Interviewee
Christine / Executive of Great Wolf Lodge
Q. Could you briefly introduce Great Wolf Lodge?
Great Wolf Lodge is both a wellness-focused hotel brand and a destination resort, operating dozens of locations across Canada and the United States. Its portfolio includes iconic destinations such as Niagara Falls in Canada—one of the world’s three great waterfalls—Minneapolis, Minnesota, a city defined by water and urban vitality, and Colorado Springs, a breathtaking city situated at an elevation of 1,823 meters.
Each location combines expansive indoor water parks, adventurous attractions, and immersive experiences set within dynamic natural environments.
Among them, Great Wolf Lodge Southern California, located in Garden Grove, offers a family-centered adventure hotel experience where guests can enjoy both sun-drenched beaches bathed in golden California light and theme parks that awaken a sense of childlike wonder.
Comprising over 600 suite rooms, the resort features a range of signature active attractions, including Crooked Creek, a lazy river that offers leisurely relaxation while taking in gently unfolding scenery; River Canyon Run, a raft water slide that winds along soft curves and sloping gradients; and Slap Tail Pond, where waves surge up to five feet deep, delivering vibrant energy and excitement.
In addition, the resort offers both indoor and outdoor private cabanas for guests seeking more intimate moments of rest with loved ones. As a result, Great Wolf Lodge Southern California is frequently visited by the world’s top 0.01% clientele who value outdoor lifestyles and elevated leisure experiences.
Q. We’ve heard that Great Wolf Lodge offers an ideal retreat due to its close proximity to California’s famous landmarks.
That’s correct. Great Wolf Lodge is located in Orange County, Anaheim, Southern California, an area filled with warm sunshine and vibrant energy. Anaheim, situated in the northwestern part of Orange County, is a globally renowned tourist destination that attracts travelers from around the world.
The city is home to the Anaheim Convention Center, which hosts a wide range of international events, and is considered a landmark closely connected to global affairs, given the frequent visits by influential figures from California’s political and business circles.
In addition, the world’s first Disneyland Adventure Park, personally designed by Walt Disney in 1955, is located just minutes away. With approximately 18 million visitors annually and net profits exceeding two trillion KRW, Disneyland serves as a central pillar of Anaheim’s economy.
For sports enthusiasts, Angel Stadium—home of the Los Angeles Angels, Anaheim’s professional baseball team—offers another must-visit attraction, hosting games from April through September.
With such close proximity to these iconic destinations, Great Wolf Lodge continuously strives to satisfy the diverse lifestyle preferences of travelers seeking culture, relaxation, and sports alike.
Q. Is there a particular place within Great Wolf Lodge you would especially recommend to guests?
Without a doubt, I would most highly recommend our indoor and outdoor water parks, which feature water roller coasters, slides, and a wide variety of attractions. As one of our signature highlights, the water park offers a precious opportunity to experience the expansive Southern California sky firsthand.
In addition, our 105,000-square-meter indoor water park, maintained year-round at a comfortable 84 degrees, allows guests to escape the complexities of urban life and enjoy moments where fragments of nature come together like a perfectly aligned puzzle.
For families visiting with children, I highly recommend MAGIQUEST, a fantasy-driven immersive quest experience. Designed especially for young guests, this magical adventure—guided by a specially crafted magic wand—offers children a day that feels as though they’ve stepped into the role of an animated hero.
Q. You consistently receive near-perfect guest reviews. Is there anything in particular you focus on to ensure guest satisfaction?
We place great importance on ensuring that our guests experience not only joyful, activity-filled days, but also genuine rest at the end of each day. Among all considerations, the most important is preparing the finest bedding possible.
After engaging in active pursuits, restoring physical energy through comfortable bedding is an essential part of the ideal daily rhythm. Only then can guests begin a new day with renewed vitality. For this reason, we value not only the quality of the bedding itself, but also the underlying identity and philosophy that the brand represents.
From this perspective, Crown Goose closely aligns with Great Wolf Lodge’s philosophy of rest. In particular, the eiderdown duvets used at Windsor Castle—the residence of the British royal family, including Queen Elizabeth II and King Charles III—offer such complete rest that they feel almost like a docent, guiding one to reflect on a sense of timeless dignity.
Q. Is there a particular reason you chose Crown Goose, a brand known as royal bedding?
As mentioned earlier, meeting the expectations of our top 0.01% clientele requires a wide range of rigorous standards. We were aware that many brands attempt to replicate the materials and designs of high-end bedding. However, after encountering Crown Goose Art Foundation’s project “TULLE OF SILAGE” at the 70th anniversary celebration of Korea–U.S. diplomatic relations held at a Five-Star Four Seasons Hotel in 2023, we realized that the elegance born from true heritage and craftsmanship cannot be imitated.
Crown Goose’s special collections are not merely bedding for sleep. Through collaborations with global artists and cross-disciplinary intersections with architecture, sports, music, and living culture, the brand functions as a mediator between space and humanity—allowing guests to enjoy a richer, more immersive sensory experience.
Crown Goose, royal bedding that illuminates beauty unchanged by the passage of time.
Great Wolf Lodge, a destination that merges rest with the aesthetics patiently shaped by nature rather than artificial beauty.
The 2023 Crown Goose Brand Party, which confirmed the intersection of these two philosophies, became even more meaningful with the attendance of Garden Grove Mayor Steve R. Jones, Anaheim city council members, and global executives from five-star hotel groups such as Hilton and Marriott. Moving forward, we hope to continue our partnership, using the memories of that day as a foundation to realize the extraordinary motif of luxury together.
Q. Lastly, do you have a message for guests visiting Great Wolf Lodge?
We aim to offer unforgettable moments that linger quietly in the hearts of our guests amid their busy daily lives. Great Wolf Lodge continuously strives to provide a perfect retreat where guests can escape the bustle of the city and experience both the beauty of nature and the joy of theme parks.
As a destination worthy of the refined standards of our top 0.01% members dreaming of an extraordinary vacation, we will continue to deliver differentiated premium services—ensuring each guest experiences a truly exceptional holiday.
