Many hotel brands are unveiling packages for kids to celebrate the “family month” of May.
The Seoul Marriott Executive Apartments has come up with the “Kids Park Package” and the Sheraton Seoul D Cube City Hotel is offering the “Kids to Go” catering service for parents who are looking forward to providing an unforgettable memory for their children.
The Lotte Hotel Jeju has also unveiled the “Kids Camp Package” to give families truly memorable occasions.
The Marriott says the Kids Park Package features a variety of benefits.

It offers a one night stay at a studio room, a one-bedroom apartment or a one bedroom suite along with complimentary breakfast for three at Park Cafe -- two adults and one child aged 12 or below -- and a picnic box comprised of a Marriott burger or club sandwich and two soft drinks. Guests also have free internet service in their rooms.
“The package also includes a special giveaway, or a picnic mat allowing all guests to enjoy their picnic boxes by the Han River in Yeouido,” said a spokeswoman of the hotel.
The package price starts from 267,000 won ($250).
Sheraton's catering service is tailored for those who plan a birthday party or a child party at school for their children.
“Sheraton Seoul D Cube City Hotel's chefs have created and prepared a special menu ideally suited for 10 children,” said a marketing specialist of the hotel.

According to her, there are seven options on the menu: three cold dishes, three hot dishes and one dessert among 20 different kinds of selections that include cajun chicken salad, sandwiches, fried shrimp, margherita pizza and mini cake.
“Each item is neatly packed in a take-out box that can be picked up at the hotel,” the official added.
The price for the catering service is 160,000 won, while an additional charge allows parents to order extra meals.
Sheraton offers quick delivery within Seoul and the service will be available until the end of the year.
Lotte will offer the package for children until April 30 as more people plan to visit Jeju Island this month in advance of May to avoid the many holidays such as Labor Day on May 1, Children's Day on May 5 and Buddha's Birthday on May 22.
The package starting from 400,000 won per night features a deluxe lake family twin room, breakfast for three, a free minibar and a signature green tea ice shave. If a guest stays for two days or more, Lotte offers a free pizza set and a free coupon for its children's camp, or active and creative entertainment (ACE) program.
Under the popular ACE program, children can cook pizzas and cookies, while touring a tangerine farm. According to Lotte, many visit Jeju for the program.
