Looking for a family-friendly hotel in London? Look no further than the Hilton London Metropole! This sprawling hotel offers a fantastic experience for families seeking a memorable city break.
A Grand Entrance and Warm Welcome
Stepping into the Hilton London Metropole, you’re instantly struck by its sheer size. The grand, modern lobby sets the stage for a luxurious stay. Despite its vastness, the hotel offers personal service that would rival a cozy boutique hotel.
Our check-in experience was a highlight for our daughters! They were greeted with warm smiles and given personalized kids packs filled with London-themed activities, including a fun trail to explore. They even had their picture taken with an instant Polaroid camera, adding a special touch to their stay.
Family-Friendly Accommodations and Amenities
Families are assigned rooms in the hotel’s West Wing, ensuring a peaceful retreat. Our stylish Queen Superior Family Room was a haven of space and modern comfort, perfect for a family of four.
The room was equipped with two comfortable queen beds, a large flat-screen TV, air conditioning, a fridge, and an in-room safe. The floor-to-ceiling windows provided stunning views of London, including the iconic Wembley Stadium in the distance.
Of course, no family vacation is complete without a swimming pool and free Wi-Fi. The Hilton London Metropole checks both boxes, ensuring hours of entertainment for children.
Exceptional Service and Comfort
The bathroom was modern and well-equipped, with a generous supply of Crabtree and Evelyn toiletries. We all enjoyed a great night’s sleep on the comfortable beds and woke up refreshed each morning, ready to explore London’s attractions.
The hotel’s executive lounge was a delightful space to relax and recharge, offering complimentary hot drinks and snacks. We particularly enjoyed the afternoon tea, a delightful selection of freshly made sandwiches, cakes, scones, and jam.
Dining Delights for All Ages
Dining at the hotel’s Fiamma Italian restaurant was a treat for the whole family. Kids can join the chefs in making their own authentic Italian pizzas from 5-7 pm each day, a fun and engaging experience. While the pizzas cooked, the girls enjoyed delicious starters of crispy chicken strips and warm carrot batons.
We also enjoyed the delectable main courses, from bruschetta to penne all’arrabbiata and rib-eye steak. For dessert, the girls opted for the tempting chocolate lava cake with ice cream.
The restaurant’s family-friendly atmosphere and complimentary children’s meals make it a wonderful choice for families.
A Breakfast Feast and Fun for Everyone
The breakfast buffet at the Hilton London Metropole is a feast for the senses, offering a wide range of options, from hot cooked breakfast to pastries, yogurt, fruit, and cereals.
Children have their own breakfast kid’s corner with cereals, fruit, and a highlight for the girls – iced doughnuts. The colouring sheets and crayons provided hours of entertainment.
