10 Hotels With Amazing Kid Amenities That Make All the Travel Hassle Worth It

The Peninsula Hotel chain, located in New York City, Chicago, and Beverly Hills, as well as locations abroad including Tokyo, Paris, and Hong Kong, understands the needs of a family. The luxury chain provides child-size slippers and bathrobes, as well as a complimentary children's menu at hotel restaurants. The Peninsula in New York City also has an in-room tent set up, offers a scavenger hunt for kids, and creates poolside picnics for pint-size guests.

Select Wyndham Grand Hotels — including the Wyndham Grand Clearwater Beach, FL, Wyndham Grand Orlando Bonnet Creek, Wyndham Grand Chicago Riverfront, Hotel Galvez in Galveston, TX, and The Mills House in Charleston, SC — have rolled out an experience called Reconnected. With this program, guests get blueprints to DIY a blanket fort, an Instax camera for use during their hotel stay, access to a special, s'mores-centric menu, and other treats. For so many kids, the hotel stay is the trip highlight, and this promotion makes downtime hanging out at the hotel fun for you, too.

The luxurious hotel chain goes the extra mile for pint-size guests. For example, the Four Seasons Boston offers a kids "glamping" package, complete with an in-room s'mores grill, a stuffed animal upon check-in, and a cookie-making class. Many Four Seasons resorts also offer other kid amenities, depending on the location. Kids clubs, in-room babysitters, and other kid-exclusive offers make the Four Seasons a luxe getaway for the whole family.

From child-size animal print robes to welcome gifts upon check-in, Kimpton treats toddlers like VIPs. Offers vary depending on location, but all come with toddler safety kits, so you can kid-proof a room. Babysitting recommendations are available at the front desk, and some rooms are designed especially for families, with bunk beds available for kids.

All Omni Hotel chains offer pint-size guests a backpack full of goodies, including a book, game, and toys, and some Omni Hotels — including San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Boston, and Bretton Woods, NH — offer suites for kids (parents stay in an adjoining room). These suites have toys, activities, and twin beds, like this one pictured in San Antonio.

Rosewood hotels have outposts around the world, with many resorts having on-site kids clubs rooted in the Montessori method of education, so kids can truly learn as they play. All Rosewood hotels have a customized "Rose Bud" program offering pint-size bathrobes, slippers, and kid-friendly grooming products, as well as activities unique to the specific location, like scavenger hunts or music classes. All properties have baby and toddler gear, like diaper pails and strollers, available to loan to guests.

Sheraton has legendary kids clubs (like the one in Los Cabos, pictured), but they also offer plenty of amenities across properties around the world. One to note (which is also available throughout Starwood Groups Hotels) is the Starwood Preferred Guest Kids Pass program, which allows kids under 12 an all-inclusive dining option for $15 a day, including all the chocolate milk (or any other beverages) they can drink. It's the perfect option for picky eaters who also need regular snacks to stay fueled for fun.

While only some Loews Hotels offer kid-exclusive suites designed with famous characters from movies (check out this Minions-inspired one at the Loews Portofinio Bay in Orlando, FL!), all Loews hotels participate in the Loews Loves Kids program, with childproofing kits, loaner toys and games, and a welcome kit with an activity book.

While Embassy Suites may have a corporate vibe, parents give this chain high marks for their standard suites, which allow separation between parents and kids with a separate bedroom and living area. Free breakfasts are also popular, but the Embassy Suites gem for parents in the know is their nightly cocktail reception, where hangry toddlers can nibble on snacks and raise a glass of milk while their parents enjoy a glass of wine in the lobby. Embassy Suites also goes the extra mile in providing plenty of paper and crayons to draw with as parents mingle.

With separate living areas and bedrooms and a complimentary breakfast, SpringHill Suites is a top pick for families who want the space to spread out. Locations near popular tourism destinations, like this photo from SpringHill Suites in Springdale, Utah, have a kid-friendly splash pad and play space alongside the pool. And all Marriott hotel properties offer a Tots Travel Too initiative, where complimentary childproofing supplies are available, as well as bibs, toddler toiletries, and even a complimentary bath toy to take home.
