So you've arrived in town, but don't know the cool attractions for your youngsters, how to enjoy the city's outdoor spaces, or where to find the tastiest burger, best pizza, or creamiest ice cream? With Embassy Suites' Kids-Eye View program, kids just need to consult the passports they're given at check-in for a full rundown of local "must-do's," compiled with in-the-know advice from local kids. The booklets also feature pages for notes, doodles, and the dates you've visited each place. Kids-Eye View is available at properties in 26 markets, including Austin, Baltimore, Los Angeles, Miami, Charleston, and New York City.

Families will also appreciate Embassy Suites properties for the extra space—a bedroom plus a living area with a pull-out couch, a second television, as well as a mini-fridge and microwave. Also great for parents and children are the hotels' swimming pools and complimentary hot breakfast, taking away some of the headaches of on-the-road logistics and what to do when area attractions are closed.
