London Family Suites: Two Bedrooms, Apartments, Connecting Rooms
10 family-friendly hotels with family suite in London . Handpicked for families who want the best.
For a family of four or five in London, a real family suite is one of three layouts: a two-bedroom suite in a large hotel, an apartment with its own kitchen, or two rooms joined by a door. This page sorts the ten hotels it lists by those layouts, for families with babies through to teenagers. The room name alone tells you little: Pestana Chelsea Bridge's official site sells its Deluxe Family room for two adults and one child. The Savoy's Two Bedroom Family Room, at 51 m², takes five in two bedrooms. Across the ten, the average guest score is 8.9 from about 21,000 reviews, and four have an indoor pool. For each hotel I say who sleeps where, and where no layout is published.
London's family sights cluster in a few places, and that should decide the address. The Natural History Museum, the Science Museum and the V&A stand together in South Kensington, free to enter, with Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens to the north. The Strand and Covent Garden put the West End theatres and the river within walking distance. Battersea Park, south of the Thames, has playgrounds and a children's zoo. Many central Tube stations have long stairs and no lift, so sleeping close to your main sights saves more energy than a bigger room.

🛏️Do you need two bedrooms or a kitchen in London?
London wears children out: a day at the South Kensington museums means long Tube corridors, stairs and crowds, and most under-tens are asleep soon after dinner. In a single family room, the parents' evening ends at the same moment. A second bedroom with its own door, a connecting room or a kitchen for a quiet supper is what makes a week here work, so read each hotel's own room pages: 1 Craven Hill Gardens publishes no layout at all.
The Savoy spells out its family layout on its own site. Its Two Bedroom Family Room, 51 m², has a king bed in one room and two double beds in the other, for up to five guests, so a family of five sleeps without an extra bed, and two older children each get a double bed of their own. Interconnecting rooms and cots are also offered. The hotel stands on the Strand, a short walk from Covent Garden and the Thames, and has an indoor pool. It scores 9.4 from 2,100 reviews. It is the wrong choice for families who want to cook: there is no kitchen in the room.
Cheval Harrington Court is the apartment answer, on Harrington Road in South Kensington, about 340 m from the Natural History Museum as the crow flies. Every apartment has a kitchen or kitchenette, and the two-bedroom apartments have a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher and washer-dryer. Cheval's brochure gives the two-bedrooms a maximum of four guests, and the three-bedroom apartment, on an upper floor, is only let for three months or more. South Kensington station, a short walk away, has the Piccadilly, District and Circle lines. A family of five should look at The Savoy instead. It scores 9.4 from 240 reviews.
Pestana Chelsea Bridge needs careful reading. The hotel's own site sells its Deluxe Family room for two adults and one child, while some booking platforms sell the same room for two adults and two children with a sofa bed. The Signature Two Bedroom Suite, which the hotel sells for four guests, is the layout with two separate bedrooms. The hotel sits at the Chelsea Bridge corner of Battersea Park, with its playgrounds and children's zoo on foot, and has an indoor pool and a spa. It scores 8.4 from 3,400 reviews, and it is the only one of the ten south of the river.
Riu Plaza London Victoria is the practical base for getting around: Victoria station, a short walk away, has the Victoria, Circle and District lines and the Gatwick Express. Riu gives its Family Junior Suite 35 m², ample space for the whole family, a safe, a small fridge and a kettle, but publishes neither a floor plan nor a maximum occupancy, so ask in writing whether a door separates the beds. It scores 8.6 from 2,200 reviews. Corinthia, on Whitehall near Embankment, works through connecting rooms and junior suites rather than a dedicated family suite, and its ESPA spa has an indoor pool. It scores 9.3 from 1,450 reviews.
The Peninsula London and Egerton House share the top score of the ten, 9.5. The Peninsula, at Hyde Park Corner, opened in 2023 and offers connecting rooms for four or more guests, babysitting and a 25 m indoor pool, the best rainy-day card here for school-age children; it has 380 reviews. Egerton House is a Knightsbridge townhouse of 28 rooms and suites, about 850 m from the Natural History Museum, with 410 reviews. Its family combinations take four or five guests, but the two rooms are linked by a private hallway door, not an internal one.
Three hotels on this page suit families who need enough beds rather than a suite. Strand Palace, with 788 rooms on the Strand, scores 8.5 from 8,800 reviews, the most reviewed of the ten, and has family rooms and connecting rooms, but no two-bedroom suite on its site. The Premier Notting Hill, near Portobello Road, has interconnecting rooms, and guests often describe the rooms as small; its 8.0 from 1,400 reviews is the lowest score here. 1 Craven Hill Gardens in Bayswater, about 600 m from Paddington, publishes no floor plan of its apartments, so I cannot say who sleeps where.
