Christmas is an intrinsically family oriented time of the year, and there’s something even more magical about it when seen through the eyes of children. Allowing you to make the most of all the joy without the hassle of cooking and clearing up afterwards, many prefer the luxury of a hotel getaway, but for it to feel truly festive it has to be the right place. When choosing family friendly hotels for Christmas, we looked for the destinations that really brought the festive season to life to children as well as parents. Naturally, that means wonderful food, but also mesmerising locations, plenty for children to see and do, space to get outside and the opportunity to enjoy a convivial environment but also time for yourself as a family as well. So from spa treatments to treehouse suites, swimming pools to sumptuous dinners, here are our favourite family friendly hotels for Christmas.
