Disney's Hotel New York is a hotel situated in Disneyland Resort Paris designed by postmodern architect Michael Graves. Citing early 20th century Art Deco it was designed to echo the essence and feel of New York City. The exterior of the hotel itself is a stylised skyscraper-filled skyline. There are numerous references to the city's state of affairs during the 1930s, such as the Manhattan Restaurant which was based on Manhattan's Cotton Club, the displayed artwork from the 1939 World's Fair or the Rockefeller Center-based Rockefeller Plaza; a courtyard which provides a skating rink in winter and in summer a fountain featuring a map of Manhattan.
The hotel opened with Disneyland Resort Paris in April 1992.
