Making Family Stays a Breeze: Essential Amenities for Children and Baby Guests at Hotels

Travelling with little ones can be both a joy and a handful for families. Hotels that go the extra mile to cater to children and baby guests not only boost guest satisfaction but also build a loyal following. Here’s our guide to what hotels can include to make stays for families with children and babies as smooth as possible.

1. Spacious and Comfortable Accommodation

Room for Everyone:

Families need space for strollers, toys, and all the gear that comes with little ones. Offering larger rooms or family suites with separate sleeping areas can make all the difference.

Connecting Rooms:

Providing the option of connecting rooms lets parents stay close to their children while enjoying a bit of privacy.

Safety First

Make sure rooms are baby-proofed with safety features like corner guards, plug socket covers, and non-slip mats in the bathroom. Ensuring a safe environment is key for peace of mind. Our Hotel White Rubber Bath Mat, which provides excellent grip and reduces the risk of slips and falls at bath time, is especially important for families with young children.

2. Everything for Babies

Cribs and Cots:

Have complimentary cots ready upon request, making sure they meet the latest safety standards. Soft bedding and a comfy mattress are a must. Consider using high-quality options like the Bentley Limea Folding Crib, which comes in four colours—natural, mahogany, black, and white—and includes a mattress and dust cover for easy storage. This crib is not only safe and comfortable but also conveniently foldable for storage.

Baby Monitors:

Providing baby monitors can give parents the peace of mind to relax or enjoy the hotel's amenities while their baby naps.

Changing Stations:

Set up a changing area in the room with a changing table and disposable hygiene bags, making nappy changes a breeze.

Bottle Warmers and Sterilizers:

Offering bottle warmers and sterilizers on request can be a real lifesaver for parents with infants.

3. Fun and Convenient Child-Friendly Features

Welcome Packs:

A small welcome pack with colouring books, crayons, and a soft toy can make little ones feel special and excited about their stay. Check out the Ocean Friends Mega Activity Pack, available in four fun designs: Ocean Friends, Farm, Pirate, and Fairy. These packs are perfect for keeping children entertained during their stay. Additionally, our Fudge Bear makes the perfect cuddly mascot. His bathrobe or jumper can even be personalised with your logo.

Child-Friendly Toiletries:

Stock up on toiletries that are gentle on children's skin, like mild shampoo and body wash. The Dadaumpa Bath Care House Kit makes a perfect addition. This delightful kit comes with gentle bath products designed specifically for children and babies, ensuring their skin stays soft and healthy. The house shaped sponge also makes bath time fun, turning a routine activity into a special experience. The playful packaging can be coloured in too!

Entertainment Galore:

Make sure rooms have plenty of entertainment options, including children’s TV channels, family-friendly movies, and maybe even a game console with age-appropriate games.

Activities to Keep Them Busy:

Offer a range of fun activities, like a kids' club, playground, or organised events. An indoor play area is perfect for rainy days.

4. Tasty and Easy Dining Options

Children's Menu:

Create a children’s menu with healthy, tasty options. Don’t forget to include baby food and purees for the tiniest guests.

High Chairs and Booster Seats:

Make sure high chairs and booster seats are available in all dining areas, so families can enjoy their meals with ease.

Flexible Dining Hours:

Consider offering flexible dining hours or room service to accommodate the varying schedules of families with young children.

5. Extra Conveniences

Laundry Facilities:

Providing access to laundry services or self-service washing machines is a huge help for families with little ones.

Stroller Rentals:

Having strollers available for rent can be a lifesaver for families who prefer not to lug them around.

Babysitting Services:

Reliable babysitting services can give parents a much-needed break, allowing them to enjoy some quiet time together.

6. Health and Safety Support

First Aid Kits:

Keep first aid kits readily available in rooms or at the front desk, and ensure staff are trained to handle minor emergencies.

Local Medical Info:

Provide information on nearby pharmacies, doctors, and hospitals so parents have peace of mind in case of health concerns.

Conclusion

By adding these thoughtful touches, hotels can create a warm, welcoming, and stress-free environment for families traveling with children and babies. These enhancements not only improve the guest experience but also make the hotel a top choice for family travellers. After all, a happy family stay often means repeat visits and glowing recommendations.
