There are seven official Disney Hotels at Disneyland Paris, and they are different enough that simply choosing the most expensive one does not necessarily make sense for every trip.
For this ranking, I put the most weight on location, overall hotel experience, amenities, value and how easy it is to get to the Disney Parks. Disneyland Hotel takes the top spot, but several lower-priced hotels make a stronger case depending on what you actually want from your stay.
Here is my current Disneyland Paris hotel ranking:
- Disneyland Hotel – best overall
- Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel – best balance of luxury and location
- Disney Newport Bay Club – best large full-service resort
- Disney Sequoia Lodge – best atmosphere, but currently under renovation
- Disney Hotel Cheyenne – best value for most families
- Disney Davy Crockett Ranch – best if you have a car and want space
- Disney Hotel Santa Fe – best for keeping the Disney Hotel price down
Disneyland Paris Hotels Compared
| Rank | Disney Hotel | Rating | Park access | Pool | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Disneyland Hotel | 5-star | At Disneyland Park entrance | Yes | Luxury and location |
| 2 | Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel | 4-star | 10-minute walk | Yes | Premium stay without Disneyland Hotel pricing |
| 3 | Newport Bay Club | 4-star | 15-minute walk | Yes | Full-service resort experience |
| 4 | Sequoia Lodge | 3-star | 15-minute walk | Yes | Woodland atmosphere |
| 5 | Hotel Cheyenne | 3-star | 20-minute walk | No | Value and families |

| 7 | Hotel Santa Fe | 2-star | 20-minute walk | No | Lower-priced Disney stay |
The walking times above are Disneyland Paris estimates. Disney also provides free hotel shuttles for Hotel New York, Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge, Cheyenne and Santa Fe. Davy Crockett Ranch is different: it is approximately a 15-minute drive from the Parks and does not have a Disney shuttle.
1. Disneyland Hotel
Disneyland Hotel is the best Disneyland Paris hotel overall if budget is not the deciding factor.
Its biggest advantage is one no other hotel can match: it sits directly at the entrance to Disneyland Park. Disney currently lists Disney Adventure World as only about a three-minute walk away as well.
The hotel reopened after an extensive transformation as Disneyland Paris’s five-star flagship, with royal Disney theming, character experiences, an indoor pool, spa, restaurants and significantly more polished rooms than the lower-tier Disney Hotels.
- Best for: special trips, luxury and maximum Park convenience
- Biggest advantage: unbeatable location
- Biggest drawback: the price premium is substantial
The question is not really whether Disneyland Hotel is the nicest property. It is whether its location and higher-end experience justify what it costs for your trip. I cover that separately in is Disneyland Hotel worth it?
2. Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel
Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is my pick for travelers who want an upscale Disney Hotel without paying for Disneyland Hotel.
Disney lists it about a 10-minute walk from the Parks, which makes it the second-most convenient hotel on foot. There is also a free shuttle.
The Marvel concept is much more polished than simple character decoration. Disney says the hotel contains more than 350 original Super Hero artworks by 110 international artists, along with experiences such as the Marvel Design Studio and Hero Photo Stations.
It also has indoor and outdoor pools, restaurants and a more contemporary atmosphere than the heavily themed budget hotels.
- Best for: couples, adults, Marvel fans and premium stays
- Biggest advantage: strong combination of quality and walkability
- Biggest drawback: still one of the more expensive choices
3. Disney Newport Bay Club
Newport Bay Club makes sense if you want the amenities of a large four-star resort but cannot justify the two hotels above it.
The New England nautical theme is more traditional than Marvel or the royal styling of Disneyland Hotel. Disney puts the walk to the Parks at around 15 minutes, with a free shuttle available as well.
One of its main advantages is the leisure setup, including pools and fitness facilities. It feels more like a conventional resort hotel than Cheyenne or Santa Fe.
- Best for: families wanting a higher-category hotel with a pool
- Biggest advantage: four-star facilities without Disneyland Hotel pricing
- Biggest drawback: its large scale can feel less intimate
4. Disney Sequoia Lodge
Sequoia Lodge would normally compete very closely with Newport Bay Club for third place. Its forest setting and lodge atmosphere give it one of the strongest senses of place among the Disney Hotels.
For 2026, however, there is an important caveat: Disney Sequoia Lodge is undergoing a major phased refurbishment.
Disney says renovation work began in early 2026. The first phase covers rooms in the five outer lodges, with redesigned rooms inspired by Bambi, Pocahontas and Pixar’s Brave expected to become available from the first quarter of 2027. Other rooms and common areas will then be renovated progressively.
The hotel remains open during the project.
Sequoia Lodge is about a 15-minute walk from the Parks and also has a free shuttle. Its pool remains another reason to consider it over the less expensive Cheyenne and Santa Fe.
- Best for: atmosphere, winter trips and woodland styling
- Biggest advantage: arguably the most relaxing Disney Hotel setting
- Biggest drawback right now: ongoing refurbishment
5. Disney Hotel Cheyenne
For many families, Hotel Cheyenne is the best-value Disneyland Paris hotel.
It keeps the experience distinctly Disney with a Wild West setting and Toy Story touches without moving into the higher price categories of Sequoia Lodge, Newport Bay Club or Hotel New York.
Disney lists the walk at around 20 minutes. A free shuttle is available if you do not want to make that walk at the beginning or end of a long Park day.
You give up the swimming pool and some of the amenities of the hotels above it, but if your room is mainly somewhere to sleep between Park days, that trade can make sense.
- Best for: families and value-conscious Disney Hotel guests
- Biggest advantage: stronger theming than you might expect at this price tier
- Biggest drawback: fewer resort-style amenities
6. Disney Davy Crockett Ranch
Davy Crockett Ranch is difficult to rank because it solves a completely different problem from the other Disney Hotels.
Instead of standard hotel rooms, you stay in cabins surrounded by woodland. The accommodation includes kitchen facilities and works particularly well for families wanting more space or travelers arriving by car.
The major drawback is transportation. Disney Davy Crockett Ranch is about a 15-minute drive from the Parks and has no Disney shuttle, so I would not choose it without a car.
It does, however, have a pool and gives you a more independent stay than the conventional Disney Hotels.
- Best for: road trips, larger families and guests who want a kitchen
- Biggest advantage: space and self-catering
- Biggest drawback: you need your own transportation
7. Disney Hotel Santa Fe
Hotel Santa Fe belongs at the bottom of the ranking not because it is a bad choice, but because its main strength is straightforward: it is the simplest official Disney Hotel.
The two-star hotel uses an American Southwest and Cars theme. Disney estimates the walk to the Parks at around 20 minutes, and there is also a free shuttle.
You do not get a pool or the fuller resort facilities found higher in the ranking. If your goal is simply staying in a Disney Hotel while keeping the package price down, that may not matter.
- Best for: keeping the cost of an official Disney Hotel lower
- Biggest advantage: straightforward Disney accommodation without paying for amenities you may not use
- Biggest drawback: the most basic overall hotel experience in the lineup

