The rooftop pool is a signature part of the Pixar Place Hotel experience and the entire area has been given a refresh and retheme to bring together characters from FINDING NEMO and the studio’s iconic shorts.
A new rooftop lounge area is also part of the expansion along with an eventual pool bar with bites and sips.
Pool Area
Hotel guests can enjoy a colorful new pool area, where families can take a ride down Crush’s Surfin’ Slide, splash in the Pixel Pool and play in Nemo’s Cove, a pop-jet splash pad featuring characters like Hank, Squirt, Dory and Marlin.
Guests may choose to rent private daybeds, cabanas or pods in the daytime; relax at night around fire pits sculpted to the likeness of some of Pixar’s most hotheaded characters, including Ember from “Elemental” and Anger from “Inside Out”; and see fireworks from this rooftop deck on select nights.
Pixar Shorts Court
Adjacent to the rooftop pool, hotel guests can play outdoor games that pay homage to Pixar short films, such as Bao Toss, Follow the Leader, Shuffleboard and Burrow Path – respectively themed to “Bao,” “For the Birds” “La Luna” and “Burrow.” The nearby umbrella counter is an area to enjoy food and drinks under the love-struck umbrellas from “The Blue Umbrella.”
Small Bytes
- Opening early March 2024, the rooftop pool bar will serve salads, wraps, assorted cheese plates and more with signature beverages.
- The bar’s exterior wall features 22 pixel-art style portraits of Pixar characters designed specifically for the hotel.
- Artwork on the exterior features pixel-art style character portraits — a nod to the use of computer technology in Pixar’s films.
