UK theme park reveals ‘world first’ hotel rooms for guests – with built in slides and cookie-shaped beds

A UK theme park has unveiled some brand new themed hotel rooms ahead of the summer, including one with its very own slide.

The two rooms can be found at Chessington World of Adventures Resort’s Safari Hotel, both of which are believed to be world firsts.

The Oreo room, complete with an Oreo cookie shaped bed is one of the two brand new options available to guests.

The other is a room with a slide, based on juice drink, Capri-Sun.

Every inch of the Oreo room is decorated with hundreds of the world-renowned cookies.

Guests can sandwich themselves between the sheets in the custom Oreo bed or follow the milk trail to a separate bunk bed, appearing as if built from Oreos piled high.

The sweet snack even features on wallpaper in the bathroom.

Of course the room wouldn’t be complete without a good supply of actual Oreos, meaning guests will have the perfect midnight snack right there in their room once they check in.

For those who prefer fruitier flavours, the Capri-Sun room might be more appropriate.

Decor inspired by the popular juice drink appear across the bed and bathroom, which also has a jungle theme, with neon light features and a mini-bar filled with Capri-Sun.

However, the standout feature is almost certainly the big yellow slide for kids to play on.

Karl Phipp, Hotel Operations Director at Chessington World of Adventures Resort, said: “We’re excited to add these two tasty new hotel bedrooms to the existing themed rooms already at our Safari Hotel.

“Hopefully families will find them delicious and after a day enjoying our theme park and zoo, a stay in a room with your own slide or Oreo shaped bed simply continues the fun.”

The rooms join the selection of themed rooms in the Safari Hotel, including a Gruffalo room, a Room on the Broom room and a Jumanji Room.

There are also giraffe rooms, tiger rooms and monkey temple rooms available among others.

Stays in both the Oreo and the Capri-Sun room can be booked online via the Chessington website now.

Rooms at the Safari Hotel start from £259, with accommodation, breakfast, one day ticket and a free second day ticket included in that price.

It’s not the only new accommodation springing up this year, with several new holiday park options opening elsewhere.

Butlins – Maple Walk Village 

At the end of last year Butlin’s revealed it will be opening a set of £12million holiday lodges in time for summer 2024.

A total of 128 lodges will be part of a huge revamp of the Skegness resort, and will be known as Maple Walk Village.

Legoland Windsor – Woodland Village

New lodges aren’t exclusive to Butlin’s either, with Legoland’s brand-new Woodland Village set to open its to the public by May 2024.

The resort will be scattered across a huge 10-acre site and will be made up of 130 new holiday lodges as well as 20 camping barrels.

Eurocamp – 57 new holiday parks

Outside of the UK, European holiday resort Eurocamp has revealed plans to launch a total of 57 new parks this year.

Those parks will be spread across France, Spain and Italy, with water parks and beach access at some of them.

Meanwhile, this new seaside resort is opening in Wales this summer.

And these are the best dates to bag cheap staycations in 2024.
