Loyal fans of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean can now sleep like buccaneers in the elegant “Pirates of the Caribbean Suite” atop the Sierra Tower of the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim.
Formerly one of the hotel’s Presidential Suites, the Pirate Room provides family lodging that combines modern conveniences with décor, furnishings and ambiance of the famous film franchise.
The “Pirates of the Caribbean Suite” experience begins as you ring the doorbell, which plays, “Yo Ho, Yo Ho, A Pirate’s Life For Me,” and enter the living room.
In the living room, you'll find Old World rugs covering dark-stained hardwood floors, with wooden beams overhead.
The Spanish colonial-style furnishings could be part of a pirate’s plunder, yet the room also provides landlubbers’ comforts including a wet bar, 42-inch plasma TV and surround sound stereo system.
Down the hall, the Master Bedroom (or “Captain’s Quarters”) features a
vintage canopied four-poster bed with cast iron lighting fixtures and
(in addition to a 37-inch LCD TV) decorative artwork inspired by
elements of the Pirates of the Caribbean films and attractions.
The Master bath compliments the pirate furnishing with some more modern amenities such as a Jacuzzi tub and steam shower.
Younger guests will find their own pirate stronghold in the second bedroom, which features a more playfully rustic theme with nautical-inspired furniture.
Among the treasures to be discovered in the suite, including some in locked display cases, are a replica of Captain Jack Sparrow’s revolver, rare pirate figurines (discontinued) from the popular Walt Disney Classics Collection, a lithograph signed
