Shanghai Disney Resort has shockingly announced the construction of a 4th resort hotel, while the 3rd remains under construction and is still without a name.
Shanghai Disney Resort Hotel Construction
In an Instagram post, Shanghai Disney Resort shared the following along with the new art above:
We’re once again expanding the fun! #ShanghaiDisneyResort is building a fourth Disney themed hotel, and expanding our shopping, dining, and entertainment district!
The new hotel will be located immediately adjacent to the #ShanghaiDisney entrance, making it the closest Disney hotel to the park and a perfect gateway for guests to begin their magical experience.
The new development will include new shopping experiences!
The announcement comes as Shanghai Disneyland hits a significant milestone, welcoming its 100 millionth guest in just over nine years!
Stay tuned for more exciting updates!
The 4th hotel will be located near the entrance of Shanghai Disneyland and will easily be the closest to the park entrance.
As seen above, it is believed that the 4th resort hotel will be located to the right of the park entrance on an expansion pad that has been earmarked for such a project since before the opening of the park in 2016. Disney promises that guests will be immersed in Disney’s signature storytelling and innovation from the moment they arrive at the hotel, with unique accommodations and exclusive access to areas that extend the magic beyond the park.
Disneytown is the shopping and dining district adjacent to the park (to the left in the above aerial map), acting as the Downtown Disney or Disney Springs of Shanghai Disney Resort. It appears there will be new shopping and dining opportunities as part of Disneytown that will now reach around and to the right of the park’s main entrance.
The still-unnamed 3rd hotel at Shanghai Disney Resort (seen above) will have Art Nouveau-inspired architecture paying homage to Shanghai’s early 20th-century architectural legacy. It will be the smallest of Shanghai Disney Resort’s three hotels with just 400 rooms. The two hotels currently open at the resort are the 420-room Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and the 795-room Toy Story Hotel.
Based on the concept art, the 4th hotel seems to be another 5-story hotel with probably only a few hundred rooms, but that is not confirmed at this time. No additional details on the 4th hotel have been announced, and we will probably have to wait until we have more details on the currently-under-construction 3rd hotel before we learn more.
