------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Landmark Hotel Next to Disney

Hilton Anaheim stands as one of Anaheim, California's most iconic hotels, boasting an exceptionally prime location adjacent to the Anaheim Convention Center and within walking distance of the world-renowned Disneyland Resort. Leveraging its scale and proven expertise in hosting conventions and events, Hilton Anaheim has long been the preferred choice for major international conferences, industry exhibitions, high-end banquets, and both business and leisure travelers. Boasting 1,574 guest rooms, it ranks among Southern California's most influential integrated conference hotels. Its banquet halls and meeting spaces see exceptionally high usage, demanding far greater durability, comfort, and spatial flexibility from furnishings than standard hotels.

Multi-Million Dollar Renovation Project

To further enhance overall quality and market competitiveness, Hilton Anaheim has launched a multi-million-dollar comprehensive renovation project, and finish in spring 2025.This transformation centers on a modern, stylish design direction while preserving the hotel's classic charm and incorporating vibrant California-inspired elements.

Renovation Scope

The renovation encompasses multiple key areas, including:

• Comprehensive upgrades to 1,574 guest rooms and suites
• Repurposing and renovation of 105,959 square feet of meeting and event space
• Brand refresh for restaurants and bars
• Functional and visual enhancements to outdoor public spaces

Among these, the ballroom and meeting spaces—core operational areas of the hotel—represent one of the most significant components of this renovation.

Ballroom Renewal: Professional Furniture Solutions for High-Frequency Use

Within Hilton Anaheim's comprehensive renovation plan, the upgrade of ballroom and meeting spaces serves a dual purpose: enhancing operational efficiency and elevating guest experience. The hotel boasts approximately 150,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event space, accommodating up to 3,000 attendees simultaneously. It supports diverse meeting formats, including large-scale keynote events, high-frequency reconfiguration of the 28,000-square-foot ballroom, well-lit foyer social areas, and flexible breakout rooms. In such a high-traffic environment, seating is not merely a visual element—it directly impacts event experience, venue efficiency, and operational costs. Yumeya is honored to have participated in this project, providing professional banquet chair solutions for Hilton Anaheim's ballroom.

4,000 Banquet Chairs Help Hotel Maximize Space and Efficiency

To address the Hilton Anaheim Ballroom's demands for high-frequency use, large-scale setup, and rapid reconfiguration, Yumeya supplied 4,000 metal wood grain flex back chairs. The NeoWB Series 6061 model was selected and customized for the hotel's specific operational needs.

• Ergonomic flex back design

Conferences and large events often last several hours, placing higher demands on a chair's support structure for prolonged sitting. Traditional banquet chairs frequently cause back fatigue due to insufficient support during use. The NeoWB Series employs an L-shaped structural design, separating the backrest from the base and utilizing specialized connectors to bear the load. When the user reclines, the backrest naturally rebounds in response to body movement, providing continuous and comfortable lumbar support.

Within the flex back design for banquet chairs, the industry primarily offers two solutions: steel connectors and solid aluminum one-piece connectors. Steel connectors dominate mainstream products due to their significant cost advantage, helping reduce initial procurement expenses for furniture distributors and hotel projects. However, under prolonged, high-frequency use, steel is prone to deformation and metal fatigue, posing breakage risks and potentially generating unwanted noises. This compromises overall usability and increases long-term maintenance costs.

In contrast, solid aluminum inherently excels in ductility, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance. In the NeoWB series, Yumeya employs solid aluminum structures as core connecting components. This design maintains stable rebound performance while significantly enhancing overall durability and lifespan, making it ideal for hotel banquets, conferences, and other high-intensity usage scenarios.

• Custom Waterfall Seat Design

The chair features a custom waterfall seat design with a naturally sloping front edge. This effectively reduces pressure on the back of the thighs, preventing blood vessel compression. This detail is particularly crucial during extended meetings, forums, and banquets, allowing guests to remain relaxed even during prolonged sitting and significantly improving comfort ratings.

• Stackable Design for Operational Efficiency

For conference hotels, space equals profit. When chairs stack efficiently for storage, setup is accelerated, warehouse space is minimized, and manual handling/transportation costs are reduced. During frequent transitions between meetings, banquets, and social events, stackability dramatically boosts venue turnover efficiency, enabling hotels to maximize possibilities within limited space.

Large orders demand rigorous standardization and delivery capabilities

For such a massive refurbishment project, the order for 4,000 chairs tests not only quantity but also the supplier's production capacity and standardized management. Yumeya possesses a complete in-house production system, with all critical processes completed internally without outsourcing. This ensures product consistency and delivery reliability from the source:

• Advanced PCM equipment with precision controlled to 0.1mm

• Automated robotic assembly with tolerances controlled within 1mm

• Rigorous leveling and assembly inspection protocols guarantee uniform alignment during mass deployment

During banquet hall setup, banquet chairs are often arranged in concentrated rows where any height or angle discrepancy becomes magnified. Through rigorous standardized production and end-to-end quality control, we ensure each chair maintains visual and structural uniformity, meeting high-end hotels' demands for cohesive spatial quality. Meeting delivery deadlines directly impacts overall opening and operational schedules. Failure to deliver furniture on time subjects hotels to significant operational pressure.

A Trusted Partner for Hotel Furniture

The successful completion of the Hilton Anaheim renovation project not only revitalized the banquet hall but also elevated the overall ambiance and user experience of the meeting and event spaces. Through professional product design, consistent quality control, and reliable delivery capabilities, Yumeya has established itself as a trusted partner for hotel renovation projects.