Parent's take
I would choose the layout before the neighbourhood. For a family of five on a short break, I would book The Savoy's Two Bedroom Family Room: two real bedrooms, a bed for everyone and Covent Garden on foot. For a week with toddlers, I would take a two-bedroom apartment at Cheval Harrington Court for the kitchen and the museums at the end of the road, as long as we are four. With school-age children and a wet forecast, The Peninsula's pool tips the balance. I would not book Strand Palace or The Premier Notting Hill expecting a suite: they suit families who only need a room with enough beds.
Our Top 10 Picks
Hotels in London with family suite, sorted by guest rating.
The Peninsula London
Belgravia, Westminster
Wonderful
380 reviews
A Grosvenor Place flagship that opened in 2023 with serious resources for families with babies. Cots arrive with fitted Frette sheets, baby bath kits and a sterilising kettle come standard, and the door staff handle prams with industrial efficiency. Rooms are some of the largest in London for the price tier.
From
£1250/night
Why families love The Peninsula London
We tested this with a 14-month-old and the staff response was the most careful we've had in any London hotel. The cot setup was done before we entered the room, with a baby bath, a small step stool and a request form for nappies in our size. Lift access from any wing to the front door means a pram fits without the usual narrow-corridor dance. The breakfast room takes babies happily.
Egerton House
Knightsbridge
Wonderful
410 reviews
A 28-room townhouse hotel two streets back from Harrods, run on a butler-style residential model. Cots and baby kits arrive promptly but the building is a Victorian conversion: stairs, narrow corridors, no big lifts. Wonderful for a small baby in a sling, harder with a side-by-side pram.
From
£720/night
Why families love Egerton House
The hotel that felt most like staying with extremely posh friends. The 24-hour butler service meant a sterilising kettle appeared at 11pm without phoning twice. Knightsbridge with a baby is calm and walkable; Hyde Park gates are 6 minutes on foot. Worth flagging: ours was a small first-floor room and we squeezed; ask for a second-floor room with the cot already set up.
The Savoy
Strand, Covent Garden
Wonderful
2,100 reviews
The Savoy's family programme is more substantial than the gilded reputation suggests. Cot, baby bath, monitor, bottle steriliser and child-sized robe arrive on request. Rooms with Thames views are tight on pram space; pick a courtyard-facing junior suite if your buggy is wide.
From
£980/night
Why families love The Savoy
I would book The Savoy for families who want a London landmark that takes babies seriously. On request, the hotel provides a cot, baby bath, monitor, bottle steriliser and a child-sized robe, so you can travel lighter. Rooms with Thames views are tight on pram space, so a courtyard-facing junior suite suits families with a wide buggy. There is an indoor pool, a spa, family afternoon tea and the West End theatres within walking distance of the Strand. Guests rate it 9.4 from 2,100 reviews.
Cheval Harrington Court at South Kensington
South Kensington
Wonderful
240 reviews
A serviced-apartment building 200 metres from South Kensington Tube and 5 minutes' walk from the Natural History Museum. One- and two-bedroom apartments with full kitchens, washer-dryers, and dishwashers. For families with babies this is closer to a home base than a hotel, which most parents prefer.
From
£380/night
Why families love Cheval Harrington Court at South Kensington
We chose this for a 6-night stay with a 4-month-old and it changed our holiday. Sterilising bottles in our own kitchen, throwing the bibs in the washer, having a separate room for the baby to nap in: all of it. The Harrington Court is older and less polished than the newer Cheval buildings, but the apartments are huge and Kensington is the easiest London neighbourhood with a baby. Daily housekeeping included.
Corinthia London
Whitehall, Westminster
Wonderful
1,450 reviews
Edwardian grand hotel between Embankment and Trafalgar Square with one of London's better baby setups. The ESPA spa has a children's pool slot at certain hours, junior suites have separate sleeping areas which keep cots out of the main bed path, and the staff pre-stock the room with bottles, baby food and nappies on request.
From
£880/night
Why families love Corinthia London
I would choose Corinthia London for parents with a baby who want a grand central base. This Edwardian hotel between Embankment and Trafalgar Square has one of London's better baby setups: junior suites have a separate sleeping area that keeps the cot out of the main bed path, and staff pre-stock bottles, baby food and nappies on request. The ESPA spa has a children's pool slot at certain hours, and step-free Tube access is nearby.
Riu Plaza London Victoria
Victoria
Excellent
2,200 reviews
Riu Plaza Victoria is a modern 4-star a few blocks from Victoria Station, built with large rooms by London standards. The hotel offers specific family suites with separate sleeping areas and sofa beds, plus a kids menu in the restaurant that isn't just chicken nuggets.
