Yoto Players are designed to entertain children aged three to 12 and above and must be returned to the front desk upon checking out.
The programme is exclusive to Sonesta Travel Pass members travelling with children, but those who are not members can sign up to take advantage of the Yoto Players during their stay.
Yoto North America managing director Sarah Natchez said: “As parents, we all know how tough it can be to keep little ones happily entertained while travelling.

In addition to the Yoto Players, Sonesta offers experiences and wellness activities tailored for younger guests.

“The goal of Sonesta Kids Crew and this new partnership with Yoto is to offer a way for children to have explorative adventures, so their parents can enjoy downtime knowing their little travellers are making the absolute most of their trip.”
