Partner hotel Ideal location
Hôtel Élysée Val d’Europe
Holding the "Disney partner hotel" label, the Hôtel Élysée Val d'Europe is a 4-star hotel with a chic, relaxed style. An ideal base for anyone staying at Disneyland Paris, as it's very well located in the heart of Val d'Europe and less than 10 minutes from the parks by free shuttle bus. A hotel close to Disney that I was lucky enough to try out in 2021: here's my review, along with plenty of useful information for your upcoming trip.

4 reasons to stay at the Hôtel Élysée Val d’Europe
- For its prime location in Val d’Europe: the hotel is just a few hundred metres from the Val d’Europe shopping centre, the largest mall in Europe, and plenty of other activities
- For its quality: the setting of the Élysée Val d’Europe and the comfort of its rooms are hard to match among the hotels close to Disneyland Paris
- For its free shuttle bus to Disneyland: if you’d rather not take the train (also very close by), you can get to the Disney parks on the free bus, which runs from 8:30am until almost midnight
- Excellent reviews: few hotels around Marne-la-Vallée are as highly rated as the Élysée Val d’Europe.
How much does a stay at this Serris boutique hotel cost?
A highly rated 4-star hotel doesn’t necessarily mean an overpriced one. The rates at this cosy boutique hotel in Serris are competitive and, on paper, offer very attractive value for money. A good compromise if you want quality accommodation without spending your whole budget on it.
A few examples of Élysée Val d’Europe prices
The following prices are for a stay including accommodation and 2-day, 2-park Disneyland Paris tickets.
| Period | Couple | Family with 1 child | Visit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Christmas, Wednesday 16 to Thursday 17 December 2026 in a standard room | £562 | £723 | Check |
| Week of Wednesday 20 to Thursday 21 January 2027 | £450 | £586 | Check |
Fairly affordable prices overall, especially given the quality of the accommodation at the Élysée. However, we found that the hotel could be more expensive than some equivalent Disney hotels.
Here is a price comparison for the same dates with the 3 cheapest Disney hotels: the Cheyenne, the Santa Fe and the Sequoia Lodge.
| Hotels | Prices 16/17 Dec 2026 |
|---|---|
| Élysée Val d’Europe | £562 |
| Disney Hotel Santa Fe | £517 |
| Disney Hotel Cheyenne | £526 |
| Disney Sequoia Lodge | £836 |

The “Disney partner hotel” label
This 4-star hotel in Val d’Europe holds the “Disney partner hotel” label. This label allows the hotel to sell accommodation + park tickets packages. Above all, though, it gives you some benefits close to those of the Disney hotels:
- The free shuttle bus service

- Cancellation of your stay up to 7 days before arrival
Location: a hotel in the heart of Val d’Europe
Although it isn’t right next to the Disneyland and Disney Adventure World (formerly Walt Disney Studios) parks, the Hôtel Élysée still enjoys a great location. This partner hotel is, admittedly, a little further from the parks as the crow flies than the Val de France hotels (B&B Hotel Disneyland, Dream Castle Hotel).
That said, the distance isn’t that great: 3.7km from Marne-la-Vallée–Chessy station compared with 2.7km for the B&B Hotel Disneyland. But if you look at the time it takes to get there by bus or car, the Élysée is much better placed (just 4 minutes on the RER A). And when you know how packed the free Val de France shuttle bus can get, staying in Val d’Europe can be a smart move.
But the real strength of this hotel is its central position in Val d’Europe, the new town created by Disney. It’s just a 4-minute walk to the Val d’Europe shopping centre and its 142 shops. It takes no longer to walk to the RER station and catch the train towards Disney or Paris.
The shuttle bus from Val d’Europe to Disney
Unlike the shuttle bus serving the Val de France hotels, the free shuttle bus from the Hôtel Élysée to Disneyland Paris is a private service, exclusive to this hotel.
The second thing to know is that return times from the parks are different in low and high season. In high season, you can come back later, with a last shuttle bus leaving shortly before 1am.