From
£699/night
Why families love Riu Plaza London Victoria
Riu Plaza gets consistent praise from families for two reasons: the room size is genuinely generous for central London, and Victoria Station is a three-minute walk which matters when a kid needs a toilet or a nap right now. The restaurant breakfast gets mixed reviews on food quality but strong marks for how staff handle families, which matters more than you'd think on day one of a trip.
Strand Palace
Strand and Covent Garden
Excellent
8,800 reviews
Strand Palace is a big central London hotel on the Strand with family rooms sleeping up to four and a few family suites with a living area. The location is prime for families who want to walk to the major sights, with Covent Garden, the river, and West End theatres all in easy reach.
From
£379/night
Why families love Strand Palace
Strand Palace is the obvious choice for families who want to walk everywhere in London. Parents consistently mention the location as the single biggest factor, because you can theatre-trip, lunch at Covent Garden, and be back for a nap without touching the Tube. The family rooms are comfortable without being special, and the breakfast is busy but functional when you need calories in tired kids fast.
1 Craven Hill Gardens
Bayswater
Very Good
620 reviews
1 Craven Hill Gardens is a serviced-apartment property in Bayswater with full 1 and 2-bedroom apartments for families. Each unit has a proper kitchen, washer-dryer, and separate bedrooms, which turns a London week into something manageable with kids under ten who nap at different hours.
From
£185/night
Why families love 1 Craven Hill Gardens
The apartments at Craven Hill Gardens are the pick for families staying four nights or more because the maths starts to work. Parents praise the kitchen for handling breakfasts and the occasional pasta dinner, the washer-dryer for keeping up with kid clothes mid-trip, and the quiet Bayswater street for genuinely restful sleep. Paddington and Hyde Park are both walkable, which unlocks half the West London family playbook fast.
Pestana Chelsea Bridge Hotel & SPA
Battersea and Chelsea
Very Good
3,400 reviews
Pestana Chelsea Bridge is a 4-star hotel overlooking Battersea Park with properly sized family rooms, interconnecting options, and a small indoor pool. Room configurations include family suites that fit four comfortably, which is rare in central London at this price point.
From
£401/night
Why families love Pestana Chelsea Bridge Hotel & SPA
Parents flag Pestana Chelsea Bridge as the rare central London find where a family of four doesn't need to sleep on top of each other. The park-facing rooms are the ones to ask for, because kids can burn off energy before bed in Battersea Park directly opposite. The pool is small but genuinely useable, and the breakfast buffet is generous with the staff being patient when kids change their minds twice.
The Premier Notting Hill
Notting Hill
Very Good
1,400 reviews
The Premier Notting Hill is a boutique 4-star with family room configurations including interconnecting doubles and suites with separate seating areas. The building is a converted townhouse, so rooms vary in size and shape, but the family-configured ones are genuinely comfortable with kids.
From
£263/night
Why families love The Premier Notting Hill
Premier Notting Hill rewards families who want a quieter base than central London but still fast Tube access to the sights. Parents praise the neighbourhood feel, with Portobello Road markets on Saturdays and proper family-friendly cafes five minutes from the front door. The interconnecting rooms are the configuration to book for families with two kids, not the standard family quads which are tighter than the pictures suggest.
💡What to check before booking a family suite in London
- 1Count beds against the occupancy the hotel itself gives: Pestana Chelsea Bridge's own site sells the Deluxe Family room for two adults and one child, even where booking platforms show two children and a sofa bed.
- 2At Cheval Harrington Court, the brochure gives the two-bedroom apartments a maximum of four guests and the three-bedroom apartment is let only for three months or more, so a family of five should not plan on it.
- 3For a family of five, The Savoy's Two Bedroom Family Room has a king bed and two double beds across two rooms, so nobody sleeps on a rollaway bed or a sofa bed.
- 4At Egerton House, the family combinations are two rooms opening onto a shared private hallway door, not an internal connecting door, so with a toddler who wanders at night, ask which pair you will get.
- 5When you book connecting rooms at Corinthia, The Peninsula, Strand Palace or The Premier Notting Hill, have reception name the two room numbers and confirm the internal door: neighbouring rooms on one corridor are a different thing.
- 6Under-11s travel free on the Tube, DLR, Elizabeth line and London Overground with a fare-paying adult, up to four children per adult, so only adults and children of 11 and over need a ticket.
- 7From South Kensington station, the pedestrian subway runs under Exhibition Road to the Natural History Museum, Science Museum and V&A, which keeps children off Cromwell Road traffic and dry on wet days.
- 8At 1 Craven Hill Gardens, ask for the floor plan and the number of beds in writing before paying: no layout of the apartments is published on the web.
