Hotels in Anaheim

Our shortlist of hotels in Anaheim, California: every qualifying property within 8 miles of the centre, with the reason behind each pick.

35 qualifying stays
8 mile radius

Anaheim's hotel market is organised almost entirely around the resort district on Harbor Boulevard and Katella Avenue. Distance to the theme-park entrance is the variable that moves price here more than anything else. The Anaheim Packing District sits north with the independent food scene.

Areas covered: Anaheim Resort District, Harbor Boulevard, Anaheim Packing District, Garden Grove.

Selection radius: properties within 8 miles of the centre of Anaheim, measured from coordinates in our source data.

35 qualifying stays reviewed. 12 made this shortlist.

We start from every hotel, inn, resort, lodge and bed & breakfast in our United States dataset that scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com with at least 100 guest reviews. For this page we then looked only at properties in Anaheim. See how we select hotels.

Common questions

How close do Anaheim hotels need to be to walk to the parks?

Properties along Harbor Boulevard within about a mile of the main entrance are a realistic walk; beyond that most people use the shuttle or drive.

How many hotels in Anaheim made this shortlist?

35 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is Ayres Hotel Orange at 9.4, with a 9.3 guest rating from 731 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $113 to $326 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

It is our own 0-10 selection score, not a guest rating. It combines the Booking.com guest score (45%), review volume (20%), property class (10%), amenity fit (10%), independence and property character (10%) and price positioning (5%). The full method is published on the Charming Score page.

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
