The Dorchester is inviting families to make the most of their time in London with special experiences for the whole family. The hotel will create itineraries for children, from cooking classes to a car ride to Buckingham Palace in a classic Rolls Royce, and will keep kids entertained while parents enjoy a sumptuous dinner for two at one of the hotel’s acclaimed restaurants.

 

Other hotel offerings include transforming guestrooms into a luxurious cinema experience, or a camping adventure with tents and treats aplenty. A Children’s Afternoon Tea is available at The Promenade at The Dorchester, featuring milkshakes, sandwiches, cakes and sprinkles. A partnership with Sharky & George helped launch a Kids Club, available 12:30–4 p.m. on Saturdays through August, and including exciting activities to ensure endless fun and games for children.

 

Daily breakfast for the family will set the group up for a day exploring London, and unique in-room amenity options include chocolate chip cookies, Rubber Duckys and robes designed to fit the whole crew.

 

The Dorchester’s Family Time package includes 50 percent off a second room; for families booking a suite, the second room is complimentary. Learn more about the family-friendly offerings.
