Since its launch in 2019, the innovative concept has been met with resounding success. Each year, thousands of enthusiasts eagerly await the calendar's opening to fulfill their dream.
An Award-Winning Hotel Concept
The Pairi Daiza Resort brought a unique concept to Belgium and the hotel world in June 2019. For the first time, hotel guests could stay overnight with a direct view of Steller sea lions, fallow deer, European wolves, and brown and black bears.
The Pairi Daiza experience is fully reflected in these unique accommodations: fostering a love for nature through a premium hotel concept that showcases, 24/7, how magnificent wild and farm animals live.
In 2020, guests experienced for the first time the immersion of luxurious hotel rooms in The Land of the Cold, located next to polar bears, walruses, penguins, and Siberian tigers. Humans and animals admire each other directly, sometimes separated only by a sturdy glass wall. This was a rapid and revolutionary development for the park and an added value for Belgium’s hotel industry, which resonated far beyond its borders.
Already in 2022, the Pairi Daiza Resort has been awarded "Best New Hotel Concept in the Benelux" for its accommodations offering views of polar bears, walruses, and penguins.
The Resorts boast a yearly occupancy rate of over 90% of its capacity.
Spring 2024, the Pairi Daiza Resort expanded with the opening of 21 Farmhouse Lodges, located in the renovated historical abbey farm. Inspired by the rural architecture of Hainaut, these accommodations combine authenticity, heritage and modernity. Visitors can enjoy unique interactions with farm animals such as goats, wallabies, chickens, and rheas, helped by a special treat: a portion of animal food for those who stay in the Farmhouse.
In September 2024 Pairi Daiza was also awarded "Best Zoo in Europe" for the second time by German tourist specialists. Different juries have bestowed Pairi Daiza five times with this title.
On October 8 2024, the Pairi Daiza Resort came second in the election of the "Most Innovative Holiday Park in the Benelux" by a Dutch jury:
"Pairi Daiza is much more than a zoo: it is a true paradise on Earth. The attention to detail, whether in animal care or unique accommodations, is unparalleled. Every stay exceeds expectations and turns dreams into reality."
One of Belgium's best kept secret also inspired people from the UK:
