Fresh Look: Hilton Anaheim Unveils Full-Property Renovation

Hilton Anaheim held a private event on Thursday October 23, to commemorate the completion of the resort’s multi-phase, multi-million-dollar renovation. All 1,574 rooms and suites were redesigned with modern furnishings, upgraded lightning, and more. We had the opportunity to stay at the Hotel and attend the hosted private event.

“Completing this renovation, the most significant transformation in our history, is a major milestone for our hotel and our entire team,” said Sergio Bocci, general manager, Hilton Anaheim. “For over a year, we navigated construction, while keeping our commitment to serving guests, reimagining every space for the future, and honoring the legacy of what this property means to Anaheim. This transformation has allowed us to celebrate the property’s role in Anaheim over the past 40 years while creating a hotel ready to welcome guests, neighbors, and partners to gather for years to come.”

We were fortunate enough to be able to stay at the hotel and our room was fantastic. The park view room overlooks directly above the new Rooftide Terrace and pool area with Disneyland Resort overtaking the skyline. A comfortable private serene fireworks view away from the hustle and bustle of the crowded noisy walkways below.  The decor throughout the property including the hotel rooms take inspiration from the state of California, including hanging artwork of oranges. In fact, management plans to plant an orange tree on property as a symbolic connection to the city’s past with orange grooves.

The food and beverage program also went through an overhaul. Poppy’s Restaurant features new cuisine offerings in a brighter modern dining space. Just across is Hansen’s Market for grab and go snack items including fresh coffee and in-house bakery pastries. Poppy’s Lounge features more open space seating and circular bar set up for cocktails and appetizers.

Rooftide Terrace on the hotel’s fifth floor features outdoor lounge space, pool, hot tub, pool lifts for accessibility, children’s water play area, firepits, and lawn games. Guests will find Saltflower an open air poolside restaurant and bar featuring tastes of California.

The hotel’s meeting and event space was updated and the lobby was reimagined. A pair of 9,000 acre outdoor event space has also seen a face-lift transforming a flat concrete layout into a grassy terrain with exterior overhang lighting. Event planners can even rent out hotel rooms adjacent to the outdoor space adding more flexibility to cilent taste and needs. Indoor ballrooms have moving walls to convert a wide open space into four smaller sections. New chandelier and matching chairs with freedom of lighting choices for whatever an event calls upon. The rings over the redesigned lobby bar reflecting the anticipated arrival of the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

“From the lobby to our guest rooms, from rooftop pool experiences to our signature dining venues, every element has been thoughtfully designed to deliver a world-class experience,” Bocci added. “We’re proud to reaffirm Hilton Anaheim as a leading destination for travelers seeking both comfort and connection in the heart of Orange County.”

This is the property’s first full-scale renovation since its opening in 1984. This has been long overdue and a very welcome change. It’s practically a whole new premiere hotel experience for the Anaheim Resort area. Only steps away from major destinations such as the Disneyland Resort and the Anaheim Convention Center. An upscale California Adventure will imprint a lasting impression that can begin and end with Hilton Anaheim.