The first departure at 8:30am gets you there 10 minutes after the early opening of the Disneyland and Disney Adventure World parks for Extra Magic Time (which isn’t available to partner hotel guests, though).
In the morning, until shortly before midday, the free shuttle bus takes you to the parks roughly every 20 minutes. In the afternoon, departures are an hour apart until 9:30pm.
How do you get to the hotel from Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports?
Many of you ask this question on forums or in the Reddit thread /r/disneylandparis/. Here’s my advice for stress-free transport:
From Charles de Gaulle airport
A direct train links the airport to Disneyland Paris! You can book your TGV Inoui or Ouigo in advance on sncf-connect.com. The journey takes just 12 minutes on average and costs around £26 (30 €) if you book far enough ahead. Once you arrive at Chessy TGV station (right next to Disney Village), simply walk out of the station to catch the free shuttle bus to the hotel.
But you can also take the Magical Shuttle, the paid coach service to the parks. It’s a little cheaper and more convenient than the train. And the bonus is that the coach drops you right outside the hotel!
From Orly airport
The Magical Shuttle is also a very good option from Orly. By train, bear in mind that Orly is much further away than CDG. So, if you can, choose to fly into CDG rather than Orly.
Otherwise, you’ll need to take the Orly shuttle, which takes you directly to Chessy station, but the journey takes 1h30 on average. It’s still practical, but long. To save time, I strongly recommend buying your Orly shuttle tickets online in advance.
Rooms at the Élysée Val d’Europe
During our Disneyland Paris holiday in 2021, we were won over by the comfort and facilities of this hotel’s rooms. Space, cleanliness and style are among the main strengths of this Disney partner hotel in Val d’Europe.
With 152 rooms and suites, the Hôtel Élysée isn’t one of the largest hotels in Marne-la-Vallée and Val d’Europe. But its rooms have the advantage of being very spacious and can even sleep up to 8 people in interconnecting twin rooms.
Classic double rooms – 24m² – 1 to 2 people
This is the entry-level option for couples who want a little Disney weekend on a budget! Couples and families with a young child get a queen-size bed, a large flat-screen TV with Canal+ included (we’d have preferred Disney+, to be honest) and a Nespresso coffee machine with a few capsules.
Here are some of the room’s facilities:
- Bathroom with shower and bath
- Large LCD TVs with satellite channels
- Alarm clock (handy for being there when the parks open)
- Safe
- Free Wi-Fi
- Air-conditioned room
- Cot on request
Available from £91 (105 €) a night, it offers the best comfort / quality / price ratio in Val d’Europe!
Premium double rooms – 24m² – 1 to 2 people
These rooms are the same size as the previous ones but include a number of extra facilities and services. Here’s the full list:
- Bathrobes and slippers
- Nespresso© coffee machine with a selection of capsules
- Welcome tray with bottles of still and sparkling water (a nice touch!)
- Fridge (ideal in summer for chilling the water bottles you’ve bought at the supermarket to take to the park)
- 10% discount voucher for the hotel restaurant Le George, on the à la carte menu
- Laptop safe
- Magnifying mirror
- Blackout curtains
Premium triple rooms – 24m² – 1 to 3 people
The same facilities and services as the Premium double room, but with a sofa bed (90 x 200 cm) in addition to the queen-size bed. Note that it can sleep either:
- 1 adult and 2 children (aged 3 to 11)
- 2 adults and 1 child (aged 3 to 11)
Classic and Premium quadruple rooms – 24m² – 1 to 4 people
Contrary to what you might think, the quadruple room is no bigger than the other rooms. Its main feature is 2 queen-size beds, giving 4 roomy sleeping places.
Junior Suites – 38m² – 1 to 4 people
This is the most comfortable and spacious room at the Hôtel Élysée! Available from £174 (200 €) a night, it lets you sleep in a king-size bed. The lounge area (visible in the left-hand picture below) has a 2-seater sofa bed.
Who is the Junior Suite for?
- Couples on a romantic weekend on a small budget (note that the hotel offers a romance package and a bottle of champagne in the room on request)
- Families with two children, especially those with two young children
If one of the 4 suites appeals to you, be aware that you’ll need to book a few months ahead, as this kind of unbeatable-value room is in high demand!
