Formerly part of the national Holiday Inn chain but now operated by Chessington itself, the Chessington Safari Hotel is located right next to the theme park's Lodge Gate entrance. Prices vary by season. Some of the hotel's rooms feature a safari theme or a Penguins of Madagascar 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.
