From kids’ concierge services to special menus for growing gourmands, some of the capital’s top hotels cater to guests of all ages
A visit to London with the kids can be an exhausting affair but get the hotel right for quality downtime between sightseeing and you’re winning. First up, think where you plan to visit and try to choose a child-friendly hotel in the vicinity – your feet will thank you for it. Other essentials to consider include decent sized family rooms or the ability to get interconnecting rooms. In some hotels kids can eat free, too. To take it up a notch, choose a hotel with a swimming pool.
Many hotels have dedicated children’s packages including toys in the room and child-friendly menus – for room service with a movie? There are even kids’ concierges in the posher hotels to hook your little VIPs up with everything from horse riding in Hyde Park to mocktail making classes. Here’s our guide to the best family hotels in London in areas including Mayfair, Westminster, Victoria and Marylebone.
Every hotel in this curated list has been visited by one of our expert reviewers, who are usually hosted on a complimentary basis. They stay for a minimum of one night, test at least one meal and trial other experiences that the hotel might have to offer.

Stay close to the attractions you want to visit. Find a hotel in Kensington for easy access to the Natural History Museum and Science Museum, for example. Stay near Waterloo for the London Eye, London Dungeon and Sea Life London Aquarium, and check into a hotel near Baker Street for Madame Tussauds, the Sherlock Holmes Museum and London Zoo.
At most of the hotels above, a room for two adults and two children during school holidays costs between £500 and £700. At the top end, however, a family suite will cost approximately £3,000. At each hotel, prices can vary significantly depending on demand.
