Beat boredom this summer and visit Jumeirah London for the ultimate in family fun!

Tuesday, August 17th, 2010

This summer head to London’s Jumeirah hotels for a luxurious 5* child-friendly minibreak
where you can enjoy central locations and stunning facilities, and your kids are
treated to mini bathrobes, slippers, a cuddly toy and even cookies with milk at bedtime.

From visits to London’s landmarks to dining experiences and exhilarating boat rides up
the Thames, the Kids’ Concierge is on hand to help you plan family days out, and even
hold the key to a secret playground hidden in Cadogan Gardens! And while your kids are
discovering London’s hidden gems, you might like to check into the Jumeirah Carlton
Tower’s
luxurious Peak Health Club and Spa for an indulgent holiday pamper package.
And you can forget about sand in your sun-cream when you take a dip in the hotel’s
striking 20 metre swimming pool – the only thing on your mind will be the memorable
views over London’s skyline.

During warm summer evenings you can enjoy relaxed barbeques on the Terrace of the
Jumeirah Lowndes, or on cooler nights why not feast on a hearty menu of British food at
the renowned Rib Room restaurant at the Jumeirah Carlton Tower. The stylish cocktail
lounge Gilt has a truly divine drinks menu (both alcoholic & non-alcoholic) to really help
you relax once your kids are tucked up in bed.

Embracing family fun, your mini-break can be as exhilarating or relaxing as you choose,
and whether you decide to stay at the luxurious Jumeirah Carlton Tower hotel in
Knightsbridge, or the nearby Jumeirah Lowndes in leafy Belgravia, you can enjoy the
stunning facilities of both Jumeirah hotels.
