite, inspired by Pixar’s “Coco,” is a cozy yet luxurious two-bedroom suite that pays tribute to Miguel and the Rivera’s family’s legacy through vibrant Oaxacan art. The two-bedroom Incredibles Suite blends midcentury modern design with a spy-fi twist, showcasing iconic Parr family memorabilia from The Incredibles.
Pool Area: Hotel guests can take a ride down Crush’s Surfin’ Slide, splash in the Pixel Pool and play in Nemo’s Cove, a pop-jet splash pad picturing characters like Hank, Squirt, Dory and Marlin. Guests may choose to relax at night around fire pits sculpted to the likeness of some of Pixar’s most hotheaded characters, including Ember from “Elemental” and Anger from “Inside Out”; and watch fireworks from this rooftop deck on select nights.
Pixar Shorts Court: Outdoor games adjacent to the rooftop pool pay homage to Pixar short films, such as Bao Toss, Follow the Leader, Shuffleboard and Burrow Path – respectively themed to “Bao,” “For the Birds” “La Luna” and “Burrow.” The nearby umbrella counter is an area to enjoy food and drinks under the love-struck umbrellas from “The Blue Umbrella.”
Fun Facts:
- Specially composed for Pixar Place Hotel, the lobby music includes 10 arrangements of Pixar cues and celebrates favorite themes from many Pixar films.
- At select times, Joe Gardner from “Soul” may be seen and heard playing the piano near the hotel’s staircase, as he shares anecdotes and loses himself in “The Zone.”
- The 16 Pixar character silhouettes embedded in the lobby floor and elevator cabs are a nod to the floor details found at Pixar Animation Studios in Emeryville, Calif.
- At select times, Bing Bong from Pixar’s “Inside Out” may be found creating core photo memories with guests.
- The artwork at the rooftop Small Bytes bar exterior features pixel-art style character portraits, which is a nod to the use of computer technology in Pixar’s films.
