Vacation is the most wonderful time of the year - right? Well, most people agree with that.

What is special about our selected recommendations of the most beautiful family hotels? They not only specialise in the ultimate holiday pleasure for children, but also cater for the well-being of parents with luxurious SPAs and excellent cuisine! We think this combination is unbeatable! What does this mean for you and your offspring? See for yourself!

Das erwartet Sie in den Family Deluxe Hotels – 4 ultimative Vorteile

Action for your children, relaxation for you

Thanks to professional supervision and child-friendly indoor and outdoor play areas, your kids - from babies to teenagers - will have the time of their lives, while you as parents can finally relax undisturbed in the SPA and enjoy time for two in the wellness area. Treat yourself to soothing massages or get back in shape with intensive yoga classes or training sessions. 

More than schnitzel with chips: Culinary delights for everyone

"I don't like that" - there's no such thing! The buffets or menus in the family hotels also meet the needs of all the finest: from palate-pleasing gourmet cuisine and trendy vegan dishes for the grown-ups to child-friendly meals that are not only tasty but also healthy for the little ones. Culinary delights for the whole family are available around the clock.

Family Deluxe Time: Family-friendly offers at the hotel & in the surrounding area

Collect memories for the family album that you will remember for a lifetime! Spend quality time together in the Family SPA, feed the four-legged friends in the petting zoo or take a trip and discover the family-friendly activities in the area before retiring to your spacious family room in the evening.

Maximum equipment: No wish remains unfulfilled

Save yourself the extra suitcase! Because the hotels specialise in babies and children, you will find most of the equipment you need - from prams to cots and changing mats - already in your room or you can hire it on request. So you can arrive light and concentrate fully on what a holiday should be: An unforgettable time for the whole family.
