Disney Ambassador Hotel
Urayasu-Shi, Chiba-ken, Japan, 1996
This hotel - the first Disney-branded hotel in Japan - is part of a new shopping and entertainment district at the gateway to the Tokyo Disney Resort, comprised of Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea theme parks. It is adjacent to the Maihama train station, the principal arrival point for visitors to the resort. The art moderne inspired design looks back to an architecture that represented the promise, magic, and glamour of a time when travel and movies were a romantic escape.
The Disney Ambassador Hotel contains 500 guest rooms, facilities for banquets and weddings, four restaurants, and a Hollywood-style pool court.
RAMSA Partners Robert A.M. Stern and Paul Whalen led the design.
