PLAYMOBIL is an iconic German toy company owned by geobra Brandstätter. Horst Brandstätter, and his chief model-maker, Hans Beck, started creating toys in 1974, launching PLAYMOBIL’s first Knights, Indians and Construction ranges. The brand has grown to become one of the biggest toy companies in the world, with 2.7billion PLAYMOBIL figures populating children’s bedrooms worldwide.

 

We were invited to the launch of the playmobil suite.  We were very excited to attend. This year’s 40^th anniversary celebrations for iconic toy company PLAYMOBIL was launched with their first ever collaboration with The Waldorf Hilton, London, this summer for 40 days and 40 nights.  

The perfect holiday or staycation for the family, PLAYMOBIL will be residing at The Waldorf Hilton, London, and welcoming guests to stay in the exclusive PLAYMOBIL Suite, a play haven for the whole family to enjoy just in time for the summer holidays.

When we arrived at the Palm court it was filled with toys. My son was very excited.
Later we were taken to the playmobil suite ...

My son was mesmorised by all the toys. The layout of the suite is great. As you enter the suite the lounge area has been converted to a childrens bedroom filled with toys and matching bed linen.


At the back of the suite is the parents bedroom. The two areas have the bathroom inbetween. This allows the parents to have a relaxing sleep in while the children are well occupied. I think the only problem will be getting them to fall asleep following all the excitement!


Some quirky facts about we learnt on the day


 ·         In 2006, David Beckham broke millions of hearts by stepping down as England captain. Luckily PLAYMOBIL provided the perfect replacement, as the first PLAYMOBIL footballers with a kicking leg were released in this year!

 

·         PLAYMOBIL’s version of everyone’s favourite super-sleuth Sherlock Holmes arrived in 1994. Britain’s beloved Benedict Cumberbatch would never have made the role on his own had he not narrowly escaped death in a bomb explosion in this year!

 

·         A character looking suspiciously like a familiar American oddball-pop star arrived in 2012. The same pop star also made it onto The Simpsons in this year!

 

·         PLAYMOBIL first appointed a Royal Guard in 1978, and has sold 20,000 in the UK since. That’s 5,000 times the amount of guards the Queen has outside Buckingham Palace!

 

·         The PLAYMOBIL Princess Wedding Advent Calendar was released in 2011 – the year after Prince William proposed to Kate Middleton!

 

·         PLAYMOBIL people have even found the time to cross the iconic Abbey Road crossing, in 2013 - 50 years after The Beatles’ released their very first album!
