Located in Zhuhai, Chimelong Ocean Resort is the world’s largest marine-themed amusement park, featuring three uniquely themed hotels: the luxurious Hengqin Bay Hotel, the European-style Circus Hotel, and the family-friendly Penguin Hotel. Among them, the Penguin Hotel is especially beloved by children, with its cute penguins making guests never want to leave.

The Chimelong Ocean Resort spans a vast area, with boat shuttles available between the park and different hotels. The Penguin Hotel, designed around a polar penguin theme, has a total of 2,000 rooms and is a favorite among families. As you enter the lobby, two large king penguins greet you, delighting children. The area is also decorated with festive Christmas ornaments, adding to its charm.

Beyond the adorable lobby and rooms, the next day you can even have breakfast “with the penguins.” The hotel’s breakfast buffet includes a penguin exhibit where you can get up close to charming species like the Adélie penguin, the chinstrap penguin, and the king penguin—starting your day with their cuteness.

Rooms are divided into themes including Polar Room, Adventure Room, Temperate Room, and Penguin Family Room. Each room is filled with adorable little penguins, and even the toiletries are so cute they’ll make you squeal. The hotel plans to introduce 33 special suites in the future, where every corner features penguins. Smart robot butlers named Xiao Q can control curtains, turn lights on and off, and even read bedtime stories to kids for parents. These suites are set to open for reservations in February next year.
