Shanghai Disney Resort has a name for its third hotel. During its 10th anniversary celebration on June 16, 2026, the resort revealed the Disney Enchanted Star Hotel and shared a fresh rendering of the building. The theme draws from the fabled Wishing Star, the symbol that already runs through Shanghai Disneyland’s storytelling and its central lake.
The resort also confirmed key details. Its announcement describes a 400-room deluxe hotel with Art Nouveau-inspired design, set to open in winter 2027. So this is more than a name drop. It’s a naming, design, and timeline reveal.
What is the Disney Enchanted Star Hotel?
It’s the third themed hotel at Shanghai Disney Resort, joining the 420-room Shanghai Disneyland Hotel and the 795-room Toy Story Hotel. Both opened with the resort in 2016. At 400 rooms, the Enchanted Star Hotel becomes the smallest of the three, positioned as a deluxe property on the shores of Wishing Star Lake with views of Shanghai Disneyland.
The design leans into Shanghai’s early 20th-century architectural legacy, with Art Nouveau influences and the Wishing Star running through the property as a guiding theme. Tying the hotel to that idea keeps it inside the resort’s existing story rather than borrowing a single film franchise the way Toy Story Hotel does. Travelers comparing Disney’s global parks can weigh Shanghai against the newest U.S. park additions, where openings are concrete and dated.
When does the Disney Enchanted Star Hotel open?
The resort is targeting a winter 2027 opening. Construction broke ground on August 31, 2023, and the building has since taken shape along Wishing Star Lake. The resort says the hotel will add new indoor and outdoor recreation, plus fresh dining, shopping, and entertainment options for guests planning multi-day visits.
A new hotel adds rooms to a resort that has run high demand since opening. More on-site rooms usually means easier multi-day trips, the same draw that makes on-site hotels at other Disney resorts popular with planners.
Should you plan a trip around it?
Not yet. Winter 2027 is still well out, and nightly rates and booking windows have not been shared. If a Shanghai trip is already on your radar, the existing two hotels remain the on-site options, and the Enchanted Star Hotel is worth watching as the resort shares its complete facade and booking details closer to opening.
What to know: If a Shanghai Disney trip is on your radar for 2027 or beyond, keep the Enchanted Star Hotel on your watch list and book early once reservations open, since the resort runs high occupancy and this deluxe property adds only 400 rooms. Watch for the resort to share the full facade, room types, and nightly rates closer to the winter 2027 opening before locking in any plans.
