Where to throw a party for your three-year-old?

My Hotel is not only the favourite London resort for once-upon-a-time residentials, it's also the number one spot for Chelsea mums throwing a party for their three-year-olds. Yesterday it was Céline's turn. On the ground floor that is. The lower ground floor was occupied by Adam and his four-year-old friends. Professional children entertainers with cars full of balloons, toys and sweets parked outside the hotel. Girls dressed up to their teeth in pretty dresses, tailored shoes and curly hair. Singing, dancing, cakes and what have you. A gentle question at the reception confirmed that this is the normal activity at the weekends. Always fully booked and I woudn't be surprised if you have to book the venue years in advance to make sure you get it. Especially if you want to make sure you get the bar area at the ground floor.

Fantastic for the little ones. Less so for the post-shopping crowd who wanted to relax with a glass of wine in the bar. Note to self: next time at My Hotel, remember not to return to the hotel before five thirty.
