Play Areas for Luxury Hotels: Designing Premium Family Experiences

Luxury travel is evolving. Increasingly, families expect hotels to offer not only stunning interiors and world-class service but also exceptional facilities for children. At Tigerplay, we specialise in designing bespoke play areas for luxury hotels, ensuring that family-friendly doesn't mean compromising on elegance.

Whether you're a boutique retreat or a five-star resort, our play areas are designed to align with your brand, delight young guests, and offer moments of calm for parents.

Why Luxury Hotels Need Play Areas

Families need destinations that cater to everyone. Parents want rest and relaxation, while children need stimulation and space to play. By offering thoughtfully designed play areas, luxury hotels can:

  • Improve guest satisfaction and reviews

  • Increase dwell time and return bookings

  • Create memorable experiences for the entire family

  • Show a genuine commitment to inclusivity and family wellbeing

Bespoke Play Area Design That Matches Your Brand

Our team delivers tailored play area solutions that complement the high-end design of your property. Each project is approached individually, with careful attention to architectural features, finishes, and hotel aesthetics.

We create spaces that feel as curated and premium as the rest of your hotel — integrating refined materials, elegant colour palettes, and interactive features that entertain and educate.

Whether you're aiming for a nature-inspired retreat or something culturally themed, our designers work with you to bring your vision to life.

Play Area Installation with Precision and Care

We’ve installed luxury play spaces across the UK, including within listed buildings and heritage sites. Our installation team understands the importance of discretion, craftsmanship, and attention to detail. We're also Safe Contractor registered and members of RoSPA, ensuring the highest safety standards from start to finish.

Creating Versatile, Multi-Age Spaces

Our play areas are designed for versatility. Many of our hotel clients want a space that can function not only as a playroom but also as a venue for private events, workshops, or kids’ clubs. We plan layouts that:

  • Cater to toddlers, children, and teens

  • Include reading or quiet zones for parents and carers

  • Support safe supervision through open visibility

  • Offer flexible usage beyond standard play

Accessibility and Inclusivity at the Heart

Inclusivity is a core focus of our designs. We incorporate:

  • Sensory lighting and calm zones

  • Accessible pathways and seating

  • Equipment suitable for a range of physical abilities

We also design quiet play areas that help children regulate, giving parents the peace of mind to relax. You can learn more about our sensory design here.

  • Ongoing maintenance packages

  • Deep cleaning services

  • Warranty and post-installation support

You can be confident your play area stays as pristine and impressive as the rest of your hotel.
