What makes a family-friendly getaway fantastic? While unique destinations and immersive activities play a big role, your hotel's comfort and amenities are a significant part in an unforgettable family vacation. Hilton knows your stay is just as important as where you’re going and what you’re exploring. That’s why across its portfolio of brands, Hilton offers Confirmed Connecting Rooms by Hilton™ and suite-style digs; premium hotels that prioritize service and a sense of place; All-Inclusive resorts around the world; and loads of rewards and perks for Hilton Honors Members.
Spacious suites
For families traveling together, having the extra space to spread out and maneuver around suitcases, backpacks, and charging cords goes a long way, as well as making sure everyone gets to sleep on a comfy bed. After all, exploring historical sites or natural wonders is best done after a good night's sleep. Confirmed Connecting Rooms by Hilton™ can be booked before arrival, so everyone can stay together but still have their own space to relax, rest, and restore. Several brands within Hilton’s portfolio, such as Embassy Suites by Hilton, Homewood Suites by Hilton, and pet-friendly Home2 Suites by Hilton, also offer flexible configurations with living areas, multiple bedrooms, and fully equipped kitchens. All three brands include complimentary hot breakfast, so you can fuel up before heading out to explore.
Premium brands
The Hilton portfolio caters to every type of traveler, and for those looking for luxury, there’s no shortage of premium hotels and resorts to choose from that are also family-friendly. For sophisticated stays, Waldorf Astoria hotels are known for their elegant rooms and suites, dedicated concierge service, and elevated dining offerings. Meanwhile, Conrad Hotels & Resorts guarantee a deluxe stay with locally inspired offerings for a unique sense of place and exclusive experiences. LXR Hotels & Resorts stand out for their exclusive locations, plush accommodations, and immersive experiences. At the same time, Hilton’s partnership with the Small Luxury Hotels collection opens the door to incredible boutique hotels around the world. For a restful night’s sleep, Hilton’s newest collaboration with Calm, a popular mindfulness app, allows access to guided meditations, Sleep Stories, and relaxing soundscapes directly from in-room TVs, no subscription required.
All-Inclusive resorts
From Mexico to Greece, Hilton also boasts several All-Inclusive resorts that are perfect for families and multi-generational travelers. Many feature exclusive clubs for kids and teens, extensive dining options, and a variety of on-site activities and entertainment. Parents can also sneak away for some pampering at the spa, where Hilton Honors Members are eligible for discounts. From Lindian Village All-Inclusive Resort Rhodes, Curio Collection by Hilton, which is set on a private beach within an hour’s drive of the medieval city of Rhodes to Hilton Tulum Riviera Maya All-Inclusive Resort, where kids can build sandcastles and piñatas before the family explores nearby cenotes and archaeological sites—no matter which All-Inclusive resort you choose, top-notch service and added perks like daily refreshed mini bars and welcome amenities make for a seamless stay.
