Charlyn Keating ChisholmThis triumph of Arts and Crafts style and tribute to timeless architecture and attention to detail is nestled right inside Disney's California Adventure park. Disneyland's most luxurious hotel sits in a prime location, partly within the California Adventure theme park. The hotel has private entrances to both Downtown Disney and California Adventure. The stunning lobby rises several stories, and Arts and Crafts stylistic touches are everywhere. Napa Rose is the fine dining choice, while Storyteller's Cafe is a good casual choice for families. $$$$

Rooms abound with
classic Disneyland touches. The
Peter Pan themed swimming pool with two water slides is open year-round. $$$
