Since all the residences and suites are designed to be a home from home, and have fitted kitchens, they’re all suitable – it’s more a question of how big your family is and how much space you need.
Activities
There are a couple of bicycles to borrow but there are plenty of fun things to do outside your door: popular family attractions include the La Brea Tar Pits, Santa Monica Pier, Graumann’s Chinese Theatre and Warner Brothers Studios. Pinks Hot Dogs or Barneys Beanery are good child-friendly eateries nearby.
Swimming pool
No, although there is a roof terrace for lazy sunny days.
Meals
Since you’ve got your own kitchen, you’re free to indulge your kids’ every crazy Cheerios-with-chips whim. Or just order take-out or dial up room service. Children are welcome in the hotel restaurant, where there are high chairs. Packed lunches can be made, and the kitchen’s happy to heat up milk or baby food for you.
Babysitting
Nannies can be arranged locally, although prices vary depending on availability – ring ahead for details.
No need to pack
There’s plenty of flatware, cutlery and kitchen paraphernalia, so no need to bring special spoons unless you really want to. High chairs and cots are available on site. Kitchens have a microwave and blender, so you can rustle up your own baby food.
Also
A Studio is fine if you’re used to sleeping with your littl'uns beside you, but you might prefer a Suite if you want some undisturbed shut-eye. For maximum comfort with older kids, choose a two- or three-bedroom Residence to give you maximum flexibility and privacy.
