Travelling with children calls for a hotel that makes life easier. The best family-friendly hotels in London go further than bigger rooms. They understand what a family stay really involves, and only those that do made my list.
The hotels in our collection cater to all budgets and family sizes. The range includes five-star suites, connecting rooms, apartment-style accommodations with kitchens, and affordable hotels with family rooms. Many properties feature swimming pools, providing a refreshing break after sightseeing, and many also include thoughtful amenities for young guests.
Location matters just as much. Several hotels are a short walk from Hyde Park or St James's Park. Others sit on the South Bank near the London Eye, and more are close to St Paul's Cathedral, Tate Modern and the Shard.
