Shanghai Disney Resort has announced an opening date for its new hotel, the Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel.
Located adjacent to the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and overlooking Shanghai Disneyland and Wishing Star Lake, the resort's third Disney-themed hotel will open on 16 December.
The 400-room premium property is inspired by the architecture of early 20th-century Shanghai and features an Art Nouveau style.
The hotel blends Disney storytelling with local influences across its design, operations, food and beverage, merchandise, and entertainment.
It features various types of guest rooms, as well as indoor swimming facilities and multiple themed play areas inspired by Disney characters and stories.
Additionally, the property will offer the first outdoor swimming pool in Shanghai Disney Resort’s hotel portfolio, subject to weather and operating conditions.
Restaurants in the new hotel include the Enchanted Seasons Restaurant, which combines Disney storytelling with Chinese and international cuisine.
Shanghai Disney Resort announced the name of its third hotel earlier this year as part of its 10th anniversary celebrations.
"When we opened these gates, we believed we could create something the world had never seen – a place where Disney storytelling met Chinese culture in a way that was genuinely new," said Josh D'Amaro, CEO of Disney.
"More than one hundred million guest visits later, Shanghai Disney Resort stands as one of this company's proudest achievements," he added.
"As we celebrate the park's first decade and look to its next, what excites me most is that we're just getting started."
As part of a major expansion, Shanghai Disney Resort is also introducing a fourth themed hotel and building a new residential community for cast members.
