The Knott’s Hotel located on the Knott’s Berry Farm property is steps away from the fun! We opted to stay at the newly renovated Knott’s Hotel for an action-packed staycation.

As a Knott’s Ambassador, I receive complimentary admission to the theme park. Hotel acccommodations were not sponsored.

Knott’s Berry Farm Hotel Renovations

A new Knott’s Hotel pays tribute to founders Walter and Cordelia Knott in a modern hotel space. The revamped Knott’s Hotel celebrates their legacy by seamlessly blending tradition and modern appointments, offering a retreat with 322 rooms suitable for both theme park enthusiasts and business travelers.

The magnificant chandellier at the center of the lobby plays off of jam jars of yesteryear. The carpet even has boysenberries in its design!

Knott’s Hotel Restaurants

Thirty Acres Kitchen, the hotel’s new full-service restaurant, serves up farm-inspired dishes and classic American fare. With a nod to the original 30 acres of the Knott’s farm and Cordelia Knott’s culinary expertise, the restaurant offers seasonal menu items tailored to complement the park’s themed areas, festivals, and events. The addition of an expanded outdoor dining veranda enhances the dining experience, while a spacious double-sided wrap-around bar in the lobby invites guests to savor locally inspired craft cocktails and small plates in a cozy and eclectic atmosphere.

We found the menus to be family-friendly generously portioned. Pizza, burgers, pasta, and other comfort food items filled the menu. The charming details like a chalkboard farmhouse door mirror what Mrs. Knotts would have written on the menu board outside her restaurant.

Thirty Acres Restaurant Hours

  • Breakfast Buffet – 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM
  • Lunch – 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM
  • Dinner – 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM

The Pantry

Step away from the parks for a sip of coffee from The Pantry. Serving Starbucks coffee, the hotel coffee bar offers beverages, plus baked goods and small bites like mixed fruit, salads, and pasta.

If you’re looking to use your Starbucks stars, head to the official location in the California Marketplace right outside the park exit.

Berry Place

Paying homage to the original berry stand, the hotel shop is called “Berry Place.” Stock up on your favorite Knott’s Berry Farm merchandise to serve as precious souvenirs of your stay.

Knott’s Hotel Guestrooms

Each of the guestrooms and suites has undergone renovation, boasting handcrafted details that exude a refined farmhouse aesthetic.

With my family of six, we opted for connecting rooms, each with two extremely comfortable queen beds. This allowed us the space to relax while staying connected. Speaking of connected, there are chargers built into the lamps. We were charmed by the artwork that captured the spirit of Knott’s Berry farm, like close-up photography of the Bottle House.

The bathroom features an illuminated mirror with touch activated controls, plus elevated toiletries. My Knott’s loving heart appreciated the boysenberry-imprinted handsoap.
