A stay at Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is likely a travel bucket list item for anyone who’s a fan of theme parks and Marvel superheroes.
Along with the unique experiences at the Disneyland Paris Marvel Campus, this heavily themed resort hotel will elevate a magical Disney trip into a super Marvel one.
Besides the comic-book charisma and easter eggs throughout Hotel New York, the resort is in its own right a high calibre theme park hotel that combines comfort, luxury, and close proximity to the Disneyland Paris theme parks.
Here, we take a look at some of the main reasons guests choose to stay at Hotel New York - Art of Marvel, and also consider some of the drawbacks that other guests encounter when staying here.
What guests love about Hotel New York
Every comic book fan will be blown away by the level of theming at this hotel.
Unique detailing, art and memorabilia is everywhere you look - from the giant murals adorned on each floor, to the life-sized Iron Man suits in the lobby or the pictures and sketched artwork in every hotel bedroom.
Iconic comic book art is everywhere at Hotel New York - Art of Marvel
Marvel theming is incorporated seamlessly throughout the hotel. More than 350 pieces of original Marvel artwork are placed in the New York-inspired Art Deco design.
It’s an immersive experience that Marvel fans love.
Another thing that guests love about Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel is the location.
It is the second closest hotel to the theme parks - only the Disneyland Hotel, at the park gates - is closer.
The hotel is only a short walk through the Disneyland Paris village, and a quick security check-point, away from the parks.
Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel is also packed with amenities including two high quality on-site restaurants, a pool and a gym.
But, Marvel fans will be more interested in the Marvel Design Studio, which gives a workshop on how to draw your favourite superheroes, as well as the Super Hero Station where guests can enjoy unique character meet-n-greets, as well as larger-than-life photo ops.
This perk is free and exclusive to hotel guests, though it is recommended that guests book their time slot at the Super Hero Station as soon as they check in because it is an extremely popular attraction.
Best of all, this experience typically doesn’t have the same big queues that you’ll find at the character interactions out in the Marvel Campus.
Drawbacks
Hotel New York - The Art of Marvel is a four-star Disney property, so perhaps it goes without saying, it is on the pricier side.
The room rates are generally high, though guests with flexibility (able to book outside the school holidays) may find cheaper prices off-peak.
If you do have to book during peak times such as the UK and European school holidays, you will probably find the room rate high - and it will need considering whether the hotel will be worth the premium price.
There are other very good Disneyland Paris hotels that are cheaper alternatives, especially if you or your family are not massive Marvel fans.
Who is Hotel New York for?
This hotel is perfect for families, Marvel fans, and couples who want an immersive, themed experience with upscale amenities.
It’s designed to appeal to Disney fans of all ages, but Marvel lovers will especially appreciate the level of detail and character-driven decor throughout.
For families, it’s a dream come true - kids have their pick of activities, from the Marvel Design Studio to the themed game rooms and pools.
Our thoughts …
Hotel New York – The Art of Marvel is a standout Disney theme park hotel - it's up there among the best Disney resorts anywhere in the world.
It really does help its guests bring their Marvel stories to life (especially the little ones with big imaginations).
That said, there are certainly other cheaper hotel choices at Disneyland Paris that will suit some people better. Not everyone will appreciate the level of Marvel/Superhero theming in this hotel to justify the high cost of a stay here.
However, the hotel’s location, immensely detailed decor, and family-friendly vibe mean it is a fan-tastic choice for Marvel lovers or those looking for a comfortable, luxurious theme park stay.
