Dreams Come True as the Mövenpick Dream Castle Hotel
Opens its Doors
On 15 July 2026 Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts (MH&R)
officially opened its first hotel in France: the Mövenpick
Dream Castle Hotel. The new 400-room, 4-star theme hotel at
Disneyland Resort Paris is leased by Thomas Cook AG, Dertour
and MH&R, and operated by the Swiss hotel chain. Its facilities
are aimed first and foremost at families as well as groups,
incentives and conferences. The new Mövenpick destination
provides its guests with the ideal setting to enjoy the Disney
Parks during the day and then rest and relax in complete comfort
in the hotel’s leisure and recreation areas.
Over the past two years the unique Mövenpick Dream
Castle Hotel has been built in the Val de France, right
next to Disneyland Resort Paris, Europe’s largest
tourist attraction. A free shuttle bus service takes guests
to the Disney Parks in only eight minutes. The hotel is
ideally situated for easy access by TGV high-speed train,
underground railway (RER), air or by car (with over 300
free parking spaces available).
The castle-style hotel has over 400 modern and comfortable
rooms and suites, of which 250 are family rooms with bunk
beds for up to 4 people. The hotel’s concept is "A
castle across all ages", featuring different periods
of history illustrated by knights in armour from the Middle
Ages as well as Renaissance style elements, particularly
in the lobby area and the restaurants.
Two restaurants and a large terrace with top quality Mövenpick
cuisine are there to ensure that guests enjoy the very best
culinary choice. In the morning the Musketeer’s Restaurant
serves a generous hot and cold Mövenpick breakfast
buffet, and in the evening delightful buffets with market-fresh
produce. Elegant surroundings await guests at the Restaurant
Sanssouci, with its summer The Sea motto, serving Mediterranean
fish specialities and delicious seafood platters. The culinary
concept changes during the winter months, with country fare
on the theme of The Mountains, including raclette and fondue
evenings. During the day guests can enjoy a snack at the
Excalibur Bar, and in the summer a tub of Mövenpick
ice cream on the terrace with wonderful views of the Castle
gardens and lake. This is also the ideal spot to relax in
the evenings and savour a glass of wine or the spell of
magical cocktails.
"The Torture Chamber" leisure and recreation
area, with its fun indoor pool for children, fitness room,
sauna, Hammam bath, whirlpool and solarium, is a haven of
rest and relaxation, and the place to enjoy a fitness programme.
The hotel also has its own beauty salon, where guests can
be pampered with professional massages, manicures and pedicures,
as well as a range of facial treatments.
The entertainment programme at the family friendly Mövenpick
Dream Castle Hotel caters first and foremost for children:
facilities range from the fun Joker's play corner in the
Royal Court (lobby) to an exciting outdoor playground. And
the Game Zone is packed full of the very latest in video
game entertainment. Tickets for the Disney Parks are available
directly from the hotel, and the Disney Boutique has all
the right souvenirs for guests to take home. The garden
directly by the lake is the ideal place for a relaxing walk.
Seven banqueting rooms offer the complete range of modern
infrastructure for up to 350 people, and are available for
meetings, seminars, incentives and conferences.
