More than just family friendly, a stay at one of Le Meridien’s hotels or resorts is an experience to remember. We check out what the Le Meridien Family Program has to offer those of us looking for an imaginative holiday with that little something extra special.
If you’re planning your next family holiday and looking for a hotel or resort that has a more interesting proposition than just “kids eat for free”, step away from the prawn cocktails and read on. Le Méridien has really raised the bar with a thoughtful approach to family holidays. Not just family friendly, their new program is more step-inside-and-kick-your-shoes-off-like-you-own-the-place kind of welcoming. It’s also straight out INSPIRING, with initiatives to help families discover all the goodies a destination has to offer, and an Instagram-worthy Kids Club to boot. Let us take you on a little tour.
First stop: booking the Family Program and checking in. A big feature of this program that will be music to the ears of many parents is the 50% discount on a second room, with the option of booking connecting rooms (subject to availability). Hurrah! A well-rested family is a family who remain on speaking terms! Upon check-in, all little people aged 12 and under are given a complimentary LEGO toy to enjoy during their stay and toddle off home with as a keepsake from their travels. And for travel-weary parents? A complimentary Illy specialty coffee awaits in the lovely, comfy room. Nice touch Le Méridien, nice touch.
Moving onto the truly fun stuff, the holiday proper. The folks at Le Méridien have really thought this through. They operate with the belief that kids are inherently curious and creative, so their aim is to spark every child’s imagination by taking them on a journey of discovery (they even have the hashtag to prove it: #DiscoverTogether). Kids are encouraged to be designers and makers while tinkering away in the beautifully designed Kids Club at resort locations. Make-believers, aspiring inventors, junior culinarians and little culture-seekers will have a ball here, quite possibly having more fun than mum and dad, and doing it in style! All Le Méridien Family Kids Clubs are designed with mid-century modernism in mind, with artwork and styling elements that give us a serious case of kids playroom envy. The clubs also draw inspiration from the local culture, with musical instruments, life-size maps, and snacks that aim to expose kids to local cuisines.
The theme of fuelling curiosity doesn’t end within the hotel’s walls. In fact, Le Méridien Family wants to help you unlock your destination, curating all the local family friendly sights and activities in a complimentary Discovery Guide. The idea is to provide fun for the whole family so that curious travellers, both young and old, can discover new experiences together. There’s even free access to some local cultural attractions. With plenty of hotels and resorts within easy reach of Singapore – Koh Samui, Ho Chi Minh City, Bali and Hong Kong to name a few – there’s absolutely no reason why you shouldn’t be booking your next family holiday right now! And don’t worry, kids do eat for free. If you can drag them away from the Kids Club for long enough.
