ANAHEIM, Calif. (October 28th, 2025) – Hilton Anaheim, the largest hotel property in Orange County and a premier destination steps from the Anaheim Convention Center and Disneyland® Resort, proudly announces the completion of its multi-million dollar, full-property renovation. The comprehensive transformation, which began in July 2024, culminated in the hotel’s grand unveiling on Thursday, October 23rd, and featured a ribbon-cutting ceremony with local officials, guided property tours for dignitaries and VIPs, and an evening celebration for guests and attendees.

 

“Completing this renovation, the most significant transformation in our history, is a major milestone for our hotel and our entire team,” said Sergio Bocci, general manager, Hilton Anaheim. “For over a year, we navigated construction, while keeping our commitment to serving guests, reimagining every space for the future, and honoring the legacy of what this property means to Anaheim. This transformation has allowed us to celebrate the property’s role in Anaheim over the past 40 years while creating a hotel ready to welcome guests, neighbors, and partners to gather for years to come.”

 

The renovation, completed in multiple phases, encompassed: 

  • Guest Rooms & Suites – All 1,574 rooms and suites were redesigned with modern furnishings, spacious layouts, soothing earth tones, and vibrant accent blues inspired by California landscapes. Features include upgraded lighting, plush bedding, warm wood accents, and updated carpeting, creating a refined yet welcoming environment. 

 

  • Meeting & Event Spaces – The hotel’s 105,959 sq. ft. of meeting and event space received a complete update, including modern desks and chairs, horizon-inspired wallcoverings, leather-like vinyl finishes, deeper wood tones, and enhanced lighting. The ballrooms and conference rooms now provide sophisticated, flexible settings for conferences, weddings, and social events, complemented by expanded audiovisual and technology capabilities.

 

  • Lobby & Poppy’s Lounge – The reimagined lobby is now an inviting communal hub, featuring open seating, tree-inspired motifs, nature-inspired textures, and a custom LED lighting system evoking a California sky. Anchoring the space, Poppy’s Lounge blends modern elegance with comfort, offering handcrafted cocktails, shareable bites, plush seating, and a striking grand chandelier custom-made in Los Angeles.

  • Saltflower – Poolside coastal-inspired restaurant serving light bites, seasonal fare, and handcrafted tiki-style cocktails. With its open-air design and pool-facing views, it delivers a relaxed yet refined, all-season atmosphere.

 

  • In-House Starbucks – Hilton Anaheim’s renovated 3,000 sq. ft. Starbucks offers a bright, modern design with warm wood tones, abundant natural light, and inviting seating. The refreshed location provides enhanced speed, convenience, and personalization for both hotel guests and the local community. 

 

  • Outdoor & Recreational Spaces – The newly branded Anaheim Rooftide Terrace on the fifth floor offers a 1,200 sq. ft. pool, hot tubs, a kids’ splash area, fire pits, lawn games, flexible lounge zones, and lush landscaping. Saltflower anchors the terrace, providing alfresco dining and a resort-style experience designed for relaxation, social connection, and family-friendly enjoyment.

 

“From the lobby to our guest rooms, from rooftop pool experiences to our signature dining venues, every element has been thoughtfully designed to deliver a world-class experience,” Bocci added. “We’re proud to reaffirm Hilton Anaheim as a leading destination for travelers seeking both comfort and connection in the heart of Orange County.”
