Kids, dogs and mothers-in-law at Chapter

Yes, Yes and Especially

We get asked this in one breath, so we answer it in one breath: kids, dogs, mothers-in-law — yes, yes, and especially.

THE CHILDREN

Hot chocolate at altitude. The pool, which wins from 11:40 and will keep winning until someone is carried to bed. Warm pastries at nine that we don't ration. A lawn to run on until the lights go up. Chapter is loud, and children are the one group who never needed to be told that's allowed.

Dogs

Dogs get the run of the lawns. Five thousand square feet at Upper Shillong; the lakeshore at Lakeside. Tell us when you book so the room is right and the welcome is ready. We are not the hotel that pretends a dog is a problem.

Mothers-in-law

The best view in the house. That's the rule, and it's not a joke: the palace-facing room at Lakeside, the room with the cloud view at Upper Shillong. In-laws get first pick. Everyone else gets a quieter weekend as a result.

The Rest Of The family

Three generations in one place is precisely what a seventeen-room hotel is for. Take enough rooms that the people who want quiet get it after one, and the people who don't get the bar that took its clock down. Nobody has to compromise; that's what the size is for.

Two years in. What we got right; what we'd do differently; the thing we're still arguing about.

LETTER

We thought you might like to know…

Is there a kids' menu?

The kitchen cooks for children; tell us ages when you book and we'll say what's on.

Are dogs allowed in the rooms?

Tell us when you book and we'll put you in the right one.

Is the hotel too loud for grandparents?

From 01:00 to 05:00 it's the quietest place you've been. Before that, they'll be at the bar.

Want to tell us who is coming..!
