A third luxury 4 Star hotel (or 4 Diamond, if you belong to the Auto Club) has just been announced for Anaheim. The Wincome Group, the same developer that announced a couple months ago it would build a 4 star hotel on the old Anaheim Plaza site across the street from Tower of Terror, has announced that they plan to demolish the old Annabella Hotel on Katella. A new 650 room luxury hotel with a price tag of $225 Million and aimed at the convention market and upscale tourists would rise in its place in 2018.
Full story with more photos and renderings is here: http://www.ocregister.com/articles/hotel-696747-anaheim-city.html
This is the new hotel looking south across Katella Avenue, directly south of California Screamin' and the backside of Paradise Pier. The Anaheim Arena is seen off to the left, with the Anaheim Convention Center seen behind the hotel.
The hotel's "luxury brand" has not yet been announced by Wincome (standard practice in the hotel trade), so the project still has the working title of "Anabella Hotel" with the construction and planning documents filed with the city, as the name of the property currently there since 2001.
Judging by the architecture and aesthetic in the multiple renderings, I wonder if it's not a Ritz Carlton? That would be a definite coup for Anaheim.
The Anabella Hotel that sits there now is a sprawling two-story motel complex that was pieced together from three old 1960's motels in the late 1990's and pleasantly remodeled and rebranded as the Anabella Hotel.
This is what the Anabella Hotel looks like now, near the corner of Katella and Disneyland Drive.
If we're lucky that horrible coffee shop on the corner -Tiffy's, will also be demolished with this project.
