Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay is a family-friendly hotel packed with thoughtful services and facilities, just one stop from Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. In this guide, I'll walk you through the room types, on-site facilities, and everything that makes this hotel a smart base for a family trip - from the warm welcome at the front desk to Tiroir, the Welcome Lounge, and even a wedding chapel.
If you're wondering whether Shin-Urayasu is a good base for a Tokyo Disney trip, the short answer is yes - and I'll explain exactly why below, along with real guest reviews.
Is Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay a Disney hotel?
Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay is officially a Tokyo Disney Resort Partner Hotel - not a hotel operated by Disney itself, but one recognized and approved by Tokyo Disney Resort. That distinction matters a little for planning: "Official Hotels" (like Hotel MiraCosta or Tokyo Disney Celebration Hotel) sit right inside or at the park gates, while "Partner Hotels" like this one are a short shuttle or train ride away, usually at a friendlier price point. Guests still get real Disney-adjacent perks here - most notably, a free shuttle bus straight to both parks (more on that below).
Is Shin-Urayasu a good area to stay in for Tokyo Disney Resort?
Shin-Urayasu is one stop from Maihama Station (home to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea) on the JR Keiyo Line, and about 17 minutes from Tokyo Station. The hotel sits directly across from Shin-Urayasu Station, connected by a covered walkway, so you can get in and out without worrying about rain. There's also a shopping mall right by the station with a supermarket, a 100-yen shop, and a range of restaurants - handy for a night when you don't feel like going out. If your main goal is Tokyo Disney Resort with easy access to central Tokyo as a bonus, this area works well.
Room Types
Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay offers four main room categories to suit different types of stays: The Oriental Floor (a premium floor with early check-in and dedicated check-in counter), Marin Floor (newer rooms with a coastal design), Standard Plus, and Standard. Within the Standard category, the "Grande 6" room is especially popular with families - it sleeps up to 6 people across two 120cm-wide beds and two bunk beds, making it a practical choice for larger families or groups. Every room includes a humidifying air purifier and other small comforts that make a longer stay easier.
Front Desk: A Warm Welcome From the Moment You Arrive
The front desk is spacious and clean, with a calm, understated interior that sets the tone the moment you walk in. Staff are polite and approachable, and they're quick to help with everything from check-in to questions during your stay.
English support is available, so overseas guests can check in with confidence. Staff can also help with directions to Tokyo Disney Resort and general questions about the hotel's facilities, which is reassuring if it's your first stay.
Restaurant
Restaurant Grand Cinq serves a wide buffet-style spread. Breakfast covers a mix of Japanese, Western, and Chinese dishes, with some items prepared fresh in front of you. A colorful donut wall is a nice touch that kids in particular tend to love, making it an easy spot for a memorable family meal.
Hotel Facilities
Tiroir: Choose Your Own Amenities
"Tiroir" (French for "drawer") is one of the small pleasures of staying here - a self-service corner where you can pick out amenities to take back to your room, from skincare items to bath products to a choice of tea or coffee. It's stocked for both adults and kids, and it's worth a browse even if you don't think you need anything.
Welcome Lounge
The Welcome Lounge is free for all guests and a nice spot to unwind. It's a bright, plant-filled space with a range of soft drinks on offer, making it a good place to rest after check-in or after a day out exploring.
Baby Care Room
For guests traveling with infants, the hotel has a dedicated Baby Care Room with space for nursing and diaper changes. It's a small detail, but one that makes a real difference when you're traveling with a little one.
Coin Laundry
The hotel has a coin-operated laundry room available 24 hours a day - useful for longer stays or families packing light. There's a comfortable waiting area too, so you don't have to hover by the machines.
Luggage Storage (Package Space)
If you want to head straight to the parks before check-in, or squeeze in one more day after checkout, the hotel's Package Space lets you store luggage in secure, lockable lockers - even large suitcases fit comfortably.
A Relaxing Corner in the Lobby
The lobby includes an open lounge area anyone can use, with colorful sofas set beneath an arched design that feels a little like sitting under a small forest canopy. It's a comfortable spot to plan the next day or just take a breather as a family.
