A Look Inside: Luxury Hotels Redefining Family Stays
Discover how luxury hotels are highlighting their property’s unique story and surroundings through thoughtfully customised kids’ activity books.
The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore
Designed to immerse young guests in the hotel's rich heritage, the bespoke children's activity book features interactive activities that highlight the property's luxurious colonial-era architecture, its storied past—including the Capitol Theatre's history—and Singapore's cultural evolution.
Children engage with the hotel's unique elements through colouring pages, puzzles and games that celebrate local history, iconic hotel ambassadors like the Ladies in Red and culinary experiences from the hotel's restaurants. This thoughtfully crafted publication transforms a family stay into an educational and memorable journey through Singapore's vibrant past and the hotel's distinguished legacy.
Grand Hyatt Singapore
Reflecting the hotel’s unique theme of city living meets mindful retreat, the book introduces young guests to wellness through playful, enriching activities that promote mindfulness and healthy habits. Set against the backdrop of the hotel's lush garden spaces and wellness-focused amenities, it features mindful colouring pages, nature-inspired puzzles and relaxation-themed challenges.
Children can explore healthy eating with games like fruit and vegetable bingo and design their own pizzas inspired by the hotel’s Italian restaurant. Local culture also takes centre stage, with creative activities like decoding common local phrases and designing tiffin carriers influenced by Peranakan heritage—encouraging kids to connect meaningfully with both place and self.
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore / The Fullerton Bay Hotel Singapore
This bespoke publication designed to immerse young guests staying at the two hotels located in the historic Fullerton Heritage Precinct. Through engaging puzzles, creative challenges and interactive activities, children explore the historical significance of these iconic landmarks, such as the hotel's origins as Singapore's General Post Office and the role of Clifford Pier as a gateway for traders and immigrants.
The book also features activities highlighting nearby attractions like the Merlion statue and the Singapore River's bumboats, fostering a deeper connection to the surrounding heritage district. By combining storytelling with hands-on engagement, this activity book transforms history into a creative adventure, offering young guests a memorable and educational experience during their stay.
W Singapore
This 24-page bespoke activity book seamlessly blends the hotel's contemporary art collection with the vibrant surroundings of Sentosa Island, offering young guests an immersive and creative experience. Children can engage in activities such as colouring iconic sculptures like Matin, the hotel's beloved bronze dog by Italian artist Corda Mauro and participating in a "spot the odd one out" challenge inspired by the gold Bon Bon sculpture by Laurence Jenkell.
The book also encourages exploration beyond the hotel, featuring activities like beach bingo and wildlife spotting checklists that highlight Sentosa's natural beauty. Through art, play and discovery, Go Play transforms a family stay at W Singapore into an unforgettable adventure.
Shangri-La Rasa Sentosa, Singapore
Created to enrich family stays at Singapore’s only beachfront resort, this bespoke activity book invites young guests to explore the tropical surroundings through thoughtfully curated experiences. Guided by the resort’s friendly ambassadors, Toots and Daria, children are encouraged to engage with the vibrant setting through playful activities like spot-the-difference, poolside bingo, and a “Rate the Slides” game.
A child-friendly way-finding map sparks curiosity and exploration, while creative tasks like colouring resident peacocks and matching local attractions introduce kids to the surrounding wildlife and culture. Blending adventure, learning and imagination, this bespoke activity book turns a family holiday into a joyful, place-based experience to remember.
Why It Works: Elevating the Family Experience
Bespoke kids’ activity books offer more than entertainment—they create space for connection, discovery and creative moments of joy. While children feel a sense of independence exploring the property as curious adventurers, parents appreciate the thoughtful engagement these books provide, especially during key moments like check-in or breakfast.
For hotels, the impact is both emotional and strategic:
- Tailored Storytelling– Each book reflects the hotel property's unique story, heritage and setting.
- Elevated Guest Experience – Families feel genuinely welcomed, with thoughtful touches that cater to both children and adults.
- Organic Promotion – These beautiful, customised books often feature in family photos, social media posts and travel blogs.
- Keepsakes with Staying Power – Many families bring the books home, turning them into treasured mementos that reinforce brand loyalty long after check-out.
A New Chapter in Luxury Family Hospitality
As luxury hospitality continues to evolve, bespoke kids’ activity books are redefining what it means to create meaningful family experiences. Far more than a simple amenity, they serve as thoughtful expressions of place — inviting young guests into the unique story of each hotel property in a way that is creative, immersive and enduring.
In a competitive landscape where personalisation is paramount, these curated keepsakes offer something truly lasting: a luxurious sense of connection, wonder and belonging—for every generation.
