LPWire: Tokyo Disney Resort Announces Third Hotel

New Disney Hotel to Open in Tokyo Disney Resort
Oriental Land Co, Ltd. has announced the signing of an agreement with The Walt Disney Company to open a third Disney hotel within Tokyo Disney Resort in 2008 (tentative). The nine-story high hotel will have about 700 guestrooms and will be larger than either of the other two Disney hotels, the Disney Ambassador Hotel and Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta.
These hotels have annual occupancy rates of over
90% so a third Disney hotel will enable more guests to stay within the Tokyo
Disney Resort and conveniently enjoy all that it has to offer, including two
theme parks, dining, shopping and entertainment.
The new hotel will be built in front of Tokyo Disneyland Park in the current
Guest parking area with the Disney Resort Line’s Tokyo Disneyland Station
situated between the hotel and the Park. As park of the construction a new
1,800-car parking structure will be built near the hotel for Tokyo Disneyland
guests
The exterior of the new hotel will reflect the early 20th-century Victorian
architectural style of the Park’s World Bazaar themed land and Tokyo Disneyland
Station. While grand and elegant, the hotel will generate a friendly, welcoming
atmosphere that will give guests a taste of the enchanting experiences that
await them in Tokyo Disney Resort. The typical guestroom will be spacious enough
for a family to stay in comfort.
