Disney Sequoia Lodge is a 1,011-room moderate resort at Disneyland Paris, built around a main lodge and six smaller timber lodges spread across the shore of Lake Disney in Coupvray, France. Opened in April 1992 and designed by French architect Antoine Grumbach, the hotel deliberately evokes the great lodges of the American West, right down to thousands of imported pines and sequoias planted around the grounds to recall Yellowstone’s Old Faithful Inn and the lodges of Yosemite.
For families who want that National Park lodge feel without paying deluxe prices, Sequoia Lodge is the pick: it’s the most affordable onsite hotel with its own swimming pool, sits close enough to walk to the parks, and still unlocks the early-entry perk that comes with any Disneyland Paris hotel stay.

Rooms, Theming and Dining
The main lodge overlooks Lake Disney and houses most of the guest rooms along with two restaurants — one built around grilled meats — plus a hotel bar. Behind it, six smaller lodges hold the remaining rooms, with one dedicated entirely to the swimming pool and leisure facilities. Disneyland Paris has been phasing in refurbished rooms across the outdoor lodges with new themes inspired by Bambi, Brave and Pocahontas, with bookings for the updated rooms opening for stays from February 2027, while further renovation phases covering the lobby and restaurants are expected to follow.
The log-cabin architecture, stone fireplaces and forest setting give Sequoia Lodge a noticeably calmer, woodsier feel than Disneyland Paris’s more overtly Disney-themed hotels, which is part of its appeal for guests who want a break from park intensity at the end of the day.
Getting to the Parks and Perks
Sequoia Lodge is roughly a 15-minute walk from the park gates, mostly along the path through Disney Village, or a few minutes on the complimentary shuttle bus that runs about every 15 minutes. Like other onsite Disneyland Paris hotels, staying here unlocks Extra Magic Time, letting guests enter the parks before general admission on select days — a meaningful edge for tackling headline attractions before crowds build.
Who Should Stay Here
Sequoia Lodge suits families and groups who want an onsite hotel with a pool and early park entry but don’t want to pay deluxe rates for Disneyland Hotel or Newport Bay Club. It’s a strong fit for anyone who likes the rustic National Park aesthetic over princess or pirate theming, though travelers wanting a shorter walk or a more overtly Disney atmosphere may prefer a pricier resort closer to the park gates.
