The unique hotel called Walrus House, located at the Pairi Daiza resort in Belgium, allows guests to look straight through large glass windows into swimming pools of walruses, polar bears, and giant hippos.

Pairi Daiza is a resort and zoo in the city of Bruglette, Hainaut province, Belgium. The resort recently posted a short clip of a room with glass walls that allows young guests to rest and play with walruses.

This special room is called the Walrus House. It is a suite connected to the resort's "Land of the Cold" zoo area.

The transparent glass separating the suites and the pool is cleaned daily by staff to ensure the clearest view. According to Mathieu Goedefroy, a resort representative, "If there is anything we don't offer our guests, it's privacy," when animals often visit.

The resort has a variety of rooms from luxury lodges, high-end suites and regular rooms but with glass doors overlooking the habitats of bears, wolves, penguins, Siberian tigers, deer, Steller sea lions... creating the feeling of a giant TV frame. These suites actually help the animals' lives become more lively as they interact and observe the guests in the room.

The underwater suites at the Land of the Cold zoo are special because they allow guests to watch giant walruses and polar bears swimming.
