Just What We'd Expect from Personality Hotels--Kids with Personality

Personality Hotels is the master of creating crazy packages—after all, it was the brand that gave us snuggie sutra. But this time it's setting its sights on wooing a younger crowd, a much younger crowd.

The hotel chain is offering Kids with Personality, a new year-round program that gives children some complimentary check-in swag. For the summer, it will offer regal-themed goodies in honor of Prince William and Princess Kate, two people kiddies probably don't know.

Pampered Children Play on a Pirate Ship Poolside at The Four Seasons Provence

Where: 3100 Route de Bagnols-en-Forêt, Domaine de Terre Blanche, 83440 Tourrette, Var, France

Your little one may not be excited to be dragged along to Provence's medieval villages, but he will be pumped to play on a pirate boat at the Four Seasons Provence at Terre Blanche. The poolside pirate boat is only part of the French hotel's new free kiddie offerings this summer.

That pool also has a water slide, water-shooting dinosaurs, a wading splash pool and a kids-only snack bar. Aside from the water options, the hotel partnered with Lego to build a new Kids for All Seasons Centre with two playrooms, one for tykes between 2 and 5 and the other for children 6 to 12, which of course come with Wiis and PlayStations.

Where: 225 N. Canon Drive [map], Beverly Hills, CA, United States, 90210

If you're in desperate need of a destressing holiday spa treatment or if you're Camille Grammer and one of your four nannies for your two kids has gone AWOL, you won't have to worry about trying to find a babysitter at the Montage Beverly Hills.

The hotel will take care of kiddies ages 5 to 12 with its new Paintbox program, which offers daily themed activities that will keep them occupied while you go off doing more adult things at the hotel. Except we're kinda curious if we can partake in Paintbox, just check out some of the offerings:

Kiddie Bloggers Not Just for Fashion World as Ritz-Carlton PB Gets a 'Petite Blogger'

Where: 100 South Ocean Boulevard [map], Palm Beach, FL, United States, 33462

Amanda Jet with her younger brother, her uncle Johnny and the hotel's director of PR, Christine DiRocco.

UPDATE 3.10.10: Looks like the Petite Blogger has been "put on hold for a little while." The hotel promised to let us know as soon as they are able to move forward with Miss Jet.

Last week, we were obsessed with Racked's child fashion blogger, Katie, who was really just a tongue-in-cheek commentary on the preteen and teen fashion bloggers that have captivated the fashion world. (See: Tavi.)

But kiddie bloggers can do more than pontificate on short hemlines and Rodarte for Target. They can write about kids programs at hotels! Thus The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach has appointed their own child blogger--12-year-old Amanda Jet, niece of the very popular travel expert Johnny Jet.

Amanda's official title is Petite Blogger and her role is to, duh!, blog about her adventures at the hotel and the resort's kids program, Coast and AquaNuts.
