TOKYO —

The Oriental Hotel Tokyo Bay has opened its Kiddy Sweet concept rooms after getting requests from mothers who had used their Baby’s Sweet rooms before. The new rooms target families with children whose ages are from 4 to 6.
 
The four room types are Mille-feuille, Chocolat, Éclair and Chiffon, which are named after French sweets. The Baby’s Sweet rooms are named after fruit.

The Kiddy Sweet rooms are designed especially for safety, hygiene and security, and are large enough to allow mothers to relax. There is also an Experience Room for kids on the 12th floor, offering a variety of activities.
 
Room rates for up to five guests range from 15,750 yen to 56,700 yen a night.

    Not stupid at all. Hotels are not kid friendly places. Lots of desks at head height, "stylish" glass topped tables, no running around space in the room etc etc. If hotels want to attract families then having a choice of rooms designed to be kid safe rather than businessman friendly is a very good idea.

    BTW - where does it say anything about dropping the kids off? It would seem to say that Mom is in the room relaxing?

    Of course, my comment about "kid safe" is based on pictures that are too d@@m small to see. JT - can't you make article pictures clickable?

    Great. Go there instead of bringing your screaming kids to nightclubs, and other adult orientated areas... But, honestly, it's called a babysitter, it's a concept that has been sweeping the rest of the world by storm!

    15,000 yen-56,700 yen a night? What a complete rip-off! Anyone who takes their kids for a night there must have money to burn and obviously has never experienced the real world, outside Japan.
