“The last time I went to Brussels was during Christmas; it was very cold but there was bright sunshine. We walked around the Grand Place, where I admired the beautiful houses and the town hall – there was even a horse and carriage! As soon as we got back to Hotel Amigo, we enjoyed a delicious hot chocolate and lots of heavenly cakes. My favourite festive cookie is definitely Speculoos, because they are full of cinnamon and Christmassy spices.
Hotel Amigo is my favourite place to be at Christmas because it has the most beautiful Christmas decorations, lovely flowers and gifts for children. This year, I was given a stuffed owl that I named Snowy.
I particularly enjoy the breakfast at Amigo; it feels like a royal palace with so many delicious foods to choose from and there is even a special children’s table where you can discover the adventures of Tintin. When I’m older, I would like to work in a hotel just like Hotel Amigo because I always have so much fun when I stay there. I love playing with everything in my room and all the special activities for children. Hotel Amigo is a magical place, and everyone there is so nice and friendly – I always feel like a princess!”

In an era where the pace of life seems to accelerate daily, the simple act of walking offers a grounding counterpoint. For families, it’s a way to explore without pressure - to notice what might otherwise be missed: a beautiful view over rooftops or the calm of a sun-dappled path.
Travelling solo with children is a unique kind of adventure - one that blends joy, challenge, and meaningful connection. From choosing the right destination to finding moments of calm, every decision holds more weight when you’re the only adult in the room. At Rocco Forte Hotels, solo-parent travel is approached with care and an understanding of what families really need.
From London’s storied streets to the comic-daubed corners of Brussels, Rocco Forte Hotels offers a collection of suites created with families in mind. Each space is deeply connected to its surroundings, seamlessly integrating custom furnishings, local materials, and subtle references to the culture beyond its walls.
