Hilton Anaheim Completes Its Renovation

The Hilton Anaheim, which is the largest hotel property in Orange County, is located right next to the Anaheim Convention Center, at just over a 15-minute walk from Disneyland. The hotel just had its Grand Unveiling on October 23rd this past week, featuring a ribbon-cutting ceremony with local officials, guided property tours for dignitaries and VIPs, and an evening celebration for guests and attendees.

“From the lobby to our guest rooms, from rooftop pool experiences to our signature dining venues, every element has been thoughtfully designed to deliver a world-class experience,” said Sergio Bocci, general manager at Hilton Anaheim. “We’re proud to reaffirm Hilton Anaheim as a leading destination for travelers seeking both comfort and connection in the heart of Orange County.”

Here is an overview of everything that has changed as part of the Hilton Anaheim’s extensive renovation!

All 1,574 guest rooms and suites at the hotel were redesigned with “modern furnishings, spacious layouts, soothing earth tones, and vibrant accent blues inspired by California landscapes.” Features of the newly redone rooms include “upgraded lighting, plush bedding, warm wood accents, and updated carpeting, creating a refined yet welcoming environment.”

Here is a look at the renovated bathroom in a standard guest room.

The hotel’s 105,959 sq. ft. of meeting and event space was completely updated, introducing new furnishings and touches, including “modern desks and chairs, horizon-inspired wallcoverings, leather-like vinyl finishes, deeper wood tones, and enhanced lighting.”

The ballrooms and conference rooms can be used for conferences, weddings, and social events, and they feature expanded audiovisual and technology capabilities.

The reimagined lobby now features a nature-inspired look, with open seating, motifs inspired by trees, nature-inspired textures, and a custom LED lighting system “evoking a California sky.”

The dining scene at the hotel underwent a complete overhaul under Executive Chef Prabeen Prathapan. The lobby bar, now called Poppy’s Lounge, offers handcrafted cocktails, shareable bites, plush seating, and a chandelier custom-made in Los Angeles.

Poppy’s Restaurant is the hotel’s signature all-day dining, featuring seasonal, locally sourced dishes, as well as a selection of craft cocktails and regional wines.

Here is a look at the interior of Poppy’s Restaurant.

Dishes at Poppy’s range from California avocado toast and breakfast grain bowls to artisan steaks and desserts. Here is a look at some of the lunch items offered at this location.

Hansen’s Market is the hotel’s grab-and-go marketplace featuring a selection of offerings, including fresh sandwiches, organic fruit, local coffee, California wines, and curated snacks.

The in-house 3,000 sq. ft. Starbucks is also newly renovated, featuring “a bright, modern design with warm wood tones, abundant natural light, and inviting seating.”

The Hilton Anaheim has renovated its outdoor and recreational spaces, with the newly branded Anaheim Rooftide Terrace on the fifth floor offering a 1,200 sq. ft. pool, hot tubs, a kids’ splash area, fire pits, lawn games, and lounge zones.

“Completing this renovation, the most significant transformation in our history, is a major milestone for our hotel and for our entire team, who lived through every step of it,” shared Bocci. “For over a year, we navigated construction, while keeping our commitment to serving guests, reimagining every space for the future, and honoring the legacy of what this property means to Anaheim. Now, standing on the other side of the process, I feel an enormous sense of pride. This transformation has allowed us to celebrate the property’s role in Anaheim over the past 40 years while creating a hotel ready for the decades ahead. With its new look, Hilton Anaheim is a place where meaningful moments will continue to unfold, and where guests, neighbors, and partners can gather for years to come.”

This was the hotel that Mickey Visit founder Gavin Doyle stayed in growing up. He has fond memories of enjoying all the great amenities here, from the pool to the fantastic lobby breakfast. He is pleased that the hotel received this complete renovation to keep it as a top favorite option in Anaheim, California for a Disneyland vacation.

We recommend the Hilton Anaheim as a great hotel near Disneyland that is perfect for families and business travelers. The hotel is unquestionably the best option for those attending both a conference at the Anaheim Convention Center and visiting Disneyland. We have stayed here multiple times for D23 – The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. We look forward to getting back here again soon to see the property.
