Stay in the UK's first Moomin-themed rooms at Hilton London Bankside this summer

Check into the UK's first Moomin-themed hotel rooms

Experience the UK's first-ever Moomin hotel London takeover at Hilton London Bankside, where families can immerse themselves in the enchanting world of the Moomins for a limited time until the end of October 2026.

The hotel's two immersive Moomin-themed rooms include a Moomin Suite and King Family Room, inspired by Tove Jansson's 1948 novel Finn Family Moomintroll. Thoughtfully transformed with bespoke decor, playful details and cosy touches, they offer a unique stay for guests of all ages.

As soon as I stepped into the enchanting Moomin-themed room, I was captivated by the incredible attention to detail. Every corner was thoughtfully designed, bringing the magical world of the Moomins to life.

From the charming touches in the bathroom to the carefully selected books and delightful treats laid out on the table, every element felt thoughtfully curated. The room struck the perfect balance between comfort and character, creating a warm and immersive experience that made me feel as though I had been transported straight into a Moomin story.

With Moomin-themed furnishings, books and games, the rooms are perfect for families during the school holidays. I recommend this memorable Moomin London experience for families looking to step into the storybook world of these much-loved characters.

Enjoy a Moomin-inspired brunch

Tempt your taste buds with a delightful Moomin brunch London experience at OXBO Bankside, where dishes inspired by the beloved Moomin characters bring a touch of storybook magic to the table.

With special character appearances on selected dates, I recommend making this family-friendly dining experience part of your Moomin London adventure at Hilton London Bankside, whether you're staying overnight or visiting for the day.

Discover even more Moomin magic with a dedicated craft corner in the hotel lobby, filled with themed games, colouring, books and hands-on activities. These thoughtful touches offer memorable moments for little ones and nostalgic fun for grown-up Moomin fans too.

As a family-friendly hotel near South Bank, it's perfectly placed for enjoying some of the best family-friendly things to do near Hilton Bankside, from riverside adventures and cultural attractions to family favourites across central London. The hotel is one of the few Hilton properties in London with a swimming pool, making it an ideal choice for families looking to relax and unwind after a day exploring the city.
