Chessington Safari Hotel
About
Welcome to the Chessington Safari Hotel, a unique four‑star resort that blends the excitement of an African safari with the convenience of a modern hotel. Located on Leatherhead Road in Chessington, the hotel offers an expansive view over the Wanyama Reserve, where guests can spot zebras, antelopes, ostriches and the rare scimitar‑horned oryx up close. Each of the themed rooms—ranging from Jumanji and Zafari to the newly introduced Oreo & Capri Sun rooms—provides an adventurous, immersive atmosphere that feels like a step into the wild. Guests can indulge in the Zafari Bar & Grill’s lively dining experience, where fresh, Africa‑inspired dishes are complemented by an extensive drink selection. The State‑of‑the‑Art Conference Centre offers six meeting rooms equipped with natural daylight, air conditioning, and complimentary high‑speed Wi‑Fi. Whether you’re here for a family break, a corporate retreat, or a leisurely escape, the hotel’s amenities are designed to be both functional and entertaining. Its close proximity to the Chessington World of Adventures Resort means you can hop between the hotel and the park in minutes, enjoying a full day of rides, animal encounters and themed lands. The optimal time to visit is between March and November when the weather is mild and the safari wildlife is most active.