The Chapel
Tucked into the hotel is a glass-arched chapel surrounded by greenery, used for weddings held on-site. Natural light filters through the arch, giving the space a calm, quietly formal atmosphere - the aisle leads from a wooden door to a simple cross at the front.
You Might Spot a Wedding
If you're lucky, you might catch a glimpse of a bride and groom crossing the lobby - a nice reminder that this is also a working wedding venue, not just a place to sleep between park days.
A 24-Hour Lawson Inside the Hotel
There's a 24-hour Lawson convenience store inside the hotel, so you can grab snacks, drinks, or anything you forgot without stepping outside - handy after a late night back from the parks.
Design Details Worth Noticing
The lobby is a welcoming space with a soaring atrium that lets in plenty of natural light, and a few design details reward a closer look.
The Atrium
The lobby opens all the way up to the ceiling, with large windows and greenery that give the space a resort-like feel from the moment you step in.
The Sundial
A wall clock designed to resemble a sundial adds a distinctive accent to the lounge area, inscribed with the Latin phrase "DIES NOCTEM VINCIT" ("day conquers night") - a small nod to enjoying the passage of time rather than watching it.
This corner also doubles as a Halloween photo spot in season, and the stonework gives it a bit of an old European street feel.
The Floor Design
An arrow and the letter "N" set into the floor mark true north - a small, easy-to-miss detail that doubles as a nice symbol for the start of your journey.
Make Your Own Souvenir Medal
For a small extra souvenir, there's a coin-press machine where you can design and mint your own medal for 200 yen - simple enough that kids can do it themselves, and a nice keepsake from the trip.
Getting There
Free Shuttle Bus to Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea
Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay runs a free shuttle bus to both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea. No reservation is needed - just board from the bus stop on the 1st floor. The ride takes roughly 15 to 30 minutes depending on traffic, with services running from early morning through late evening, so it works whether you're heading in for rope drop or coming back after the fireworks. Timetables shift seasonally, so check the official shuttle bus page for the current schedule before you go.
By Train
The hotel is directly connected to Shin-Urayasu Station on the JR Keiyo Line, so you won't get wet on a rainy day. It's about 17 minutes by train from Tokyo Station, and just one stop (3 minutes) to Maihama Station, home to both Disney parks. Airport limousine buses to and from Narita and Haneda are also available, making the hotel a workable base whether you're flying in or heading straight out after your stay.
By Car & Parking

If you're driving, exit the Shuto Expressway Bayshore Route at "Urayasu," then follow signs toward Tomioka and Urayasu Chuo Park before joining Wakashio-dori toward Shin-Urayasu Station. The hotel has an on-site car park (169 spaces; height limits of 2.5m on B1 and 2.3m on B2). Overnight parking runs from around 2,500 yen for one night, with rates rising for longer stays - check the official site for current pricing, as rates are subject to change. Weekends and holidays can get busy, so public transport is worth considering if you'd rather skip the traffic.

Guest Reviews
The Halloween decorations around the sundial area were surprisingly elaborate and made for great photos. My kids loved that there was a costume-friendly stay plan too.
We used the restaurant for a friend's birthday. Huge variety of food, free-flow soft drinks, and no time limit on weekdays - genuinely great value.
First time staying here and the front desk staff were lovely - patient with my broken Japanese and happy to switch to English. Room was spotless too.
Being connected to Shin-Urayasu Station via a covered walkway was more useful than I expected - we didn't get wet at all on a rainy travel day, luggage and all.
Honestly didn't expect a dedicated baby care room. Having a nursing space made it much easier to head out and about with our newborn.
We happened to see a wedding party crossing the lobby during our stay - the chapel surrounded by greenery looked beautiful. A nice surprise on top of the Disney trip.
Arrived by car on a weekend and the car park was full, so we were directed to a nearby contracted lot. → Public transport or the shuttle bus is worth considering on weekends and holidays.
Assumed we could buy park tickets at the front desk and found out we couldn't. → Book a stay plan with ticket vouchers included, or buy tickets online before you travel.
