Just saw this on ED92. Thought I might as well put it on. Very excited as I love the hotel but it does need a make over

Agree, 365 days a year, been open for 25years & times change. One thing I don't want is a name change! I also saw this on ED92. Wish Disney would leave things alone, especially when they trying to bring Marvel into everything!
Well there you have it just announced at D23, our cool, stylish Hotel New York is the latest classic piece of DLP to fall to the hands of Marvel/Star Wars. Space Mountain, Videopolis, rumoured Cinemagic theatre and now one of our classic Hotels. What next?
I can't abide by anyone moaning about this.
It DESPERATELY needs a refurbishment. We all want this resort to continue existing don't we? Well we need to make it popular then.
People whinge about Marvel and Star Wars overtaking everything...boo hoo. Maybe because I'm 17 years old so I'm more willing to accept change but to me Star Wars always seemed kinda Disney even before it was. The quality of stories, feel of the universe and just the overall thing just seemed like it fitted Disney like a glove.
Marvel may not be what you consider Disney but they have created a CLASSIC with it. I reckon the MCU will go on for years and years to come but assuming it stopped after this phase they have created movies that will go on for generations, young boys now are watching ironman, Avengers etc. just as people watched Toy Story, Snow White etc. all growing up themselves. Guardians of the Galaxy, The Avengers, Spider-Man Homecoming, Captain America TWS and Civil war etc. Movies that will outlive any of us.
Marvel and Star Wars ARE MASSIVELY POPULAR. The resort NEEDS guests because TWDC isn't going to stick with it forever if it doesn't make cash. Now whilst I believe the money could've been better set aside to put Marvel into the Studios TWDC has a plan in place and this is obviously one of the first phases of it, Accept that this change is coming and even if you are vehemently again Marvel in all forms its merely one hotel.

Space Mountain is permenant? I don't think it is. The new trains certainly don't seem Star Warsy. I reckon its temporary until we get funds for a proper Star Wars land or Star Wars expansion to Discoveryland. Videopolis might or might not be permenant but I mean wouldn't you rather have Star Wars shows there than nothing? I know I would.
As for Cinemagic again there is a plan for TWDC. That plan will most likely involve turning that entire half of the Studios into Marvel. I agree with this plan because it'll bring in guests, make money and I actually quite like Marvel myself and believe that the classics they've created deserve a spot in the Disney Parks. Cinemagic is quite possibly in the way of the future Marvel Land. So it has to go. So does everything else on that side of the park.
Well nothing anyone says will change Disney's plans but I'm not a fan of Marvel. Don't like the look of the concept photos so it will not be a hotel choice for me in the future
Hmm this was a bit of a surprise.
A refurb? Great. A IP based retheme? notsomuch.
I think it's VERY needed. I've stayed in the New York once and honestly it didn't leave any impression on me. It wasn't bad just...meh. Of the on resort hotels it's my second last choice just ahead of Santa Fe. This re-theme definitely makes me interested in staying there again.
Also I think it's smart business wise - having one of the top priced hotels being more traditionally 'boy focused' gives a good alternative to the very princess like Disneyland Hotel. The concept art looks really sharp and whilst I'd not want to see Marvel stuff in the main park I think having it in the hotels and Studios is key to the financial future of the whole resort.

When you've been visiting the parks for the past 20 years and you stay at HNY almost every time then I think I'm allowed to "moan" and "whinge" thank you very much. I'm allowed to have an opinion against the Marvel/Star Wars input to the Disney parks especially when my favourite attractions make way for them. I'm sure I'm not the only person who now who will pass on staying at HNY because of this and it's a shame.
The refurbishment is most welcome, the retheme to fill it with Marvel themed art is an interesting choice, but since Disney has committed to the Marvel Universe long term, it does make a kind of sense.
It is bound to turn some people away, though as it's art themed, rather than hero themed, it may not be as bad as we're thinking it will be. It will also attract others, Marvel fans and such, so the hotel will still do well.
Losing the 1920s style glamour is certainly a shame, but this is more in-line with Disney as it is today.
Especially if you consider that many of the "golden age of film and theatre" icons are going away at Disney parks across the globe (see the Tower of Terror retheme, the Great Movie Ride closure and such as examples).
Surprised by this Hotel New York Marvel retheme, but looking forward to it. The only thing worth keeping of the current HNY is the smell of the lobby. ;D
I think we can all be in agreement that the 'new' name is dreadful. Even being mindful of the language situation "Hotel New York The Art of Marvel" sounds like a rather clumsy addition to an exisiting structure.
I suppose it does allow them to revert back to HNY if they ever wanted to (doubt it).
Makes you wonder what else we could end up with....
"Humphrey Bear's Sequoia Lodge"
"Sheriff Woody's Hotel Cheyenne"
"Avast! Newport Bay Club with added Pirates"
Hotel Santa Fe.
large group of the disneyland paris community are negative . So glad that there are also many optimistic happy dreamers out there . Disneyland is for EVERY ONE ;) . Not just you and your likes and dislikes.

