When travelling to a foreign destination with young children, it is important to find a hotel that will make your stay as comfortable as possible. For many parents, this means opting for a family hotel rather than a traditional hotel.

There are many reasons why family hotels are a better option when travelling with kids. For starters, family hotels typically offer more amenities specifically for children, such as pools, play areas, and child-friendly menus. They also typically have more spacious rooms, which is important when you’re travelling with a lot of luggage.

Another advantage of family hotels is that they are often in locations that are more kid-friendly. This can be especially important when travelling to a city like Shanghai, which is filled with sights and sounds that may be too overwhelming for young children.

Lastly, family hotels typically offer lower rates than traditional hotels, making them a more affordable option for families. So, if you’re looking for a comfortable and affordable place to stay when travelling to Shanghai with kids, a family hotel is the way to go.
