"Best for: lots of little treats Closest tube station: Green Park This historical-yet-fresh hotel in the plush thickets of Mayfair feels like an intimate and rather splendid townhouse, courtesy of Olga Polizzi's home-from-home makeover. The top-notch service is a constant reminder of the five-star setting, one which welcomes children with presents (including milk and cookies with a monkey teddy turndown service) and swiftly assists parents with babysitting requests. Tasty organic meals can be whipped up for tiny tots, while whimsical and soft comforts are on hand thanks to the hotel's partnership with DockATot—think plush baskets and play tents in smart William Morris prints. Little guests will even get to take home their own Albemarle, also known as Alby, the hotel's charming and cheeky monkey toy crafted by Plaay from solid oak. And as for story time, well Rudyard Kipling wrote the final chapters of Jungle Book here, so reading the beguiling tale to children at least once while under Brown’s roof feels mandatory." - Rosalyn Wikeley
