BACKSTORY: Located at 1030 Katella Avenue, The Anabella Hotel was once a Daveland favorite when visiting Disneyland. Alas, it closed in 2017 to make way for a high-end resort, The Anaheim Hotel. The Anabella was a Mission-Style hotel that was beautifully landscaped and appointed. Formerly the site of The Magic Lamp Motel, it once had a 20' tall glowing genie in front. The Magic Lamp Motel, Magic Carpet (1016 Katella), and the Golden Forest Inn (1050 Katella, and before that a Ramada Inn) were combined (and totally refurbished) to create the Anabella Hotel around 2000.
