"The idea of a zoo hotel — not located near a zoo, but actually on the grounds of one — is something of a novelty. It’s particularly noteworthy when the zoo in question is considered one of the best in the world. The Wildlife Retreat at Taronga is located inside Taronga Zoo Sydney, and when front desk staff mention that it’s possible to wake up to a kangaroo hopping by or a koala clinging to a tree outside your window, they’re not exaggerating — and every stay comes with a two-day admission and a guided afternoon tour of the sanctuary." - Tablet Hotels
