We were going to do Amsterdam when our youngest was an infant but lingering COVID stuff killed the trip. There is a really family-friendly nice hotel in AMS but I forget the name. Pulitzer? We had narrowed it to that and an AirBNB in the Jordaan. Had planned a Copenhagen trip with the newer infants and it got cancelled for other reasons. We may do the UK next year with everyone.
I haven't tested this, but my thought was make sure to stay in city center suites/Air BNBs to ensure that during naps or whatever, it would be easy for one of us to walk some neighborhoods, pop into a pub, etc. Candidly when we traveled a lot before kids we'd do the same (one of us needed to be on a call or whatever, so the other roamed and grabbed a drink, etc.).
Some of my favorite memories, especially in Europe, are just walking around to kill an hour or two and having a conversation with a random in a cafe or bar. So keeping that option would be nice.
Last time we were in Budapest the couple staying adjacent to us had an infant, and they had a similar outlook/ambition (trade off some mid-day/nap city walking while the other hangs with the baby). Having a place with a balcony or similar so that one of you can soak in some environs while being there for naptime/feedings would probably help.
