Welcome to sunny Southern California, home to golden surf, glistening sands and iconic sunsets. Nestled in the city of Garden Grove, a dazzling new Kimpton hotel, slated to open in 2021, will sit on five acres and entertain families, leisure and business travelers alike. With 200 guestrooms, we’re also unveiling 10,000 square-feet of meeting space, two signature restaurants and a glistening rooftop pool equipped with a lounge and bar. And with Disneyland only a few blocks away, watch the iconic fireworks show from the comfort of several suites or from the open-air rooftop.
Disneyland Is In Our Backyard
There’s something special in the Anaheim air. No wonder, Walt Disney settled on this once-sleepy farming community for Disneyland. With its flare for nostalgia and classic rides like Alice in Wonderland and Indiana Jones Adventure, there are also live shows and of course, endless fun for the whole family along Main Street, U.S.A..
