Boutique Hotels in Anaheim, CA

If there was ever a city designed for fun, Anaheim is it! Perhaps Anaheim’s biggest claim to fame is that it’s the birthplace of the original Disneyland, but the city has a lot more to offer beyond its theme park roots.

The original Disneyland was built in 1955 by Walt Disney himself on a 160-acre plot of land near Anaheim Hills in Orange County. It opened on July 17th that year to 165,000 visitors (who paid only $1 for admission) for a day-long celebration that included live television coverage of President Eisenhower's visit and an appearance by Roy Rogers & Dale Evans. The opening ceremonies were broadcast on ABC’s “Wide World of Sports”, making this the first time a network covered such events live from inside a theme park.

Aside from Disney, you can head to its sister park, Disney California Adventure Park which totes more outdoor activities like surfing lessons and mountain biking trails that give guests an up-close look at California's stunning landscape without leaving Disneyland property.

If you want some fun that doesn’t include Disney, the top Anaheim boutique hotels are within a short distance of Van's Skatepark, the Anaheim Packing House and the Angels stadium. An indoor skateboarding facility, Van’s Skatepark is located in the Anaheim Packing House and Center Street Promenade, home to an impressive fleet of shops and restaurants. Novice and veteran skaters alike can test their skills on half pipes and other obstacles. Located nearby is the Anaheim Angels Stadium. Deemed the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball, the stadium has been home to many baseball greats, including Nolan Ryan and Reggie Jackson. It is also famous for its "Big A" scoreboard, which was installed in 1996 and is still one of the largest in all of baseball.

If you want to exercise your thinking cap, be sure to check out the Muzeo Anaheim. The museum features over 20 galleries filled with exhibits on different themes such as art, science, history, and more. There are also several temporary exhibits that rotate throughout the year so there's always something new to see! You can also see some of your favorite classic cartoons in the Animation Gallery, which includes art from Disney films like "Bambi" and “Fantasia".

The museum has great educational programs for kids such as "Become an Artist" where kids can learn how to draw their favorite characters using various mediums such as pencil or oil paint! There are also lots of fun activities like making paper airplanes or building models out of LEGOs. There’s also an IMAX theater where you can watch movies that take place underwater or even explore outer space through virtual reality headsets.

Anaheim Hills is a great place to hike if you want a respite from the crowds of the city’s many attractions. With trails that are easy enough for beginners and still offer great views of the surrounding area, the park is located on the crest of the Santa Ana Mountains and features a variety of trails, including one that's only 0.8 miles long and another that's 2.6 miles long. There's also a short loop trail that will take you around the entire park if you're looking for something more intense. Book your stay at any one of boutique hotels in Anaheim for fun, family and more.
