Best Hotels with Bunk Beds for Family Travel

Can it get any cooler than Super Mario-themed bunk beds? Photo courtesy of Villatel Orlando Resort

If you're a family with two kids, you know the drill when it comes to standard hotel rooms: you either have the kids share a bed (and deal with the fighting that results), or each parent sleeps with one kid and gets woken up all night by a foot or elbow to the face. If you have more than two kids, you likely have to shell out more money for adjoining rooms.

Hotels with bunk beds solve that problem by giving everyone their own sleeping space. Not only that, bunk beds are just plain fun for kids to sleep in. "Are there bunk beds?" is the first question many kids ask when their parents book a hotel room.

Here are 25 of the best family hotels with bunk beds across the US, plus some in Canada and the Caribbean. These bunk bed hotel rooms for families are located in big cities, near theme parks, along beaches, in skiing towns, and more.

Our Guide to Family-Friendly Resorts & Hotels is full of more great places to stay with kids, including our list of the best family vacation hotel suites, cottages, and villas.
