EWING, N.J., May 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Family Vacation Critic, TripAdvisor's family travel site,
has released its annual list of the best hotels for families in 15
regions across the globe. Every hotel on the list has met a strict
list of family-specific criteria, having been highly-rated by
family travelers and personally vetted by Family Vacation Critic's
team of family travel experts.
"When planning a family vacation, it's important to find a hotel
that truly meets the needs of all ages in your group, and these
hotels do just that," explains Lissa
Poirot, Editor-in-Chief of Family Vacation Critic. "What's
interesting about this year's list is the number of top hotels not
just in traditional family vacation destinations, but also in
places that might not be top of mind for families – like
Costa Rica, or even Las Vegas. Just because you have children,
doesn't mean you can't plan a great family vacation to some of
those destinations that might not be top-of-mind for families, and
this list of family-approved hotels helps to make those trips a
reality."
The top hotels in each region include:
- California: West Inn
& Suites (Carlsbad, CA)
- Florida: Premiere Hotel
(Fort Lauderdale, FL)
- Hawaii: Four Seasons
Resort Lana'i (Lanai, HI)
- Mid-Atlantic: Casablanca Hotel by Library Hotel
Collection (New York, NY)
- Midwest: Black Hawk Motel & Suites (Wisconsin Dells, WI)
- New England: The Nantucket Hotel & Resort
(Nantucket, MA)
- Pacific Northwest: Hallmark Resort Cannon Beach
(Cannon Beach, OR)
- Rockies: Tivoli Lodge (Vail,
CO)
- Southeast: The Inn at Christmas Place (Pigeon Forge, TN)
- Southwest: The Venetian Las Vegas (Las Vegas, NV)
- Canada: The
Ritz-Carlton Montreal (Montreal,
Canada)

Hotel and Villas (Montego Bay,
Jamaica)

del Mar Beachfront and Rainforest Resort (Costa Rica)
