You don't have to head to a family resort near the beach or up in the mountains to have a family-friendly stay. The big city hotels can be family-friendly too.
Take for instance The James Hotels in Chicago and Soho, New York, which have the lil' james kids amenity program on site. This service offers kids' special food and beverage menus, turndown service with milk and cookies, gear such as cribs, bathtubs (for babies under 24 months) and carseats, along with toys, games and guides to cultural institutions in the city.
And now The James have partnered with Seedling, a creative company that promises fun, hands-on learning for kids through arts, crafts and science projects. As part of the lil' james program, kids will get a special welcome amenity from Seedling, which can range from a complimentary “Citizens of the World Map” actvity set where children color in a giant map and add on stickers for animals and landmarks to the “I'll Write You a Postcard” set, which is exactly what it sounds like.
Seedling will also offer additional items upon request such as: “Design Your Own Yoyo,” “Colour the Earth,” “Illuminate The Night,” “Pocket Box of Party Tricks,” and “Box Kite.” These kits are super cute. Even if you aren't staying at a James Hotel, we recommend ordering one or two up to take along with you on your next trip.
Heading to Chicago or New York? The James Hotels have a lil' james Family Adventurer package which includes four tickets to the Chicago Children’s Museum or two tickets to the Children’s Museum of the Arts in NYC, the milk and cookie turndown service and access to the lil' james amenity program.
