The Paradise Pier Hotel has been undergoing a transformation into Pixar Pier Hotel, introducing Pixar-inspired decor, reimagined guest rooms, a new Finding Nemo-themed splash pad and pool area, and new dining locations. One of the most highly anticipated additions is the Great Maple restaurant, which will be opening soon at the Pixar Place Hotel.
The flagship restaurant will be located on the first floor and offer “upscale comfort food with a twist,” featuring breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. Guests will be able to enjoy any option from the menu, whether it's breakfast or dinner, at any time of day.
It was previously announced that the Great Maple would open in November, but we now have an official opening date. A few additional locations operated by the Great Maple will also be opening in the coming weeks. Keep reading for more details on the opening date of the Great Maple at Pixar Place Hotel!
