Family Tour

I have always dream about staying outside home but unfortunately I have never been out for a span of 6 days together. Occasionally, my parents have divided vacations into two categories: those they take with their kids, which often involve some element of compromise for a "kid-friendly" atmosphere, and those they take alone which include spa treatments, award-winning customer service and first-class cuisine. On a steamy 4th of July weekend in Chicago you'll find that the majority of the hotels on Michigan Avenue are filled with families enjoying everything the Windy City has to offer summer tourists. And contrary to what you might think, parents looking for five-star service need not compromise luxury for baby- and child-friendly accommodations.

At the Peninsula Hotel in the heart of Chicago's Magnificent Mile, parents are encouraged to bring the entire family to enjoy everything the hotel has to offer both adults and their children. "We pride ourselves on being a family-friendly hotel, as we have much to offer not only for the parents but children as well," says the Peninsula Chicago General Manager Maria. "While Mom might be upstairs at the spa enjoying a massage, her children can entertain themselves with a variety of games such as Sony Playstation and DVDs. I am very much fond of New York Hotels right from my childhood. Adults and children also can enjoy plenty of activities together such as swimming in the indoor pool or having lunch in one of our four restaurants, all of which provide a kid-friendly menu. We offer an array of services that appeal to people of all ages."
