Cute, cuddly but not always easy to travel with, Cordis, Hong Kong’s Little People concept promises loads of fun for kids and pain-free travel for parents.
The programme includes disaster-averters (think diapers and baby sunscreen), reduced-baggage travel, a toy library, kid-coupons, Little People robes and slippers plus a rucksack of goodies to take-away.
“As a brand we’re all about having fun and entertaining our guests, not just accommodating them, we focus a lot on entertaining adults and we thought it was time we showed our appreciation of little people in the same way,”
Shaun Campbell, General Manager of Cordis, Hong Kong
On arrival all Little People receive a complimentary rucksack with a cap, sunglasses, a stationary set and an entertainment book. The 60 page book includes recipes from the hotel’s chefs, colouring pages, puzzles, quizzes and coupons that can be presented to staff for surprise gifts and ice-cream.
Kids also dine half price at the hotel’s buffet restaurant The Place and enjoy free access to a vast library of toys to enjoy throughout the stay.
Hotel staff’s Little People sport their new robes (L-R: Yik Lam and Yik Ling – daughters of assistant F&B manager Andy Lau, Alegra – daughter of general manager Shaun Campbell, Chay – son of executive housekeeper Jimmy Lo)
Keeping things easy for parents, the hotel carries strollers, baby baths, booster seats, bottle sterilisers and disaster-averters such as diapers, baby panadol and baby insect repellant.
There is no cost to use any of the Little People facilities however advanced notice of any special equipment required is recommended to ensure availability.
