Alternatives
Other hotels we have written up that may suit a different brief.
The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences
- Best for
- Longer family stays, self-catering breakfasts, Green Park and families wanting more space than a conventional room.
- Trade-off
- Residence pricing is materially different from the hotel’s entry room categories
A Mayfair hotel-and-residence hybrid for families who value a separate living area, a real kitchen and hotel service more than the lowest central-London rate.
Booking tipPrice the named Residence rather than a standard room, confirm the bunk- or sofa-bed set-up in writing, and ask for adjoining units before paying.
The Langham, London
- Best for
- Marylebone and Regent Street access, family pool time, afternoon tea and classic grand-hotel service.
- Trade-off
- Large hotel scale may feel formal for casual travellers
A Marylebone grand hotel for travellers who want Regent Street access, a large pool and classic London service.
Booking tipCheck the exact room dimensions, confirm interconnecting rooms rather than leaving them as a request, and verify current family swimming times before booking around the pool.
St. Ermin’s Hotel
- Best for
- Families of five or six, Westminster sightseeing and parents who value two bathrooms over a pool or kitchenette.
- Trade-off
- Family layouts are specific categories and can be limited
A Westminster favourite for larger families because named room types publish space for five or six and add a second bathroom—rarely a small detail on a London morning.
Booking tipBook the Family Room or Family Suite by its exact name, match every child to the stated bed set-up, and check whether the day or sofa bed is prepared before arrival.
