Best Hotel Suites for Families
Budget rooms and backpack hostels serve their purpose when doing exploratory traveling, but when it comes to a staycation with family, it’s a good idea to book a room that places you in the lap of luxury: suites, and not just suites, but the best hotel suites for families designed especially for communing and relaxing.
A suite is a hotel room that comes with a living room and dining area, so you can hang out and relax on a rainy weekend with loved ones close at hand. There are some suites that make you feel like a boss and there are some that are perfect for R&R with the family. Here are suite deals in the city that make good venues for those who just want to enjoy a lazy weekend of family time. This list is not ranked.
