Disneyland officials have submitted plans to the city of Anaheim, California to begin construction on a new luxury hotel at Disneyland. The proposal, the first for a West Coast Disney hotel property in 20 years, would be the fourth hotel located at the resort, reports the OC Register.

Plans reveal a 700-room, four-diamond hotel with plenty of luxury amenities including two pools, a fitness facility, concierge service and a kid’s play area. Guests will also be able to dine al fresco on the hotel’s rooftop restaurant, overlooking the park to catch Disneyland’s nightly firework display over Sleeping Beauty Castle. The average nightly rate is rumored to be $450.
Walt Disney’s own Imagineering team will design the hotel and surrounding areas, which haven’t been themed yet, according to Disneyland officials.
The new hotel comes as the resort starts construction on the 14-acre “Star Wars” land, expected to boost attendance to the park when it opens in late 2018 or 2019.
