So, you’re booking a holiday! Super exciting!
One of the first things to consider is what type of trip this is and what part accommodation choice is going to play. If you’re off to Paris or NYC and planning to do some jam-packed days of city sightseeing, an AFH hotel might not be the best fit for this trip. Or if you’re going on a road trip and only passing through with a different hotel each night, “family friendly” might be just what you’re looking for.
But, perhaps this is a trip where you just want to spend some quality time together as a family and the hotel is a key part of the equation and an AFH hotel is just what you need!

And as always– hotels are deeply personal and we understand that everyone has their own idea of what makes the perfect AFH hotel so start here and then do some of your own research and pick the one that feels best for you for this trip!
