Disneyland Paris hotels: where to stay near the parks

The train from Paris stops right by the castle, and since March 2026 the second park has a new name and a whole Frozen land. These are the hotels we would book, from the castle at the gates to the apartments in Val d'Europe.

At half past nine the queue for Frozen Ever After is already growing. The family staying closest to the gates walked in when the park opened. That is the main reason to think hard about where you stay.

Disneyland Paris lies in Marne-la-Vallée, around 40 minutes east of central Paris on the RER A. The resort has two parks: Disneyland Park with the castle, and Disney Adventure World, known as Walt Disney Studios until 29 March 2026.

In short

The Disneyland Hotel at the entrance to Disneyland Park is the best hotel at Disneyland Paris for families who want to walk straight in. To spend less, the partner hotels in Val d'Europe offer free shuttles and rooms for four or more, one train stop away.

At the gates of Disneyland Park · Disney's own hotel

How to choose a Disneyland Paris hotel

  • Disney hotels sit inside the resort. Some are within walking distance of the parks, and all have free shuttles. Guests often get into the parks earlier than day visitors.

  • Partner hotels in Val d'Europe and Val de France have free shuttles and lower prices. Several have apartments with kitchens.

  • Hotels in Paris suit families combining the parks with the city. Stay near an RER A station and the train runs straight to Marne-la-Vallée-Chessy.

At the gates: the Disney hotels

The Disney hotels cost the most, but you skip the shuttle and can head back to the room at midday. With children who still nap, that is worth a lot.
