Hotels Near Disneyland
Where to stay for the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim — from on-property magic to walkable Good Neighbor value, with an easy transfer from SNA.
A trip to the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim runs smoother when your hotel is close to the parks. Staying nearby means shorter mornings, easy midday breaks back at the room, and the option to walk to the Disneyland and Disney California Adventure gates rather than navigating parking each day.
When choosing a hotel near Disneyland, decide first whether you want the on-property experience — themed rooms, early park entry perks, and a short walk to the esplanade — or the value and variety of nearby 'Good Neighbor' hotels along Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue. Also weigh proximity to the Anaheim Convention Center if your trip mixes a conference with park days.
John Wayne Airport (SNA) in Santa Ana is the closest major airport, about 14 miles south of the resort — typically a 25-minute drive. That makes SNA the most convenient gateway for a Disneyland trip, and a quick pre-arranged transfer gets your family from the terminal to the hotel without the hassle of car rental lines.
