One of the south’s most popular theme parks is opening the world’s first Minecraft Hotel.
Chessington World of Adventures, in Surrey, has revealed details of its huge new project, including an artist’s impression of what the rooms might look like.
The hotel will feature more than 60 rooms all themed around the game, so guests can experience Minecraft in real life and enjoy an overnight adventure.

The popular theme park is also building a Minecraft land, both of which will open in 2027.
Chessington said of the new land: "It's time to take your first steps on a new kind of Minecraft adventure...NEW for 2027, Minecraft World brings the game to life in the real world, exclusively at Chessington World of Adventures Resort.
“Whether you’re a seasoned player or a Minecraft novice, there’s plenty to discover. Explore the lush caves, mineshafts and plains of the Overworld, meet mobs for real (despite appearances, we promise they're not hostile), and Escape the Nether on the world’s first Minecraft rollercoaster!
“Only at Chessington can you Play Real Life Mode.”
And it said of its new hotel: “From the moment you arrive, the hotel transports you into Minecraft’s most recognisable environments. Blocky trees and animals will bring the Overworld to life at check-in, while Nether Portal inspired lifts and mine tunnel corridors will make every part of an overnight stay feel like another step into the world’s most popular game.
“And when it comes to the respawn point – the bedrooms – guests will be able to experience Minecraft's unmistakable blocks, items, mobs, textures and colours in real life, creating immersive spaces for dedicated fans and newcomers alike.
“The adventure continues in the underwater-themed restaurant inspired by Minecraft’s ocean biomes, before guests raise a glass of vibrant potions in the bar themed to the Woodland Mansion.”
