Some hotels tolerate children; Annaman Hotel designs for them. The family floor runs four five-person themed rooms — Ice-and-Snow childlike, Octonauts study, the 50 m² puzzle-and-play and the space-sports room — plus the duplex LOFT suite with toys downstairs and a child toilet seat upstairs, a kids’ playground in the hotel, and a robot that delivers supper without knocking during nap time. Here is the family game plan as returning guests play it.
Why families keep choosing the Annaman
- Five real sleepers, one room — king, single and sofa bed layouts in the themed rooms; no bunks, no rollaway gymnastics
- Themed rooms children claim — ice-and-snow, Octonauts undersea, puzzles and a space mission, each with a study or play corner
- The humidifier programme — dry radiator-season air held back from check-in, the detail parents call the difference-maker
- Robot delivery, zero knocks — snacks and suppers arrive silently; nap time is sacred
- Kid economics — children under 1.4 m eat breakfast free; under-17s stay free on existing beds; welcome and departure gifts include the small ones
The two memories kids bring home
Ask any child what they remember and the answer arrives in two parts. First, the ice — the frozen Songhua you can walk on, Zhaolin Park’s lanterns, and the Ice and Snow World’s palaces across the river. Second, the room itself: the themed family suites are built for children first, and the robot that brings supper down the corridor outperforms most theme parks for under-tens. One Ctrip reviewer’s verdict on the LOFT: toys waiting downstairs, a fridge for the yoghurts, “the small details were especially heartwarming.”
The logistics, already solved
Arriving families get the treatment reviews praise: luggage carried from car to room, tea and a map while the kids meet the playground, and a front desk that books Ice World tickets and cable-car times as fast as you can say “tomorrow”. Baby cots go by prior arrangement (no extra beds in any room — plan bed counts first); high chairs and children’s favourites show up at breakfast without a request.
Dining with children, without the drama
The breakfast buffet runs 7:00–12:00 — wide enough that fussy eaters find their lane, free for the under-1.4-metre set, with the pan-fried fish slices the grown-ups queue for. Afternoon tea (2:00–4:00, handmade) rescues the 4 PM energy crash, and warm milk arrives at night before the small ones drop. The kids’ playground covers the in-between hours.
