Family Hotels

Best Family Friendly Hotel Chains

Mar 9, 2007 Kelby Carr

Finding a family friendly hotel can be challenging, but there are some hotel chains that have targeted families by offering services specifically for parents and kids.

Loews Hotels

Through the Loews Loves Kids program, there are numerous amenities for families that go well above and beyond the norm and many of their competitors. Every Loews features a Kids Kloset where guests can borrow everything from car seats, baby bath tubs and child proof kits for babies to DVDs and game systems for teens.

They have partnered with Fisher Price to offer play yards, baby swings and toddler potties. Certain Loews resorts offer classes for babies as well. Although it isn't part of the family program, another great family benefit is that Loews recently banned all trans fats from its hotels.

Wyndham Hotels

Wyndham offers many hotel amenities for families, including family suites including bunk beds and art tables at certain locations, nutritious children's meals such as fruit pizza and babysitting available at all hotels. They have a Family Retreat Program featuring family activities like cooking classes and parent-and-child spa treatments.

Through Jet Set Babies, Wyndham hotel guests traveling with babies can avoid the nuisance of lugging tons of supplies in their luggage. You can have the necessities like diapers, wipes and formula waiting at your hotel.

Four Seasons Hotels

From the Four Seasons Teen Concierge, on hand to offer teen-specific destination advice, to indulgent child-sized robes, Four Seasons does a great job of making a stay special for families at their hotels. Their hotels also feature free baby furnishings and bath products.

Hyatt Hotels

Camp Hyatt is a unique and fun approach that even involves kids in the trip planning process through the Camp Hyatt Web site. On the site, kids can see a map of Camp Hyatt hotels, read kid reviews of the program and see a photo gallery of Camp Hyatt. It also features information on which Hyatts have the best pools.
