A unique hotel in the Philippines has set a new Guinness World Record for being the world’s largest building shaped like a chicken.

The 10-storey-high rooster hatched at the Campuestohan Highland Resort in Negros Occidental earlier this month.

Measuring 34.931m in height, 12.127m in width and 28.172m in length, the giant chicken hotel has been built to withstand the mountainous municipality’s storms and typhoons.

Guinness World Records officially declared the Campuestohan Highland Resort’s newest structure the “largest building in the shape of a chicken“ on 8 September.

Inside the big bird are 15 windowless hotel rooms featuring “comfortable beds”, TVs and showers, with rates starting at around £60 a night for travellers keen to get cooped up with a chick flick.

From the way it was being spoken about, I expected it to be bigger.

It's cold out.

That’s true, but in that case maybe they should have chosen a different breed.

You can stop there on the way to visiting the Chicken Church in Indonesia.
