Rolling around at the Dolder Hotel in Zurich...

Sebastian enjoyed rolling around the big bed at the beautiful Dolder hotel in Zurich today.... before spitting up a bit of his lunch on the very expensive linen:).....we went to visit Sebastian`s favorite Uncle Paul.....and in his true style of "luxury" he was roughing it at the Dolder :)..

We were all excited to spend the afternoon at the spa and Sebastian was dying for a swim in the nice heated pool but in the end.. no can do! They do not accept babies and children under 12 years old. Obviously this is something you do not take note of before having children of your own but now I am finding more and more 5 star hotels do not allow kids under 12. I was recently helping a friend plan a trip to Cape Town and surprised at how many of the nice hotels would not accept children under 12 years old.

There is a website Tots Too http://www.totstoo.com/ which specialize in planning luxury family holidays. Offering special deals and highlighting all the child friendly luxury hotels ...they also give you a detailed list of what each 5 star hotel/resort offers such as sterilizer, high chairs, kids clubs, baby sitting and even if the hotel is stroller friendly. 

But even though we did not make it to the spa in the end we enjoyed a lovely long lunch in the lobby where Sebastian had enough space on the couch to roll around while we enjoyed a delicious club sandwich!! A fabulous day!
