Top European theme park that mums say is better than Disneyland shows off new Wes Anderson-style hotel
A TOP European theme park is welcoming a new premium hotel that looks like it’s out of Wes Anderson’s world.
Dutch theme park Efteling will be opening a new hotel this summer called the Efteling Grand Hotel.
The theme park is already well known for its fairytale theme, with one TikToker – The Travel Mum – dubbing it “better and cheaper than Disneyland”.
The new addition to the attraction will be the first hotel located within the theme park itself and will open on August 1.
The hotel will be themed around a traditional grand dame hotel with stories woven into the design throughout, appearing like a Wes Anderson story.
There will be digital check-in, valet parking and luggage handling, upon arrival.
A bellhop and Efteling’s two princesses will guests in the lobby, where the air will also be infused with the hotel’s signature fragrance.
The hotel will be spread across seven floors offering 140 rooms and suites, with a total of 644 beds.
The biggest room will be able to host six people.
The hotel rooms will also overlook the park with different views of the Aquanura water show the House of the Dive Senses entrance, the Fairytale Forest or the Pardoes Promenade Lane.
All of the rooms include breakfast at Brasserie 7 and half an hour of early access to the park before it opens to the public.
Other features of the rooms include each one having an Efteling Grand Hotel fairytale book.
The lower ground floor of the hotel will have a swimming pool – availabel only to hotel guests – with spa facilities including a steam room, sauna and massage room.
There will also be a multifunctional serenity room where guests can unwind, pray or meditate.
The hotel will have two restaurants with Brasserie 7 located on the ground floor and Restaurant-Bar Mystique on the first floor.
While Brasserie 7 will serve up a range of classic dishes – which include seven ‘magical’ ingredients such as princess tears and snow from Mother Holle – Restaurant-Bar Mystique will offer a more premium dining experience.
Each table will be decorated with edible decorations and the restaurant will be open to the public, as well as park and hotel guests.
Café Biscuit will also be a part of the hotel, where baristas will serve coffee and the signature Grand Hotel biscuit.
Plans have also been revealed for incredible new 240-room hotel with huge swimming lake, golf and spa near to iconic racetrack.
Plus, a huge new Premier Inn will open near major airport and will be the largest of its kind in the north of UK.
