The Hong Kong Disneyland Hotel is set to undergo refurbishments starting October 12 to better cater to visitors' evolving needs. Located in the resort hotel, which opened alongside the theme park two decades ago, the hotel features 400 rooms and two restaurants. Anita Lai, vice president of communications and public affairs, stated that despite the facelift, the hotel will maintain its "classic storytelling charm."
Lai explained that they have observed tourists' shifting demands and preferences, with a growing desire for immersive experiences. Consequently, the hotel's upgrade plan will prioritize storytelling and heightened service quality. Renovation work on the west wing of the hotel began in June, while the other two theme park establishments – Disney Explorers Lodge and Disney’s Hollywood Hotel – will remain operational during the closure.
Food and beverage director Manfred Wong reported that nearly 150,000 themed-dining items tied to the recent Pixar Summer Fest were consumed by visitors. The Plaza Inn restaurant, reopened in June, has welcomed over 40,000 guests so far. Additionally, the theme park has intensified efforts to offer more halal options, including frozen lollipops and Halloween-exclusive barbecue platters.
