Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel
Tokyo DisneySea Fantasy Springs Hotel is a hotel at Tokyo Disney Resort in Urayasu, Chiba, Japan, located inside Fantasy Springs, the eighth themed port of Tokyo DisneySea. It opened on June 6, 2024, at the same time as Fantasy Springs itself, and became the resort's sixth Disney hotel and its second hotel built inside a park, after the Tokyo DisneySea Hotel MiraCosta.[1][2]
History
Fantasy Springs was the largest expansion in Tokyo DisneySea's history, adding areas themed to Frozen, Tangled and Peter Pan around a story of magical springs. A hotel placed inside the new port was part of the project from its announcement, rather than a later addition. Reservations for the opening period were released in stages in February and March 2024, and the hotel opened with the port on June 6, 2024.
Its arrival changed the shape of the resort's hotel range. Where MiraCosta had shown in 2001 that a hotel could form part of a park's scenery, Fantasy Springs Hotel applied the same idea to a single themed land, so that a stay in the hotel is also a stay inside the story of Fantasy Springs.
Two buildings
The hotel is made up of two connected but distinct buildings offering two different levels of accommodation under one hotel name, a first for a Tokyo Disney hotel.[3]
Fantasy Chateau is the larger, deluxe-type building, with 419 rooms. Its decoration draws on the plants and animals of Fantasy Springs, with floral patterns carried through wallpaper and lighting and artwork referring to Walt Disney Animation Studios stories including Tangled and Bambi. Rooms are grouped by outlook, including bayside, entrance-side, rose-court and springs-side positions, and some face directly into the port.
Grand Chateau is the smaller, luxury-type building, with 56 rooms, described by the operator as the finest accommodation at Tokyo Disney Resort. Every Grand Chateau room has a balcony or terrace looking over Fantasy Springs, and the rooms are considerably larger than those in Fantasy Chateau. Taken together, the two buildings give the hotel 475 rooms.
Dining and amenities
Fantasy Chateau guests dine principally at the Fantasy Springs Restaurant, the hotel's buffet restaurant. Grand Chateau has its own French restaurant, La Libellule, and the Grand Paradis Lounge, which serves Grand Chateau guests. The hotel also contains a shop, Fantasy Springs Gifts.
The most distinctive amenity is position rather than a facility. The hotel has a dedicated entrance into Fantasy Springs, and guests staying at the hotel have been able to enter the port through that connection. Because Fantasy Springs was, at opening, the most sought-after area in the park, that direct access — and, for Grand Chateau guests, a view of the port from a private terrace — became central to the hotel's appeal and to its pricing, with Grand Chateau rooms priced well above any other rooms at the resort.