Which Disneyland Paris Hotel Is the Best Value?
Hotel Cheyenne is my best-value pick for most visitors. It preserves the themed Disney Hotel experience and free transportation while avoiding the much higher categories of Disneyland Hotel and Hotel New York.
That changes if you value different things. Davy Crockett Ranch can deliver better value for a larger group with a car, while Santa Fe can make more sense if your only goal is lowering the Disney Hotel package cost.
For adults or couples who care about the hotel itself rather than only price, Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is the stronger balance of location, facilities and atmosphere.
The Ranking Changes Depending on Your Trip
A single ranking cannot capture every reason for choosing a hotel. If one feature matters much more to you than everything else, I would use this shortlist instead:
- Best overall: Disneyland Hotel
- Best premium alternative: Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel
- Best full-service family resort: Newport Bay Club
- Best atmosphere: Sequoia Lodge
- Best value: Hotel Cheyenne
- Best with a car: Davy Crockett Ranch
- Best for a simpler Disney stay: Hotel Santa Fe
If you are deciding between Disney Hotels and accommodation elsewhere around the resort, that is a different question. Our guide to where to stay near Disneyland Paris compares Val d’Europe, Partner Hotels and other nearby options.
Walkability Matters More Than It Looks on Paper
The difference between a 10-minute and 20-minute walk may not sound important while booking. It feels more significant after a full day in the Parks.
Disneyland Hotel clearly wins for location, followed by Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel. Newport Bay Club and Sequoia Lodge are still comfortably walkable for many guests, while Cheyenne and Santa Fe sit farther out.
Disney operates free shuttles to the five Disney Hotels outside the immediate park entrance area, so walking is not mandatory. Davy Crockett Ranch is the exception and does not have a Disney shuttle.

Pools Make a Real Difference Between the Hotels
Disneyland Hotel, Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel, Newport Bay Club, Sequoia Lodge and Davy Crockett Ranch offer swimming facilities.
Hotel Cheyenne and Hotel Santa Fe do not have pools. If you are staying several nights and expect to spend time away from the Parks, that difference can matter more than it does on a short, park-heavy trip.
Our Disneyland Paris hotels with pools guide compares those facilities in more detail.
Before Choosing Based on Price Alone
I would not attach fixed nightly prices to this ranking because Disneyland Paris hotel and package prices vary significantly with the dates, party size, room category and ticket package you choose.
Instead, price the same dates across the hotels you are actually considering. A higher-category hotel can sometimes narrow the gap depending on availability, while the cheapest hotel on one set of dates may not produce the same relative saving on another.
You can also book certain Disney Hotel stays without automatically purchasing a standard Hotel + Tickets package. Our guide explains booking a Disneyland Paris hotel without tickets.
My Disneyland Paris Hotel Ranking
If I were choosing purely on the overall experience, I would book Disneyland Hotel first and Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel second. If I were trying to maximize value, I would move Hotel Cheyenne much higher on my personal shortlist.
That is why the ranking is more useful as a starting point than a rule. The best Disneyland Paris hotel depends on whether you are paying for location, luxury, theming, family space or simply somewhere convenient to sleep between Park days.
