Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel Review

Choosing the right hotel is crucial for any trip, and when it comes to Hong Kong, choosing the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel can make your Disney adventure truly magical! Here's my full review based on personal experience.

Introduction to the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel

Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel review

The Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel is a luxury resort located on Lantau Island, just steps away from Hong Kong Disneyland itself. With its Victorian-themed architecture, sweeping ocean views, and proximity to the park, it’s easily one of the top Disney hotels I’ve stayed in.

One of the standout features of this hotel is its luxurious design. It’s smaller but reminiscent of the Grand Floridian at Walt Disney World and the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel. The intricate details, large windows, and stunning chandeliers make the experience feel elegant from the moment you step inside.

Location, Location, Location!

One of the biggest perks of staying at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel is the location. While it's not as close as some other Disney hotels around the world, the 7-10 minute walk to the park is scenic and relaxing. Honestly, I preferred walking over taking the shuttle because the peaceful stroll made me feel like I was already inside the park. It’s something you don’t often get with Disney resorts, especially during off-peak times when the paths are empty.

Plus, the proximity to the bay gives you some incredible views, reminding you that you're on a lush, tropical island. If you’re there during the off-season, it’s not uncommon to have the walking paths almost entirely to yourself, making it an intimate experience that sets it apart from Disney resorts worldwide.

Rooms and Amenities: What to Expect

The rooms at Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel are elegant but cozy, with a mix of Victorian design and subtle Disney touches. I particularly loved the slippers they provide at check-in—Disney knows how to make you feel pampered! The pastel colors give it a vintage feel, and while the rooms weren’t overly large or unique, they were comfortable and very clean.

A key feature here is the breathtaking views. Depending on your room, you might have sweeping vistas of the bay or lush gardens. If you're lucky, you’ll even catch a stunning sunset right from your window.

Dining at the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel

The hotel is home to several dining options that range from upscale to character-themed. My personal favorite was Crystal Lotus, where I had some of the best dim sum I've ever tasted! If you’re into Disney character dining, Enchanted Garden Restaurant is perfect for that magical experience. And for a more casual meal, Walt’s Café offers some tasty American classics.

For guests looking for an additional experience, make sure to book a character dining reservation early, as these tend to fill up fast, especially on weekends.

Outdoor Fun: Pools and Inspiration Lake

One of the things that really surprised me about the Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel was the tropical vibe. The hotel has two pools—one indoor and one outdoor—that are great for a mid-day break from the park. During the off-season, these pools were practically empty, making it feel like my own private oasis.

If you're craving some relaxation outside the hotel, head over to Inspiration Lake, which is just a short walk away. It’s perfect for a peaceful afternoon of paddle boating, kite-flying, or just strolling around. Keep in mind that while the lake can get busy on weekends with local day-trippers, it’s still a beautiful escape.
