Chiswick is such a perfect area for families and we had such cozy stay at room2 Chiswick.  The stylish rooms are large enough for families and include fully equipped kitchens. The delicious breakfast was a huge highlight and we had so much fun exploring the local foodie spots, vibrant parks, and eclectic shops.  The best part is the are an eco hotel which means the entire property is low carbon, low energy, and zero waste.  A great choice for those wanting to stay in West London.

Hilton London Bankside was a perfect first stop during our trip to London.  The sleek and sophisticated property offers modern luxury in an optimal location.  We loved the comfortable and stylish guestrooms, delicious buffet breakfast and restaurant, and friendly service.  The fully equipped gym and indoor swimming pool were perfect after a day of exploring and we found many of London’s famous sights right on our doorstep.  Make sure to visit the Tate Modern and Borough Market, just a short walk from the hotel, and book connecting rooms if you’re travelling with children.

We love staying with the Chatrium brand who are known for their modern and luxurious serviced apartments and impeccable service.  During our recent trip to Niseko we booked one of the two bedroom suites at their snowy location, Chatrium Niseko, and enjoyed optimal location, friendly service, and five star facilities during our family holiday.  The spacious suites feature two large bedrooms and bathrooms, an open lounge and dining area as well as a fully equipped kitchen.  We loved the private balcony complete with direct views of Mt Yotei, and being within close proximity to Niseko’s main town and ski lifts.  You’ll find a variety of food trucks, local restaurants, and stylish boutiques right on the front step and a free shuttle escorts guests straight to the mountain for world class skiing and snowboarding.  Chatrium also includes underground parking for all guests, ski lockers for each suite, and Michelin star dining on-site.  Grab a coffee each morning in the cozy cafe and stop by the inviting bar for an apres ski cocktail after a long day on the slopes.  We highly recommend this property for families or groups who value space, location, and service while staying in Niseko.

Niseko Hanazono Resort is the ideal mountain for families visiting the world renowned ski destination.  We loved that there were trails for all ages, easy beginner slopes for little ones just starting out, and fun activities for kids outside of skiing and snowboarding.  Stay at the luxurious Park Hyatt where you’ll have direct access to the mountain.  Guests can choose from the sleek and modern gondola which is accessible without skis or the hooded ski lift which takes you to the top of the mountain for spectacular views and a long and fun ride down.  Beginners can hone their skills on the magic carpet and children can sign up for ski school or private lessons which include lunch at the fun filled Galaxy of Kidz.  Our children also loved partaking in snow tubing, playing in the indoor playground and toddler friendly ball pit.  Adventurous children can sign up for a wall climbing session where the engaging team will guide them through a challenging and exciting climb on a variety of courses.  Hanazono currently have a collaboration with Louis Vuitton where you can snap memories beside the monogrammed tents and decorated gondolas as well as shop in the exclusive pop-up shop.  A must visit spot for avid skiers and families visiting Niseko this winter.

Located in Hokkaido’s picturesque onsen town, Jozankei, Chalet Ivy boasts luxury and charm for a relaxing getaway.  We loved the modern and stylish property seeped in Japanese tradition located beside Jozankei’s stunning riverside.  The decadent suites boast spacious lounges and traditional tatami sleeping areas alongside unparalleled views and a healing private onsen.  The hotel’s five star amenities include both indoor and outdoor public onsens, a fully equipped gym, sleek open lounge complete with complimentary local snacks and drinks, and a cozy bar where you can enjoy wine with a view.  The in house restaurant, Zui, is a must for Japanese fine dining using Hokkaido’s best ingredients and we loved the sumptuous Japanese breakfast spread each morning.  Service is friendly and meticulous ensuring guests have a seamless and luxurious stay.  The optimal location is only an hour outside of Sapporo and near all the local sights ensuring an entertaining stay.

Hoshino Resort’s TOMAMU has always been one of our family’s favourite winter destinations.  Located in picturesque Hokkaido, the sprawling five star property boasts world class facilities, delicious and varied dining options, incredible slopes and ski lessons, as well as a plethora of activities to suit all ages.

We stayed in Risonare, the resort’s all suites tower where guests will be treated to a spacious room ideal for families.  We loved the incredible jacuzzi bath with snowy views and gigantic bedrooms and separate lounge.  We could choose from several buffet breakfasts to start our day ranging from gourmet traditional Japanese options to local seafood and classic western.  Our children couldn’t get enough of all the fun activities from swimming in Mina-Mina Beach, Japan’s largest indoor wave pool, to quad bike rides through the stunning scenery, private ski lessons on the adventurous slopes and even a visit to Hoshino’s spectacular Ice Village.

Boasting over 20 restaurants in TOMAMU we loved sampling all the different buffets, local specialities, and even a classic Hokkaido soup curry.  Families will love grilling together at the Jingisukan at Hokkaido Jingisukan KING and Hotalu Street is a fun ski in ski out spot for foodies.  Take the gondola up to the top of the mountain to enjoy a scenic Cloud Walk, admire the Forest of Frost Tree and sample the cloud themed cafe beverages and treats at Kumo Cafe.

We love that Hoshino Resort’s TOMAMU is suitable for all ages and offers winter fun even if you aren’t an avid skier.  If you’re looking for a family friendly winter destination at the heart of Japan’s Hokkaido it’s hard to beat this incredible option.

Asahikawa, located on the picturesque island of Hokkaido, is an amazing winter family destination. Known for its famous Asahiyama Zoo, you’ll have a one of a kind experience visiting polar bears, penguins, and seals in snowy conditions.  We loved staying at OMO7 during our trip and making ourselves at home in the cozy property.  The welcoming staff and interactive lobby area ensures guests have everything they need from a plethora of amenities to a relaxing reading nook and even their QR powered Go Kinjo Map to find the best local hot spots.  If you’re travelling with children or love a zoo theme make sure to check out OMO’s animal dedicated guestrooms.  We were lucky enough to book the Polar Bear Room which was modern, comfortable, and perfectly decorated down to every detail.  Foodie experiences are a must in Asahikawa starting with OMO7’s mouthwatering breakfast buffet.  You can take a tour with an Omo Ranger who will give you tips on all the best eats and historic streets or where to sample the city’s famous ramen and yakitori.  Don’t miss their evening Shime Parfait which was just as impressive in display as it was in taste. After a long day visit the hotel’s traditional Japanese bath for a cultural and tranquil way to end the day.  A perfect city getaway all year round.

We began the festive season with a memorable family getaway thanks to Intercontinental Osaka.  The luxurious hotel set at the heart of the city is the ideal jumping off point for exploring foodie spots, iconic streets, the historic Osaka Castle, and even easy train links to nearby Nara and Kyoto.  We loved our sprawling two bedroom suite complete with 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, a spacious lounge, dining room and kitchen, and spectacular city views.  We had plenty of space for a family of four and the and amenities made travelling with children that much easier.   Other five star facilities included a state of the art fitness center, spa and indoor pool, and mouthwatering dining outlets.  We loved the sprawling breakfast buffet each morning complete with traditional Japanese options, delectable pastries, and made to order eggs.  Service was impeccable throughout our stay and we enjoyed the personal touches that ensured our family felt right at home.  An amazing choice for your family‘s next trip to Osaka.
