Recommended rooms
The two bedroom apartments have a fully equipped kitchen. All rooms have mini-bars where you can store milk. Children up to three years old can stay for free in their parents' bed; extra beds are £40 a night.
Activities
There are DVD players in every room, and a good selection of child-friendly DVDs to borrow at no extra charge. If you have a lot of kids (or are feeling extravagant), a private screening room is available to hire for £250 an hour. The hotel is filled with striking works of art – children adore the oversized cat sculpture in the lobby created by Fernando Botero.
Meals
Children are welcome in the restaurant for all meals, which will be provided at half price and half the portion size. The Soho hotel can also provide milk and baby food.
Babysitting
This can be arranged for a £10 booking fee; give 24 hours' notice if possible. It costs £9.50 an hour from Monday to Friday, and £11 on Saturdays and Sundays, plus the sitter's transport costs.
Baby-listening
Not available, and monitors don't work well in this hotel because the walls are so thick; you're better off getting a babysitter.
No need to pack
High chairs and cots are provided.
