The third hotel at Shanghai Disney Resort has an opening date, and it’s sooner than you think!
Starting December 16, 2026, Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel will welcome a new premium, family-friendly retreat along Wishing Star Lake, next to Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. With 400 rooms and suites, dining, entertainment, and recreation all under one roof, the new hotel gives you even more ways to turn a visit to Shanghai Disney Resort into a multi-day stay.
And like so much at Shanghai Disney Resort, the hotel brings together beloved Disney storytelling with details inspired by the local culture.
Discover the Design of Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel
At Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel, the timeless idea of wishing upon a star becomes the thread connecting the entire experience. Inspired by generations of Disney Animation stories, the Wishing Star comes to life throughout the hotel’s architecture, interiors, landscapes, and experiences.
You’ll see that story showcased through an elegant visual style inspired by Art Nouveau, with flowing forms, organic details, and nature-inspired elements complemented by Disney touches throughout.
The hotel also continues Shanghai Disney Resort’s “Authentically Disney, Distinctly Chinese” design approach, thoughtfully bringing local culture and Disney storytelling together. Look closely and you’ll find magnolias, the city flower of Shanghai, incorporated throughout the hotel’s interiors and gardens.
Fun Fact:
- You can also spot a magnolia at the top of Enchanted Storybook Castle, where it appears alongside a crown representing the Disney Princesses. It’s one of the many thoughtful connections that makes the storytelling at Shanghai Disney Resort uniquely its own.
Step Inside the Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel
Your experience begins the moment you step into the hotel lobby, where Disney storytelling takes center stage.
Look up and you’ll see a spectacular spiraling chandelier cascading like a swirl of stardust above the Wishing Star. Throughout the day, a little Disney magic will illuminate the fixture before culminating in a special evening surprise.
Straight ahead, expansive arched windows frame views of Enchanted Storybook Castle, while a sweeping mural behind the reception desk takes you on a continuous journey through 16 Disney stories, featuring nearly 140 characters and landscapes that transition from day to night.
As you explore, there is even more to discover. A grand staircase features magnolia artwork alongside characters from Disney Animation’s Mulan, while illuminated blossoms adjoin the staircase and other decorative details continue the hotel’s connection to Shanghai.
And the lobby itself comes alive throughout the day where Sorcerer Mickey and the Wishing Star will inspire a series of lighting moments across the chandelier and feature window arch at selected times, with even more magical surprises by the spiraling chandelier in the evening.
Explore Rooms and Suites at Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel
After checking in, the story will continue across the hotel’s 400 guest rooms and suites, with different room categories to choose from. Each room will feature Wishing Star-inspired details, including headboard artwork of Tinker Bell soaring above Shanghai Disneyland and Wishing Star Lake.
You’ll also discover a little extra magic with five pieces of Disney artwork that come to life when activated. Watch as pixie dust travels through scenes inspired by Disney stories of wishing before culminating in a radiant starburst from Sorcerer Mickey’s wand.
