Raise your hand if you love traveling with kids but dread being stuck all together in a hotel room? I’m not just talking about family trips with your own kids, either. What about traveling in a big group with lots of kids who are excited to be in a hotel and with their friends? Yup, I see you, sports mom. I feel your pain.
In addition to packing many bodies and all their STUFF into a room, traveling for sports comes with a whole lot of hurdles. Having enough space for everyone, feeding the team, stinky uniforms, finding space for team meetings, and making sure everyone is happy are just a few things that come to mind. I’ve been a fan of the All Suites brand by Hilton hotels for a long time because they are perfect for a big group. The amenities are plentiful and thoughtful. And everything about the hotels is designed to ensure your whole party is happy and well taken care of. I had the opportunity to tour several hotels in Orlando (which is a regular destination for kids’ sports). And I loved them all. I can’t wait to bring my family to try out these hotels.
Embassy Suites
I was lucky enough to be spoiled with a stay at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Orlando-International Drive Convention Center for a weekend. Check out the room tour!
This hotel is located right in the middle of everything. There are dining and shopping options right nearby. There is easy access to all the theme parks and attractions. And the amenities will keep any team (and their parents!) happy.
In addition to a free cooked-to-order breakfast perfect for hungry teams, Embassy Suites offers spacious two-room suites that are ideal for groups. There’s also the famous evening reception with snacks and drinks for everyone, meeting spaces available for some team spirit, and one of the comfiest beds I’ve ever stayed in. My family often stays at Embassy Suites when we travel, because we love having separate space for the kids. We all sleep better when we aren’t on top of each other. Even better for tired athletes!
Homewood Suites
The Homewood Suites by Hilton Orlando Theme Parks has studios and one- and two-bedroom rooms with full kitchens and a really modern vibe. There are separate sleeping and living areas, which is perfect for a big group! Homewood offers breakfast, grocery shopping service delivered to your room, and every amenity you might want for an extended stay. Check out how beautiful it is!
Home2 Suites
The Home2 Suites by Hilton Orlando Near Universal was the most edgy and unexpected of the hotels with its modular furniture, fun and bright colors, and creative touches like the Spin2Cycle — a combined laundry and fitness area (think about it — it’s brilliant). Home2 Suites is an ideal space for any family or team on the go. In addition to being pet friendly, this hotel offers lots of great outdoor space perfect for celebrating your team!
So where are you traveling next for your kids’ sports? What do you look for in a hotel? Thankfully, the All Suites brand has hundreds of hotels, with something for everyone!
