To choose your hotel at Disneyland Paris in 2026, start with your priority: budget, proximity to the parks, a pool or early entry. Guests at all seven Disney hotels can enjoy Extra Magic Time, which lets them enter the parks before they open to the public. It’s a real advantage if you want to start the day with the rides you’re most looking forward to.

For staying closest to the parks

The Disneyland Hotel is right at the entrance to Disneyland Park. It’s the luxury option, with an indoor pool, spa and character encounters, but also the most expensive. With young children, being able to return to your hotel for a rest so close to the parks can make a big difference.

Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel and Newport Bay Club are both rated four stars. The first puts superheroes in the spotlight, with more than 350 Marvel artworks, and is about a ten-minute walk from the parks. The second has a New England nautical theme and swimming pools. Both also offer a free shuttle.

The three-star Sequoia Lodge has a woodland chalet feel and a pool. Allow about a 15-minute walk to the parks, or take the free shuttle. The hotel has been undergoing a phased renovation since early 2026 while remaining open.

For keeping an eye on your budget

The three-star Hotel Cheyenne blends a western atmosphere with Toy Story touches. It is often described as a good compromise for families, but it has no pool. The parks are about a 20-minute walk away, or you can take the free shuttle.

Hotel Santa Fe is the least expensive official option. This two-star hotel takes inspiration from the American Southwest and Cars; it has no pool, and a free shuttle connects it to the parks. For families arriving by car who would like a kitchenette, Davy Crockett Ranch offers woodland cabins about a 15-minute drive away. There is no Disney shuttle to the ranch.

The small detail that could change your choice

Prices vary by hotel, season and package. To try to pay less, aim for January, February or September outside school holidays, and book several months ahead, especially for Halloween. Compare prices for the same dates before booking: if early entry and the attractions in the Frozen-themed expansion are your priority, choosing a Disney hotel close to the parks could also make your morning easier.

To compare the hotels and their benefits, Ayther details the options for 2026. One thing to note before booking: partner hotels, located 10 or 15 minutes away by shuttle, do not provide access to Extra Magic Time, which is reserved for Disney hotels.
