They have a master plan for the DLR, it just wasn't slated at the time is what I'm betting. It's likely going to be now, things are not done on our timeline or what we perceive they need to be done.

While this is different than the WDW Disney 360 Star Wars resort, for what it's worth, Jim Hill has been saying that a wing (one, one wing) will be Star Wars themed. But for all we know it might be as much a Star Wars wing as Adventure Tower, Frontier Tower, and Fantasy Tower at the DL Hotel are Adventurland, Frontierland, and Fantasyland themed. (Meaning, not very, aside from background music, carpet patterns, and framed concept art on the walls.)

That maybe, I have no inside information just what I suspect and infer based on what is announced.
Although I have seen a lot of what Jim Hill put out doesn't come to light. So things are always changing. With this new update to the hotel/shopping/parking plan the SW theme for a wing could have been scrapped.
Makes sense, but I'd bet on a few heavily themed suites as well.

Oye, that would be bad. There is some surface parking left in the southeast corner of this hotel property, just north of PP hotel. I would like to see a star wars wing be any of the separate towers in this project, and it looks like there is room for another couple hundred rooms in the future for more hotel rooms or dvc (or the movie theater and entertainment venues people want to see more of, despite how inconvenient it is to visit dlr for these types of venues). The eastern gateway property too could become hotels in the 2020s or 2030s. Really like the looks of this. As is, nothing is hokier and more terrible than walking out of the disneyland hotel into downtown disney. It looks like the worst regional outlet mall on the planet until you cross disneyland drive/ball road, and then it still isn't all that. While I wish more parking could be off site to leave this space for more hotel rooms etc adjacent to the parks, this seems like it has a great program and I'm excited to see what the permanent entrance gateway will look like now that 16,000 parking spaces will be concentrated at Mickey and Friends. Also, while contemporary and not themed (even though the style is essentially a theme), this is actually really strong architecture for a disney project. It looks a lot like the best starchitecture projects by Bjarke Ingels and Herzog and De Meuron coming to DTLA's arts district. Maybe the eastern gateway lot, PPH, and the area south of PP hotel and the new hotel parking structure can host themed hotels in the future

And BORING. Why can't U.S. Disney parks get awesome in-park hotels like the one in Disneyland Paris?

The hotel is nice, but perhaps Disney want cohesive look with DLH along with GCH. Both hotels have a contemporary architecture look to them.
I am just glad their is no crazy hard core theme hotels personally, If people don't like what business along harbor look out of place with many different looks, maybe it best for Disney not opt for various theme hotels.

I think the Victorian would be out of place but I don't think this blends with the DL hotel at all...one looks like 2017 Star Wars while the other looks like 1960's Star Trek.
NERD!

I'm definitely not one of those people. Disney kind of jumped the shark with the whole ornate Victorian thing with the Tokyo Disneyland Hotel. Its rigid symmetry and humungus scale make it one of the coldest and ugliest public buildings I've ever seen Disney produce. More appropriate for the Vegas Strip than a Disney resort in my opinion. It's terrible.
SO glad DLR isn't getting this.

Tokyo Disneyland Hotel is absolutely gorgeous.
Why would DLR ever get a Victorian hotel, when the hotel that inspired them all is an hour drive away?

Honestly that was my first thought upon seeing the concept art. I love contemporary design, and if this Hotel was from anyone but Disney i might feel different, but I just don't exactly dig this design. It doesn't feel unique enough to me is what's going through my mind. The Contemporary Resort has an iconic look and silhouette to it, this one doesn't. It kind of get a 1950s vibe from the concept art as well. Who knows maybe it will grow on me when I actually go visit it in a few years.
