Wishing Star Theming
At the heart of Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel is the Wishing Star, a symbol of Disney wishes, dreams and possibilities. The new hotel is built around this Disney theme, using the Wishing Star as a narrative thread that connects its architecture, interiors, landscape and guest experiences.
Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel builds on the Art Nouveau style, blending it with the local architectural legacy. The hotel boasts flowing forms, organic details, and nature-inspired elements to create an elegant visual language. Magnolia, the city flower of Shanghai, appears throughout the interiors and landscape. Enchanted Seasons Restaurant highlights Chinese cuisine alongside other regional and international offerings, and selected live entertainment and character experiences draw inspiration from Shanghai’s cultural heritage.
In the lobby, a chandelier sits above the Wishing Star, while an arched window frames views of Shanghai Disneyland and the Enchanted Storybook Castle. Behind the reception desks, a large mural stretches across the back wall, incorporating many iconic Disney stories.
Guest rooms continue the story that brings five pieces of Disney-themed artwork to life. Pixie dust sparks a starburst from Sorcerer Mickey’s wand, traveling across scenes from Disney stories of wishes.
Shanghai Disney Enchanted Star Hotel’s Garden’s Wish Pool will become the first outdoor pool at Shanghai Disney Resort, operating during select seasons and subject to weather and operational conditions.
There is also the indoor Mickey & Pals Pavilion Pool and multiple Disney-themed play spaces – including Nemo Reef Water Play, Winnie the Pooh Playhouse, and Pixie Dust Playground.
After the opening of the new hotel, a dedicated hotel connector will link the new hotel with the adjacent Shanghai Disneyland Hotel, allowing guests staying at either hotel to enjoy access to shared recreational facilities and experiences, including in-hotel recreation, water play, and family experiences beyond the theme park.
As for dining, the immersive storytelling Enchanted Seasons Restaurant blends seasonal landscapes, Disney storytelling, and Chinese and international cuisine. The Enchanted Seasons Private Dining is designed for guests seeking a premium dining experience. Journey Café, beside the lobby lounge, and Pelican Poolside Café, by the indoor pool, offer casual snacks, desserts, and beverages. At the top of the hotel, Celestial Club provides Club Room and Suite guests with panoramic views and food and beverage offerings throughout the day.
Guests can also take home hotel-exclusive merchandise inspired by the hotel’s stories, characters and recreational experiences from Wonderful Wish Boutique.
The nearby Wishing Star Park dock has been expanded to support increased Wishing Star Ferry demand from the two lakeside hotels to Shanghai Disneyland. Three recently installed crane sculptures by the dock and on Wishing Star Lake further connect the hotel experience with the surrounding landscape and the resort’s celebration of nature.
