Exploring Disneyland in Anaheim, California, offers a unique experience compared to its Florida counterpart. While it’s certainly possible to stay on-site, many visitors prefer to stay off-site as part of their Disneyland adventure. Staying off-site can be an excellent choice, offering more flexibility and potentially better value for money. Recently, I had the opportunity to experience a new hotel in Anaheim, known for its commitment to luxury and service—the JW Marriott Anaheim. From previous experiences at its sister properties around the world, I knew what to expect, but this property exceeded even those high expectations.

Serving as a comfortable home allows visitors to focus on being more present and fully enjoying the property and its location. With over 95 JW Marriott hotels worldwide, including one of the latest in Anaheim, the brand embodies a commitment to exceptional service and sophisticated amenities.
About the JW Marriott Anaheim
Opening in August 2020, the JW Marriott Anaheim quickly became the premier hotel in the area. Designed to enhance the body, spirit, and mind, its location can’t be beat, whether you’re there to experience Disneyland or attend a conference at the Anaheim Convention Center. Thoughtfully crafted to bring people together, the hotel offers several social spaces and amenities, including a rooftop bar with spectacular views of Disneyland. From dining options to the rooms or even the lobby areas, everything is done to perfection.
Location and My Experience
Being a huge fan of luxury hotels, what matters most to me when selecting a place to stay is location. This is especially true when it comes to visiting Disneyland—a cherished experience for me personally. As it turns out, this is one of the hotel’s chief selling points, and for me, getting to and from the parks couldn’t have been easier. The JW Marriott was also the perfect sanctuary for a few days—a place to rest, relax, and recharge. In fact, my only regret was not having more time there to fully experience everything the hotel has to offer.
Accommodations and Amenities
The accommodations at JW Marriott Anaheim are nothing short of spectacular. Each room is designed with luxury and comfort in mind, featuring plush bedding, large windows, and a calming color palette that invites relaxation. The room I stayed in offered an incredible view of Disneyland and the Anaheim cityscape. The hotel is equipped with all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end property, including a full-service spa, a large outdoor pool, and a well-equipped fitness center.
Dining Options
When it comes to dining, JW Marriott Anaheim does not disappoint. From gourmet options like their signature restaurant to more casual fare at the poolside bar, there are plenty of choices for every palate. I enjoyed a delightful breakfast buffet each morning, featuring fresh, local ingredients and a wide variety of options—from traditional American breakfast fare to international dishes. Dinner at the hotel was equally impressive, with an excellent mix of dishes that showcase local flavors and seasonal ingredients.
Conclusion
Overall, my stay at JW Marriott Anaheim was nothing short of perfection. The combination of luxury accommodations, exceptional service, and a prime location make it a top choice for anyone visiting Disneyland. Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, JW Marriott Anaheim offers the perfect blend of relaxation and adventure. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a luxury experience in Anaheim.
