It’s not often that a hotel room feels like a destination, but after our stay in the spacious, family friendly Kids Sensory Suite at the Omni Mandalay near Dallas I can honestly say I couldn’t wait for my family to return to our hotel room!

Designed with Kids in Mind

Kid Friendly Furnishings and Decorating

The Kids Sensory Suite is a massive two room corner suite on the 23rd floor of the Omni Mandalay in Los Colinas.  Connected to the adjoining King Suite via interior door, the Kids Suite features kid friendly decor in shaeds of pale greens and blues.  The twin beds are covered in stuffed animals and toys wait in a bin near the tv.  Plenty of open space is available for play near the comfortable denim covered couch and chair.  A mosaic of dry erase boards and chalk boards cover one wall and the desk features a roll of paper, perfect for artistic creations.

The Kids Suite has its own full bathroom and special kids towels- full body green frogs- which make bath time extra fun.  The nightly delivery of milk and cookies, along with the Omni Kids Packs, make this hotel room the complete package for kids. Read More »
