This batch of images from 1956 shows some amazingly rare interior shots of the Disneyland Hotel. Let's see what the exterior looks like first, shall we? This closeup shows the signage as well as a few vintage autos.
A few shots of our group walking the grounds of the Hotel.
Zooming in, we see that this couple have found an orange. Free food on a Disney property? It must be the past!
I am digging these lobby shots with the fireplace!
Just in case you want a closeup of the lovely ladies in the photo:
Looks like even back in the 50s, there was a love for all things Tiki:
The last one for today gives another view of the Hotel's pool:
...with the obligatory closeup to show off the details. I am guessing that the gent in the back was part of this group.
See more vintage and contemporary Disneyland Hotel photos at my main website.
Love that mid-century modern design. What a fireplace! That's what I want in my living room.
ReplyDeleteI have a video from 1957 transferred from a 16mm film which shows footage of a host walking through the Hotel lobby where he meets with several people sitting around this fireplace. Not sure when this was removed from the lobby but subsequent photos from early 1960's show it no longer there.
