Dedicated to the spirit of exploration, it will invite guests to leave the everyday world behind and enter into a new world full of discovery, nature and exotic cultures. The hotel features four distinct gardens based on cultures from around the globe, along with new themed restaurants, a shop and a large outdoor swimming pool.[2]
The story hearkens to that grand era of exploration in the early 1920s, telling of four explorers who cooperatively built a lodge based on their adventures throughout the globe, adding their own artifacts and specimens gathered over a lifetime of travels.
The concept of exploration is meticulously brought to life throughout the hotel’s guest rooms, themed gardens, three restaurants and shop, which are inspired by the explorers’ travels to four regions: African Garden, South American Garden, Polynesian Garden paradise and Asian Garden. Disney elements to be represented at the hotel include characters from The Jungle Book, The Lion King, Finding Nemo and Up.
