Children's check-in experience at The Rubens

Family dining

Children's menus are available in all restaurants, and children under the age of 12 years dine for free from the children's menu when accompanied by a full-paying adult (terms and conditions apply). Children will also enjoy our alcohol-free mocktails, served in The New York Bar (additional fee applies). 

Children’s Afternoon Tea 

We have adapted our traditional Afternoon Tea menu to suit every little prince and princess under 12 years old. Treats include bite-size sandwiches, selected pastries, and a choice of milkshake, hot chocolate, tea, or soft drink. 

Babysitting

Our guest services team can assist with making babysitting arrangements with our trusted partners, Rockabye Babysitters. This boutique London nanny service offers reasonable prices for their services, which include daytime and evening bookings and 24-hour assistance. Enjoy the best of both worlds – time together as a family along with time alone knowing your children are safe and happy.

Family rooms

Interconnecting

Children under 12 can stay for free when sharing a triple room with their parents. Our accommodations include various interconnecting options; Executive King and Junior Suites are designed for two adults and one child, while our Family Suites and Master Suites can host two adults and up to two children under 12 on rollaway beds. Interconnecting rooms are subject to availability and cannot be booked online.

Family wings

We understand that families like to stay together, but not necessarily in the same room. We offer a number of 'family wings' which consist of rooms interconnecting via one private central door. We have 10 family wing combinations for between four and 11 guests. Family wings are subject to availability and cannot be booked online.
