Disneyland plans to build a fourth themed hotel at the Anaheim park after submitting plans to local officials.
Plans have been lodged for a 700-room ‘flagship’ hotel which would break ground in 2018 and open in 2021.
Plans for the 10 acre site include a rooftop restaurant, two pools, a fitness center and kids play zone.
If granted it would be the first new hotel built in the park for 20 years.
"At this time, we’re getting about $35,000 in property tax from the Downtown Disney parking lot. If the Disney luxury hotel is built, we will get multiple times the revenue for the city.That’s entirely new income and we’re always trying to pay down our debt and provide more services for the residents," said councilwoman Lucille Kring.
"With ‘Star Wars’ coming and the convention center expansion opening next year, there’s a lot of good stuff happening here in Anaheim," Kring said.
"This new flagship hotel would create thousands of jobs and benefit Anaheim with more than $750 million in additional tax revenue over the next four decades, while helping the city reach its stated goal of attracting more high-end visitors," Disneyland spokeswoman Suzi Brown said.
Disney is investing about $2 billion in the park over the next 10 years, including the construction of the highly anticipated ‘Star Wars’ theme land.
