Chessington Hotel

Short Breaks at Chessington Resort

Overview

There are just so many wild and wonderful things to do and see at Chessington, that one day just isn’t enough. So turn a day out into a break away and stay a night or two at Chessington Resort Hotel.

With safari-themed rooms, an indoor swimming pool & spa and the fantastic Zafari Bar & Grill, it’s just a few strides away from the Park.

Make the hotel your African-style base camp for exploring the Park, Zoo and SEA LIFE Centre, coming and going as you choose – swim and siesta anyone?

Or combine your Resort fun with an outing to nearby Kingston or Guildford – great for shopping. And you could even pop up to London for a little sightseeing and a show.