Eating in and around the Hôtel Élysée Val d’Europe
This Disney partner hotel offers some of the best dining of all the partner hotels in Marne-la-Vallée.
Breakfast at Le George
English or French breakfast: a well-stocked buffet is served every day in one of the hotel’s two restaurants, Le George. Here’s some useful information about breakfast at the Hôtel Élysée:
- Times: 6:30am to 10am on weekdays – 7am to 11am at weekends and on bank holidays
- Price: either included for a supplement when you book, or charged at £14 (16 €) per adult and £8.25 (€9.50) per child
Lunch, dinner and brunch at Le George
Le George is a steakhouse-style restaurant with a varied menu of meat, fish and dishes inspired by world cuisine. The dining room at Le George has a cosy atmosphere for all the families and couples visiting Mickey who fancy a foodie stop in Serris.
A real bonus for hotel guests who don’t want to go out for dinner, especially in winter or when it’s raining. Well rated on Tripadvisor (4/5), Le George is much appreciated for the quality of its service and its food.
A few things to know about the George restaurant:
- Kids’ menu at £9 (10 €): a great idea to offer a children’s menu with every dish on the menu in a mini size!
- 2-course set menu at £21 (24 €) and 3 courses at £28 (32 €)
- Dinner served every day from 7pm to 11pm (booking a table in advance is highly recommended)
- Lunch every day except Saturday from 12pm to 2pm
Tapas and drinks at Le Diplomate, the hotel bar
Voted the No. 1 restaurant in Serris by Tripadvisor users in 2024 (Travellers’ Choice 2023), Le Diplomate is the place to be for a cocktail with friends, some tapas and drinks with the family or simply a coffee.
Le Diplomate is a warm, welcoming spot for a quick meal and a good beer, all while sitting comfortably on a sofa! Here are some of the dishes on the restaurant’s menu:
- Vegetarian tartine (£9 (10 €))
- Brie de Meaux and ham toastie (£13 (15 €))
- Curry chicken toastie (£13 (15 €))
- Charcuterie board (£14 (16 €))
- Cheese board (£14 (16 €))
What is there to do in and around the hotel?
Even though the Hôtel Élysée is perfectly suited to families, it isn’t really a “family” hotel. Let me explain. The hotel offers no leisure activities or play area, unlike the Explorers Hotel with its water park or the Grand Magic Hotel with its games arcade.
So there are no activities at all within the hotel. A few events may be put on for adults at Le Diplomate bar, but that’s it.
On the other hand, its location in the heart of Val d’Europe puts it close to several of the best things to do around Disneyland Paris, such as:
- SEA LIFE Aquarium (10-minute walk)
- ImagiPark, an XXL leisure centre opened in 2025 (6-minute walk)
- La Vallée Village outlet for some shopping (16-minute walk)
Our review of the Hôtel Élysée in brief
Location: 3.5 / 5
Although it’s a little out of the way compared with the Disneyland resort (parks + Disney Village), this hotel is no further from the parks than the Val de France hotels. But its real strength is its central position in Val d’Europe, genuinely close to the shopping centre and the RER station.
Rooms: 5 / 5
In my view, the hotel offers one of the best levels of comfort in the whole of Marne-la-Vallée in this price range. The rooms aren’t themed, admittedly, but they’re clean, well equipped and spacious.
Dining: 5 / 5
Whether it’s breakfast or a meal in one of the two restaurants, you’ll get your money’s worth! I find the prices really attractive and the menus tempting. One of the hotel’s big strengths, especially for guests who don’t want to go out.
Activities: 2.5 / 5
If on-site activities and entertainment matter to you, look elsewhere. The Élysée Val d’Europe is one of the weaker performers in this category. However, the hotel is close to several of the best things to do in Marne-la-Vallée.
Our verdict: 16/20
It’s quite simple: we’d be delighted to go back to this hotel, whether as a couple or with the children. The Élysée Val d’Europe is the ideal compromise between quality accommodation and not spending too much.
