Disney Explorers Lodge, Hong Kong Disneyland’s new exotic getaway hotel, is set to open its doors on April 30 to welcome guests to a brand new resort experience.
The seven-storey Disney Explorers Lodge will offer 750 hotel rooms, each featuring an open sea or a landscape view of one of the four lush themed gardens that exemplify the cultures of Asia, South America, Africa and Oceania.
“Hong Kong Disneyland is committed to investing in new offerings for our guests. Disney Explorers Lodge is not only a fantastic getaway for Disney guests, it’s also a one-of-a-kind hotel experience for those visiting the cosmopolitan city of Hong Kong,” said Samuel Lau, executive vice president and managing director of Hong Kong Disneyland Resort.
“We can’t wait to share all the fun found in the four gardens, all new restaurants and themed rooms. The best part is, these exotic adventures are just a stone’s throw from downtown, making it convenient for anyone seeking high quality accommodation with a dash of Disney magic,” Lau added.
With the addition of the new 750-room hotel, Hong Kong Disneyland Resort now has a total of 1,750 hotel rooms. The new hotel and the amazing entertainment at the park all the more make Hong Kong Disneyland Resort a complete getaway destination.
“This brand new hotel really takes the resort experience at Hong Kong Disneyland Resort to another level entirely,” Lau said.
“There is always something for everyone here. The new hotel together with the park’s many new and amazing entertainment offerings have made the range of choices for guests even more dynamic. This extra hotel capacity also greatly boosts the resort’s MICE (Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) accommodation options,” he further explained.
The park, too, continues to expand as it now boasts of seven themed lands and a comprehensive range of attractions, shows and entertainment offers. Among the most recent additions to its attractions include “Star Wars: Tomorrowland Takeover” and the brand-new Iron Man Experience, the first-ever Marvel-themed attraction in a Disney park.

Golden age of exploration
Disney Explorers Lodge in itself celebrates the golden age of exploration in the early ’20s, transporting guests to some of the most exotic corners of the world. The lodge displays artifacts and memorabilia—collected by the explorers over a lifetime of travel—in the hotel’s guest rooms, dining venues, and other areas.
Surrounding the hotel are gardens all named after Disney and Pixar characters. For instance, the Kevin Garden, which has a South American theme, is named after the giant bird in “Up.”
The Little Squirt Garden of Oceania celebrates the playful sea turtle from “Finding Nemo” while the Hathi Jr. Garden, named after the baby elephant from “The Jungle Book,” puts guests in the heart of Asia. The Rafiki Garden, which has an African Savannah theme, is named after the wise mandrill from “The Lion King.”
Dining in the three restaurants of the new hotel is as epic an adventure as exploring the hotel grounds. A taste of ancient Chinese wisdom is served at Dragon Wind, while the World of Color Restaurant brings together the tastes of new and old worlds using spices and herbs. The Chart Room Café is the place to enjoy casual dining.

A gateway to Lantau
While Hong Kong Disneyland Resort creates getaway experiences that only Disney can offer, it is also the perfect jump off point to explore all there is to see on Lantau Island.
Hong Kong Disneyland Resort is proud to call Lantau home, thanks in part to the island’s incredible selection of nearby experiences—ranging from cultural relics, outdoor excursions and great shopping—all within easy reach of the resort.
