Curator & spatial concepts
Wanderland is a London-based consultancy working on hospitality for children and teenagers. It brings together The Family Suite’s partners and explores how rooms and shared spaces can make room for play, reading and family time. Its illustrated Screenery felt screens create adaptable settings for these experiences.
Screen-free play systems
Wildhood designs screen-free play systems for hospitality spaces, from compact play experiences to furniture for guest rooms and shared areas. Founded by Lisa Takács and Rory Ligthart, it contributes ideas for independent play and family time that can become part of everyday hotel life.
Playful food & drink experiences
Stroodles develops edible tableware and playful food and drink experiences for hospitality. Its contribution explores how activities around the table can make family dining more engaging, with an emphasis on the experience children and adults can share.
Books & reading experiences
Bayard’s children’s books and magazines include Pomme d’Api, J’aime lire and Okapi. Its Cabane à lire offers young guests a place to discover stories and take a quiet reading break. Bayard also has its own exhibitor stand at P7.2–A048.
From a family room to a reading corner: different ways to make space for younger guests.
A wider perspective
What changes when hotels plan the stay with children in mind? Wanderland’s Think Tank explores family rooms, teenage guests, play, cruises and the longer-term relationship between families and hospitality brands.
The report combines published research, company information and Wanderland’s own reviews of hotel websites. Here are two findings to start the conversation.
