TOKYO —

If you’re melting in Tokyo this summer, head over to Hilton to try its “Cool Summer in the City” plan. The Shinjuku hotel is offering special plans through Aug 31, including a sumptuous buffet, culinary and kid’s cooking experiences, and great family stays. Moms can relax and feast on the gastronomic delights while their children play at the Kids Activity Area at the Marble Lounge, try more than 100 ultimate combinations of pasta at Checkers for lunch, or tempting Fruit Dessert Promotion for afternoon tea. Toys are available for kids aged 4-10.

Another great deal for children under 10 is a free lunch buffet at both Marble Lounge and Checkers. Adding to the fun, Checkers has set up a “Make Your Pizza!” corner for children to create their own pizzas. Chef’s hat and a kids’ cocktail will also be offered. Going beyond summer, if you wish to stay at the hotel with your kids, try the “My Little Hilton” program, which includes a whole host of benefits such as a free stay, free meals for kids and more for family guests. For example, children under the age of 18 can stay for free when sharing your room, while children up to the age of 10 can eat and drink for free at each restaurant. Baby-sitting service can be arranged, too.

“My Little Hilton” is applicable to all the Hilton Tokyo’s packages and is available until Dec 31. For more information or to make reservations, visit www.hilton.com
