Upon arrival, younger fans are encouraged to begin their journey by “catching” their own plush lobster at check-in. Pastry Chef Robert Differ will sweeten the arrival with the delivery of a New England sea-life-inspired cookie creation, which will include a personalized “message in a bottle” for each child.
An exclusive “treasure map” of Boston, showcasing concierge recommended “must-visit” kid-friendly destinations throughout the city, will be featured within each unrolled scroll. The quest for treasure will conclude with the discovery of a secret “X that marks the spot,” hidden within the hotel, ready to be found. A selection of child-friendly guestroom amenities including mini bathrobes and slippers will complete this exciting family travel experience.
“This program is designed for families to embark on a personalized self-guided tour of Boston,” said Philipp Knuepfer, General Manager of Mandarin Oriental, Boston. “We wanted to inspire a sense of excitement and exploration as families discover the many historic landmarks and attractions that Boston has to offer and makes this city so unique; float on a swan boat through the Public Garden, dump tea into the Boston Harbor at the Boston Tea Party Ships & Museum or snap a selfie with Mr. & Mrs. Mallard at the Make Way for Ducklings statue, honoring Robert McCloskey's classic Boston-based children's book.”
Throughout each family’s sightseeing and photography expedition, guests are encouraged to capture special moments and share their favorite family photos, posting them to social media, tagging @MO_Boston and using designated hashtags #MOboston and #MOMiniMate.
Mandarin Oriental, Boston’s Mini Mate kids program is available year-round and is complimentary for all the hotel’s young travel guests.
