Shanghai Disney Resort Tops Out New Disneyland Hotel

[HostDave]

In the lead-up to the Chinese Spring Festival, this week Shanghai Disney Resort celebrated the topping out of the 420-room signature Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, just 12 months after its vertical construction began. Designed to be the signature hotel of Shanghai Disney Resort, the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel will have an elegant Art Nouveau style with a touch of Disney magic and imagination. The hotel will offer guests stunning views of Shanghai Disneyland, Disneytown and the resort’s central lake.

Disney also released new aerial photos of the resort’s two themed hotels – Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and Toy Story Hotel — and a first look at progress on a major attraction — Pirates of the Caribbean: Battle for the Sunken Treasure — at the Shanghai Disneyland park. The attraction will be the centerpiece of Treasure Cove, the first Pirates-themed land, and will employ the latest technology in bringing this new land to life.

Vertical construction of Shanghai Disney Resort began in October 2013, and the resort has celebrated numerous construction milestones since then, including the topping out of the resort’s first building in Disneytown in December 2013, Toy Story Hotel in January 2014 and most recently the resort’s iconic mountain in December 2014. In April 2014, the resort’s shareholders jointly announced an accelerated expansion plan to capitalize on the tremendous growth in China’s tourism sector – adding additional attractions, entertainment and other offerings to increase capacity at the theme park on opening day.
