Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel |
Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel, formerly the Disneyland Pacific Hotel, is a resort hotel at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California USA. It offers the ambiance of an intimate beach resort and many of the guest rooms overlook Paradise Pier, the waterfront land in Disney's California Adventure Park.
The hotel contains 489 rooms, 29 of them suites, over 30,000 square feet (3,000 m²) for meeting space and a 7,250-square-foot (670 m²) ballroom.
Hotel guests used to have their own entrance to Disney's California Adventure Park, located between the Corn Dog Castle and Souvenir 66 in the Paradise Pier section of the park, but it was closed due to low use.
The pool was recently renovated to include a waterslide themed to the California Screamin' roller coaster, known as California Streamin'.

[edit] History
The hotel originally started out as the Emerald Hotel in 1984 and was later known as the Pan Pacific Hotel. Disney purchased it in December of 1995 and changed its name to the Disneyland Pacific Hotel. In December of 2000, the hotel was remodeled and reopened as Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. This was done to match one of the themed lands in Disney's California Adventure Park.
[edit] 13th floor
The hotel is unique in the Western Hemisphere for being one of the few buildings to actually have a 13th floor as opposed to the more common practice of skipping 13 and going straight from 12 to 14. This is a result of the original owners being Japanese and in accordance with eastern culture, did not consider the number bad luck. Disney has not since changed this.
