Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve, Aldington Road, Lympne, Hythe, Kent, CT21 4PD

Port Lympne Hotel & Reserve is the UK’s first conservation hotel & reserve. Once the opulent country estate of Sir Phillip Sassoon, Port Lympne’s 600 acres of private parkland is now home to more than 900 endangered animals including: the largest herd of black rhino in the UK, western lowland gorillas, European brown bears, tigers, lions, leopards and so much more. The park is now the only collection in Europe where guests can meet three different species of rhino: southern white, eastern black and Indian. The park supports wildlife conservation charity, The Aspinall Foundation, in protecting and releasing animals back into the wild.
