New hotel for Tokyo Disney
Tokyo Disney Resort is set to get a new hotel next year, to be called the Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel.
The new property, located outside the park but branded as a Disney hotel, will be housed on the site of two existing hotels – the Fountain Terrace and Palm Terrace hotels.
On completion next year it will have 702 rooms and feature Tokyo Disneyland Park and Tokyo DisneySea Park themes in the guestrooms, lobby and the courtyards.
It becomes the fourth Tokyo Disney themed hotel, and will open in two phases from June 2016.
The three billion yen (US$25.1 million) project is being developed by Milial Resort Hotels.
Disney says added room capacity will help meet growing demand as the three existing park hotels – the Disney Ambassador Hotel, Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta and Tokyo Disneyland Hotel are all operating at above 90% annual occupancy rate.
