Hotels for Babies
The Beverly Hills Hotel & Bungalows, Los Angeles, California, USAThey know how to nurture babies here, in the legendary 'pink palace', with cots with teddy bears to keep, and in-room microwaves for milk-warming. Parents love the hotel's 24-hour gym and the celebrity-watching round the pool and in the Polo Lounge. Next month, by the way, the hotel launches what sounds like a stunning new A-list bar, Bar Nineteen 12, designed by Dianna Wong and Glen Texeira.Visit Property Site |   |
Willard Intercontinental, Washington DC, USAThis historic hotel has a new resident baby, Joy, the weeks-old daughter of GM/VP Hervé Houdré (she loves staying here, everyone says). All babies find their rooms come with cribs, tiny robes, and everything baby might want, from hair and body wash, milk bath, rubber duck, milk and baby-sitters available on demand. Parents will enjoy the new-look Willard Room and afternoon tea in the famous Peacock Alley - and soon the lobby will be decked in fresh cherry blossom, for the annual season. Visit Property Site | |
Four Seasons Resort Nevis, Nevis, CaribbeanFour Seasons Resort Nevis, WI, run by GM Martin Sinclair, has buggy-easy slopes at each step, and baby-changing tables in the washrooms (yes, even the men's). Room service offers puréed fruits and vegetables and carefully-screened babysitters are available. All the blocks of rooms and suites come with communal wash rooms, which your mother will appreciate (and she may then relax with a papaya hot stone massage in the spa, or try the 18-hole Robert Trent Jones II golf course). Your older siblings will love the hotel's Sea Turtle Education program (see www.cccturtle.org). Visit Property Site | |

Arrive here, and there is a wooden crib with linens, quilts and a hanging mobile - and a soft toy and red blanket with embroidered logo to take home. If your parents have forgotten your buggy, the concierge can help, and can also provide interesting walks in the adjacent Hyde Park. Mom can also escape, thanks to a Rockabye Babysitter, to a post-natal or other wellbeing treatment in the spa - and back home she will appreciate the Jo Malone toiletries in the bathroom. GM is Christoph Mares. Visit Property Site | |
Babies of many nations come here (baby-sitters are available in many languages, including German, Russian, Spanish - plus, of course, English and French). The best walks in your buggy are in the adjacent Tuileries gardens. Five minutes' walk away is Baby Tuilerie, for your favorite brands, or your parents might prefer the Bon Point, also nearby. Your room, by the way, comes with a mascot Pistache gift, to take home. GM is Franka Holtmann. Visit Property Site | |

This beach-set hotel is adjacent to the enormous Wild Wadi water park, and guests get free entrance - so your elder siblings will have a whale of a time. For the under-twos, there is entrance, with an adult, to the Sinbad's Kids Club, so you can enjoy nursery songs and getting to know other babies. Your hotel bedroom is kitted out with all you need, for both ends, and a stroller is provided. Babysitters can be booked ahead of time. Heinrich Morio is GM of the hotel, often called 'The Wave' because of its signature shape. Visit Property Site | |
GM/VP Michael Luible has two older kids, and adores babies. You will find your villa has Little Primrose toiletries, PH-balanced and without color additives. A plus for the finances is that all your laundry is free; using a special non-allergenic detergent (your parents pay for their laundry!) For bath time, you have a fish toy, and the baby food range, all organic, is either BabyNat, from England, or produced on-site. Wait a few months, and then resident yoga guru Coco Ryoko Maruno can offer mother and toddler Kundalini sessions, and mom will undoubtedly also head for a memorable Bastien Gonzalez foot treatment.
