In partnership with the iconic store, we offer families staying in our suites the opportunity to have the entire toy emporium all to themselves for a private shopping experience. You can peruse the shelves away from the hustle and bustle of the crowds and delight in your child discovering their new favourite toy.
London Bonanza
This exciting half-day tour gets kids up close and personal with London’s historical highlights.

Markets, Mayhem and Street Art
Your teenagers will love this introduction to the trendy areas of Brick Lane and Shoreditch as they set off on the trail of street art by the elusive Banksy and D*Face. The tour will weave though East London’s coolest markets and hotspots to witness art made from spray-paints, potatoes and chewing gum.

With its lively festivals, world-renowned galleries and museums, and thriving food scene, Munich is one of Germany’s most culturally rich cities. Sometimes hailed ‘the most northerly city in Italy’, the Bavarian capital is known for its readiness to embrace a Mediterranean lifestyle the moment the sun appears, its appreciation for Italian art and architecture, and its year-round love of Italian cuisine.
There’s something wholly restorative about a Sicilian winter, two words not often paired together. A slower pace of life takes hold, as cool mornings lead into soft, golden afternoons, summer’s haze giving way to fresh breezes and crystal-clear skies. Once a winter secret, now shared as Villa Igiea remains open throughout the season.
A cornerstone of the Florentine Renaissance, and widely considered one of the most influential artists of all time, Sandro Botticelli's legacy continues to impress over half a millennia since his death. His captivating depictions of mythological themes, characterised by graceful lines and pale hues, have inspired generations of creators across art, film, and fashion. Today, along the walls of the Botticelli rooms within the Uffizi Gallery, crowds queue ten-deep just to catch a glimpse of his most iconic works, The Birth of Venus and La Primavera.
