History


The hotel originally started out as the Emerald Hotel in 1984 and was later known as the Pan Pacific Hotel. Disney purchased it in December of 1995 and changed its name to the Disneyland Pacific Hotel. In December of 2000, the hotel was remodeled and reopened as Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel. This was done to match one of the themed lands in Disney's California Adventure Park.


13th floor
The hotel is unique in the Western Hemisphere for being one of the few buildings to actually have a 13th floor as opposed to the more common practice of skipping 13 and going straight from 12 to 14. This is a result of the original owners being Japanese and in accordance with eastern culture, did not consider the number bad luck. Disney has not since changed this.
