The property originally opened as the Emerald Hotel in 1984 and was later known as the Pan Pacific Hotel. Disney purchased it in December 1995 and changed its name to the Disneyland Pacific Hotel. In December 2000, the hotel was remodeled and reopened as Disney's Paradise Pier Hotel to complement one of the themed lands in the adjacent Disney's California Adventure Park.
The hotel is one of the few tall buildings in the Western Hemisphere to have a 13th floor. Due to the common superstition of the number 13, most buildings in America skip that number — the floor after 12 is 14, then 15 and so on. This is a result of the original owners being from Japan, where 13 is not considered bad luck. Disney has not since changed this.
