One of the joys of parenting three children is the opportunity to spend one-on-one time with each of them. Sure, I could have one-on-one time with just one or two kids, but there’s something truly special about the shift from the lively chaos of three to the serene calm of just one.
Last month, I enjoyed a week in London with my son, Lucas, alongside my mom during spring break. As the youngest, Lucas has always been a pretty relaxed kid. I still remember the sheer delight on his face when I surprised him with new pajamas instead of his siblings’ hand-me-downs. “They match!!!” he exclaimed, much to the amusement of my family.
With hopes high for our trip, I looked forward to a break from the constant sibling squabbles. Thankfully, everything went smoothly, and we all instantly fell in love with London. We were busy taking in shows like Wicked and The Lion King, indulging in far too many petit fours at two delightful afternoon teas, and even managing to squeeze in some shopping. Honestly, dealing with one child’s complaints felt like a breeze compared to the usual chorus of three!
A Standout Hotel Experience
A standout feature of our trip was our hotel, The London Edition. This stunning establishment is a fusion of five Georgian townhouses built in 1835, later combined in 1908, thanks to the collaboration between Ian Schrager, co-founder of Studio 54, and Marriott. Design enthusiasts will find it hard to resist the beautiful aesthetics.
“Wow,” Lucas said the moment we stepped into the lobby. “This place is so cool.” Currently undergoing a home renovation myself, I couldn’t help but jot down ideas and snap photos for inspiration. Just take a look at this bar… not too extravagant for my own home, right?
The dining area is simply breathtaking. I might have indulged in two baths daily during our stay, but the pristine white bathroom was just too tempting to resist. It was a bit tidier than my own bathroom at home!
The staff welcomed us warmly every time we returned, and each evening, we found little treats waiting in our room. It’s those thoughtful details that truly elevate a stay, and I felt like I was in heaven.
A hotel can make or break a trip, and I’m immensely grateful to The London Edition for making ours so special. While we did enjoy a discounted rate during our visit, all opinions expressed here are entirely my own.
