Not many people have seen nor stayed in the Presidential Suite at the Disneyland Hotel. These shots give a rare inside look inside this room in what most working class families could only dream about ever staying in. Starting at near $80 a night in the 1960's, rates soared to over $500 a night in the late 80's. At 1250 square feet, this was bigger than my first house! President Nixon used this room during his stay at the Hotel in the 1968 Presidential campaign run. It frequently hosted top named celebrities and corporate executives or even friends and family to the Wrather family. The suite opened in 1962 with the completion of the first Tower Building, later the Sierra Tower. I don't know what they are calling the building now days.

Presidential Suite Floorplan 1980's - At 1250 square feet, this was one of the largest rooms available to very special (amd wealthy) Disneyland Hotel guests
1978 Disneyland Hotel Room rates - The Presidential Suite would have cost you $300 a night at the Disneyland Hotel in 1978.
Presidential Suite in the 1960's - Looks pretty drab in black and white
Penthouse Suite 1980's - Looks much better in color
