Holiday Inn Chessington at Chessington World of Adventures

The Holiday Inn Chessington, part of the national Holiday Inn chain, is located right next to the theme park's Lodge Gate entrance. Prices vary by season, but are often lower than competing hotels in the Greater London area. Some of the hotel's rooms feature a safari theme, and it is also possible to get a room overlooking the Wanyama Village and Reserve's savannah, where a number of animals roam during daylight hours (though, of course, you're likely to be in the theme park itself during this period).

The hotel also houses bars, restaurants and a heated indoor swimming pool. It is possible to buy an "Early Rider" package for selected dates, enabling entry to the park 45 minutes before the official opening time.
