Done well, a family break in one of the most family-friendly hotels in London can be just that—a break. But check into a hotel that hasn’t fine-tuned its facilities or food for children and a long-awaited escape can quickly spin into an expensive nightmare. Every parent knows that there’s nothing worse than treading on eggshells around other guests, so how do top-drawer London hotels factor in little ones without ruining things for everyone else? With tons of first-hand experience, bags of creativity, and an awareness that social taboos around children in luxury hotels are confined to history.
London’s most splendid hotels have fine-tuned their family offerings, harnessing the city’s rich history and culture for multi-age adventures. Snazzy (and invaluable) baby and toddler gear can be requested ahead and refined children’s food is no longer the mashed vegetables of yore. These hotels endeavor to set little ones’ imaginations alight while buying well-deserving parents enough time to be pampered too.
From lavish townhouses with clever, interconnecting rooms to chandeliered grandees with vast pools and eye-popping dessert menus, here are the best family-friendly hotels in London.
