A new phase in the Disney Hotels transformation plan is starting at Disneyland Paris, with the commencement of major refurbishment work at Disney Sequoia Lodge.
Disney Sequoia Lodge
The first phase of renovation concerns all the rooms in the five outdoor lodges, located in the heart of the sequoia forest. While preparatory works are underway, the Walt Disney Imagineering Paris teams are putting the final touches on the new model rooms.
This key step allows Imagineers to step inside their creative vision for the first time, experiencing it at full scale, as Sophie Coudré, Artistic Director at Walt Disney Imagineering Paris, explains:
‘The model rooms allow us to validate the overall artistic direction with all the teams involved, refine the creative choices, and make any necessary adjustments – particularly regarding the materials used. We are delighted with the results of these tests and look forward to welcoming our guests into the new rooms, where they can be fully immersed in the beauty of nature once the renovations are complete.’
According to Disney, the rooms will embody the new artistic direction of Disney Sequoia Lodge, honoring the beauty of nature while celebrating beloved Disney characters who call the forest home, including Bambi and friends, as well as the characters from Pixar’s Brave.
Following this phase, the remainder of the rooms, along with all key areas of Disney Sequoia Lodge – including the lobby and shopping and dining locations – will be reinvented as an ode to wildlife, offering an environment to unwind and let one’s mind wander. The hotel will remain open during the refurbishment work, which will be carried out in phases.
Previously at Disneyland Paris, both the Disney Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel and Disneyland Hotel have been refurbished. Disneyland Paris will also be receiving a seventh hotel to replace the Events Arena, as announced in January 2025.
