Disney area hotel boom reshapes GardenWalk district
A multi project drive adds 15 hotels and a water park to the Anaheim area. Marriott Springhill Suites and Residence Inn expand while Courtyard and Holiday Inn Express pursue approvals. GardenWalk hosts a 466 room convention hotel and a Great Wolf Lodge near a car rental hub, all amid demolitions and land prep.

Anaheim land still idle as hotel projects stall
The 1050 W Ball Road site once housing Cuban Pete's Caribbean Grill and nightclub remains vacant after a 2007 landlord decision to convert the lot into a hotel that never materialized. Harbor Blvd site and Village Inn property also show long vacancy with no new hotel plans filed. Atlas Hospitality Group and Prospera Hotels executives say demand supports new hotel openings, despite rising room rates and abundant inventory.