I could not agree more. I certainly wouldn't stay there now. What a shame. I totally agree that a refurbishment is needed but why this?
TTFN
Really excited about this. I'm a massive Disney and marvel fan so I will stay here for sure.
Disney is for everyone, not just the Princess brigade. The way I see it, with this new refurb for every room booking lost from the nostalgia crowd who dont like change, there will be 2 new room bookings from those staying onsite for the first time.
And honestly really what does a New York themed hotel have to do with Disney other than being American??? Sequoia Lodge I can make the connection as Disneyland California has The Grand Californian Hotel and Walt Disney World has The Grand Floridian Resort
I'm curious as to if they will do anything to the façade. I appriciate details are limited at the moment, but it seems to me that all it'll be is a few Iron Man suits in the lobby and a few other bits (carpet) here and there.
I personally will still stay in the hotel and give it a good chance before writing it off.
I'm not a huge fan of all the marvel films but the rest of my family are.
However it is only a theme and it's really how the hotel looks and functions after the refurb that matters.
Conversely my friend and oft Disney companion is suddenly interested in staying there again now she's heard about the Marvel refurb having not been impressed with hotel the one time we've stayed there. It's simply a matter of personal preference and I think this is a great idea since the other two top priced hotels offer a very clear alternative.
I can,t believe people are moaning about the hny refurb,it really doesn't matter what theme they have it is still a disneyl hotel with Disney cast members.
I have been going to dlp since it opened and have seen so many changes,so many shows lost,parades lost and attractions gone,but it is still disneyland and it is still magical.so moan when everything is finished and you hate it not before you have stayed in the hotel.
The newest 'news' (not seen it confirmed yet) is that it closes October 2018 and reopens in 2020. Obviously the hotel is undergoing and enormous refit and can't remain open, but it just goes to show how much spare capacity DLP still has in its hotels if it can afford to shut one for at least 15 months.
EDIT: Now it is confirmed on the DLP site. Reopening is 'within 2020'. Impossible really to give an exact date until they're well into the works.
What the new rooms will look like:

Anyone know if there has been an update to the October 2018 closure date? Looked at the DLP and magic breaks websites today and saw that the New York was coming up in results for the last week of November. Last time I looked It wasn't showing in the results for the same November dates. Looked around but couldn't find any other information about this.
I think I saw it was supposed to be end of the Christmas season now. I can't remember where I saw this though but know I can get prices for over the Christmas period.
Yes it is bookable until January 2019 and then goodbye to the original theme. I am hoping to stay in November as a goodbye. It appears the Manhattan Restaurant is closed in November any news on what is happening there? Are they just getting to work on that before the big closure?
I wish we had stayed at the NY previously, because the Marvel theme aint my thing and the art deco deal was! I said 'One day I'm gonna stay there' and never did. Doubt I will choose it in future. Regrets eh?!
Same here, love the art deco theme. My family would never book in all the years we have been going, hubby said we could go because it was changing to marvel so I said no! However, I managed to convince them due to the deal and we get to go for Halloween whilst it's still art deco I can't wait. Still not going when it's marvel though 😁

Same here. Found a really nice deal and am able to scratch it of my hotel list before it closes and changes for ever ;D
Very excited to stay here.
You are so fortunate to be able to do this!
I notice that there's special offers available for staying at the NY before it closes, 30% off or similar. Wishing I'd forseen that they might have done that. Maybe I'll bear it in mind in the event that they have offers for when DLH closes for a refurb! :P
January 6th is the closure date. Final stays the night of the 5th.
Expecting a lot of info on January 5th for the updates.
Just wondering if anyone has anymore info on how the renovation is going?
From the pictures I've seen online it's going very well!!
Booking will be possible from 5 November, for an opening in the summer 2020 (no exact date yet)
Thanks so much for the info! :)

Even though I'm not fan of Marvel, I must say that the hotel looks very good.
1000 Euros definitely way out of my reach.
