Disney's Grand Californian is the Disneyland Resort's flagship — a soaring Arts and Crafts lodge of timber, stained glass, and craftsman lanterns built right into Disney California Adventure, with its own private gate into the park. Redwood beams frame a great-hall lobby where a stone hearth crackles each evening, and Napa Rose anchors one of Disney's finest signature dining rooms. Deluxe rooms, Disney Vacation Club villas, and a full spa make it the most upscale stay on the West Coast.
