Many people think of the Omni Los Angeles Hotel as primarily catering to business guests and conventioneers, but there are also resort-style amenities for leisure travelers. As part of the Omni Sensational Kids program, children are provided with a complimentary small backpack full of maps, snacks, knick-knacks and crayons. Milk and cookies are sent to the room the first night, too. For the duration of their stay, kids can also borrow a separate, rolly bag with books, games and toys.

The Paintbox program at the Montage Beverly Hills is like camp for kids ages five through 12. It can be purchased in half-day or full-day sessions and includes a meal. Activities take place indoors and out, and each day of the week has its own theme, such as “Hooray for Hollywood” on Saturdays, when children can make their own Walk of Fame-style handprints, compete on mock game shows and have their faces painted or get inked with temporary tattoos.

Who says high tea is just for grownups? At the Hotel Bel-Air’s Little Royals Tea, the savory side of the menu eschews adult offerings in favor of familiar yet upscale bites like a fancy grilled cheese sandwich. Among the sweets, there is a caramelized apple tart and even swan-shaped cookies. A special surprise gift is included as well. We don’t want to give it away, but the cookies are a good hint. There's also bubbly for the grown ups. Tea is held Fridays and Saturdays, reservations are accepted 3-4 p.m. The cost is $36 per child and $60 for adults.

For a small fee of only $30, the Langham Huntington Kids Program offers children (ages 12 and under) a backpack with a teddy bear picture on it that's filled with goodies like a coloring book, crayons, and a newsletter with suggestions for family-friendly adventures in the area. The cost of the bag also includes entry for the whole family to join in the nightly 7 p.m. s’mores poolside event by the fire pit at the Terrace. Kids cooking classes take place about once a month, and can be reserved through the restaurant reservationist.

The Tide Pool Kids Club takes advantage of the Terranea Resort’s spectacular coastal location to provide children with a bevy of activities that are a mix of fun, fitness and education. Examples include board games, talent show, Super Hero Showdown, Peter Pan-inspired treasure hunt and an outer space adventure. Kids ages two through 12 are able to participate. On top of all that, there are boundless experiences while exploring tide pools, horseback riding, stand-up paddleboarding, whale watching and even falconry.
