Scheduling a trip to Anaheim for a conference at the Convention Center but also want to pack in a family vacation filled with fun activities to do that will meet the needs of your entire group? That’s no problem at Hyatt Place or Hyatt House in Anaheim.
Virtually the same hotels with different addresses, both locations cater to the vacationing needs of families wanting to book all of the fun activities in Anaheim like whale watching near Anaheim, a visit to California Adventure and Disneyland, and possibly a seat near the dugout at a local Dodgers game.
The main distinction between these two locations is their physical address and that Hyatt Place is located inside the Anaheim Convention Center, right across the street from the Toy Story parking lot. Many who choose this location rave about its proximity to the free shuttle taking you straight to the front gates of Disneyland Park. Hyatt House is “in the neighborhood” with many of the same amenities but will require a short 15-minute walk to the park.
Both locations are great, it’s just a matter of what fits your group’s needs best. Look at their websites to see your differences and choose the one that is best for you.
A few miles down the road from Anaheim, whale watching reigns supreme and is better than any other location around town! Once you are done with the park, come relax by the seaside, and we will show you the wildlife that is the main attraction just a short drive away.
