Disneyland Hotel
When you think of the hotels in Disneyland Paris, the first one to pop into your mind will probably be the well-known majestic Victorian-style hotel that is located at the entrance of the park. The 5 Key Disneyland Hotel sparks of magic and will make your childhood dreams come true. The rooms have an old-fashioned décor that will make you feel like a prince or princess as you sleep in the luxurious king-sized bed.
If your budget allows, you can upgrade to one of the different Suites or Castle Club rooms. If you do, a VIP Fastpass comes with it, as well as the opportunity to meet some familiar faces at the breakfast club… the Disney Characters.
You can enjoy delicious food at the family-friendly California Grill or the open kitchen buffet overlooking Maine Street at Inventions (where the character dining takes place) and you can finish the day with some fancy drinks at the Café Fantasia. The breakfast buffet that’s included in the Castle Club Rooms or the Suites is served at Inventions.
