If you want to spend a few days visiting the zoo, here are the best hotels that Navaway can recommend, and you know us, we only offer the best!
What are the 5 hotels where to spend the night in Beauval?
In the Zoo
1. Les Hauts de Beauval
There is far too much to see and do at Beauval Zoo to spend just one day there. Live the experience to the full, by renting a hotel for 2 or 3 nights, the time to meet every little being there, to get to know some of the biggest mammals, and to learn more about their environment and their way of life.
So let’s start with the Beauval hotel, inspired by African culture, colour and traditional wood. After all, Africa is one of the continents with the most animals of all types! Situated near the village of Saint-Aignan, the hotel’s architecture is inspired by Africa. Lounges, bars, restaurants, bedrooms, bathrooms… Every room and every object transports you thousands of kilometres away. With family or friends, the rooms can accommodate up to 5 people. They are spacious and will make you feel right at home, just as the animals feel right at home! The little extra? A secure play area awaits your little ones!
Budget: from €105 per night
Plus: Bar and restaurant
Journey time: 5 min by car from the zoo

2. Les Pagodes de Beauval
Each hotel offers an immersion in a country or continent which is in fact the birthplace of the animals. This time we’re taking you to China, home of the giant pandas. The hotel plunges you back into the days of old China, where the houses resemble emperors’ fortresses and the roofs are pointed, giving them a certain character and identity of their own.
It’s just a 7-minute walk from the zoo. In each room, you’ll discover a refined décor, with attention to detail: porcelain vases, paintings, hand-carved furniture, statues… it’s almost like being in a museum! When you arrive, tradition dictates that you greet one of the lions at the entrance, and slip your hand into its mouth for good luck later. Don’t worry, these are just fakes – the real ones are waiting for you in the secure zoo!
The hotel “Les Pagodes” is famous for its magnificent flower garden. During your stay, don’t hesitate to take a few minutes for a stroll to admire the traditional statues standing proudly among the trees and flowers. Not far from a playground, the outdoor lagoon pool will have you reaching for your camera!
Budget: from 100 euros per night
Plus: Bar, restaurant and swimming pool
Journey time: 7 minutes’ walk from the zoo

3. Les Rivages de Beauval
Warm colours, food based on fajitas, burritos and tacos, a slightly Latino atmosphere… Doesn’t that remind you of a particular country? Of course it’s Mexico! This is the most recent of all the hotels in the zoo. On the banks of the Cher river in Saint-Aignan, you’ll love sipping a tequila under the typically shady Mexican terrace of this welcoming hotel.
The decor, inspired by Mexican houses, will not leave you indifferent, with brightly coloured walls and graphic motifs, as well as woven armchairs, giving the rooms a festive, energising atmosphere! Some rooms overlook the Cher and can accommodate up to 4 people. With friends, this is one of the hotels that will appeal most for its caliente atmosphere, so don’t hesitate and book now!
Budget: from 95 euros per night
Plus: Bar and 2 restaurants
Journey time: 8 minutes’ walk from the zoo

4. Les Jardins de Beauval
Fancy a little getaway in Indonesia? This Balinese-inspired hotel is perfect for solo travellers looking for a little peace and quiet. Just a 5-minute walk from the zoo, you have to walk along a stream and a green setting to arrive at the gates of “Les Hameaux de Beauval”.
Visitors to this hotel particularly appreciate its gardens, which reflect the flora of Indonesia, with around 40,000 species of flowering plants and 3,000 species of trees. Take the time to meditate in one of the personalised pavilions, then dine on a typically Indonesian culinary speciality, such as traditional fried rice. Inside, the rooms are decorated in marble and wood inspired by the Indonesian islands. A feast for the eyes!
Finally, after a day full of sightseeing and discovery, set aside an hour to yourself in the spa, whose doors are filled with peace and serenity.
Budget: from €135 per night
Plus: Bar, restaurant, pool and spa
How to get there: 5-minute walk from the zoo

Outside the Zoo
5. Les Chambres Lunes
If you’re travelling as a family or a group and prefer to stay outside the zoo, we suggest you rent a suite for four or five people in “Les Chambres de Lunes”. These are very pleasant rooms with a magnificent view over the inner courtyard. If you fancy visiting the surrounding area, you’ll be delighted to know that Montpoupon Castle is just 19 kilometres away, Valencay Castle is 23 kilometres away, and Cheverny Castle is 28 kilometres away.
The rooms, decorated in white with refined furnishings, are all named after the sky, the moon, the stars and the solar system: you’ll find the Grande Ourse Suite, the Neptune Suite and the Pluto Suite. A real treat for astronomy fans!
Budget: from 113 euros per night
Plus: Terrace and parking available
Journey: just 4 kilometres from the zoo
