"Guest rooms, public spaces and gardens will provide views of the Downtown Disney District," they said. "In addition, an upper-level restaurant and lounge will give guests a view of the popular Disneyland park fireworks."

The ground level of the hotel will include shops and restaurants opening onto an expansive landscaped plaza complete with playful water features, creating a gathering place for guests and visitors. The new hotel also connects all four Hotels of the Disneyland Resort through lush gardens and beautifully landscaped walkways, transforming the gateway on the west side and creating a welcoming entry for our Disneyland Resort guests.

"This new hotel creates great benefits for the community, generating approximately $25 million in new taxes in its first five years of operation that go directly to Anaheim’s general fund," they said. "It also will create thousands of additional construction and permanent jobs and attract new hotel guests to the resort area."

Construction is scheduled to start in summer 2018, with a grand opening slated for 2021.
