Waking up next to a walrus is an alarming prospect, but here it's a big attraction.
This 'zoo with a view' has capitalised on its collection of exotic animals to open up as a hotel, offering a unique insight on its resident attractions.
The Pairi Daiza Resort near Brussels was recently named 'Europe's Best Zoo' for a third time by the Diamond Themepark Awards. However it is the zoo's newest enclosures which have captured visitors' imaginations: accommodation for humans.
The park has over 100 hotel rooms in the grounds – some of which share scenic windows with neighbouring animals.
