Rooms & Themed Accommodations

Chessington Resort Hotel offers themed rooms including Giraffe, Zebra, and Jumanji rooms, each with a separate children's sleeping area and flat-screen TV. The Safari Hotel and Azteca Hotel provide different themed experiences, with some rooms overlooking the Wanyama animal reserve. Guests receive a treasure hunt in the room, leading to a toy and Oreo biscuits as part of the in-room experience.

The hotel has two themed restaurants: Zafari Bar & Grill with a theatre kitchen and views over the African-style Wanyama reserve, and Temple Restaurant in a mystical ancient temple atmosphere. The Zafari Bar & Grill serves flame-grilled meats, crisp salads, and coffees, while Temple Restaurant offers a buffet dinner and breakfast. Evening entertainment includes movie nights, a games room, and occasional character meet-and-greets such as the Gruffalo.

The hotel offers exclusive animal encounters available only for hotel guests, including views of zebras, ostriches, and antelopes from the Wanyama reserve. Special birthday packages and family-friendly events are held throughout the year, along with a kid-friendly buffet and kids' meals at both restaurants.
