Luxury hospitality brand’s revamped kids programming presents all-new experiences, positioning kids as the stars of their own journey via exploring, connecting, and playing.
LOS ANGELES, CA – Viceroy Hotels & Resorts, the globally renowned luxury hospitality brand, announces the launch of V Team Kids, a revamp and uniquely curated amplification of the brand’s kids and family programming, offering an unparalleled range of activities designed especially for young travelers. Viceroy offers V Team Kids experiences at Viceroy Los Cabos, Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort (St. Lucia), Viceroy Chicago, Viceroy Kopaonik, Serbia, Viceroy Santa Monica, Viceroy Snowmass, Viceroy Washington DC, and Hotel Zena, each providing kids and teens with a unique showcase of locally-rooted programming specific to each property’s destination. From Pacific Ocean surfing and skateboard lessons in Santa Monica and curated family picnics on Lake Michigan, to sand art and piñata making on the Sea of Cortez, and beach clean-up excursions in the shadow of the majestic Pitons, Viceroy is committed to offering luxury family vacations that captivate the imagination of youth and harness lifetime memories.
Four core pillars embody Viceroy’s ethos for V Team Kids: Expressing creativity, connecting community, exploring locally, and empowering play. Every curated moment is designed with intention, empowering Viceroy’s youngest guests the freedom to express their creativity (through art and interactive projects), connect to the community (such as excursions and activities focused on environmental preservation), explore the local terrain (via outdoor adventures and nature immersion), and let their playful side thrive (through active play, sports, and games).
“With V Team Kids, Viceroy introduces a more intentional commitment to enhancing family travel with the brand, delivering new curated, meaningful experiences that go beyond what you’d expect at a typical kid’s club”, says Kelly Kang, Viceroy’s Vice President, Brand Marketing. “The launch of V Team Kids kicks off a range of programming that is meant to not only inspire creativity in our young guests, but also impart a positive impact on the destination’s community, allowing them to discover the surrounding locale, and even pick up new hobbies. It reflects our brand pillars and ensures that throughout their stay, families traveling to any Viceroy hotel feel special, recognized and taken care of.”
