'Luxury' family hotels in Europe other than Von Essens?

9 replies

Sixofone · 12/09/2007 22:03

Could anyone recommend any top-end family friendly hotels (pref with creche) in the UK or Europe? We know about the Von Essens, and have been to Calcot Manor, but are looking for (a) short break recommendations in the UK< and (b) we would like to go for our first overseas hol as a family back end of next month.

Any suggestions welcomed, thanks!

Looking for the same, I noticed that someone mentioned the Kinderhotels in Austria a little while ago on this section and I have been to the site and it does sound pretty good but I am yet to check the reviews. i will be watching this thread with you.

almyra in Cyprus is pretty perfect - they supply all the baby gear, airport's half an hour away with direct flights to UK, food from Nobu, best cocktails EVAH, on the beach, all Frette/Starck/Goldfrapp in the lobby. And creche is 8am-6pm

almyra gets a bit of a slating on tripadvisor

If you are not worried about the weather I'd go for www.kinderhotels.co.uk.

I've been saving this one in Tuscany on my favourites and I vow to go one day www.adler-thermae.com/en/hotel-adler-thermae/.

Or how about a Spa resort like this www.balance-resort.at/main.php?PHPSESSID=7e9972b6fc1eeef567aab0b83651be5e&l=en&sub1=1 (sorry, I live in Austria so my fovourites list is a bit biased!). Or one of these www.rogner.com/3080_EN-Rogner.63ECE1621fa1d02e8068f5fe9688af5b1c0eb6e....I could keep going....

oooh, there's some lovely ideas there, thankyou ladies/ gents.

To add to the list, I was chatting to someone at baby group yesterday and they recommended the Sheraton Pinecliffs in the Algarve as being nice and particularly family friendly.

The pinecliffs looks lovely, kids club closes 31 Oct until xmas which is a shame
