Traveling with babies and toddlers is... tricky. Still, most parents muddle through, expecting things to get easier once their kids get older. Then, those kids do get older, and their parents discover that traveling with tweens and teens poses its own set of challenges.

Tweens and teens want their own space, even while on the road. They need access to food constantly. It's hard to get them to put their phones down. On top of all that, kids at this age are judgmental and want to stay somewhere that will look good in a TikTok video.

It's impossible to please tweens and teens all the time (or even most of the time). However, some hotel chains do a stellar job catering to this hard-to-please demographic. Who knows? You may even make it to the end of your vacation with minimal eye rolls.

Loews Hotels

Loews Hotels embrace teens with their "Loews Loves Families" program and delectable "Adventurous Eaters" menus. Loews goes the extra mile to make sure teens get the most out of their trip, even when they would rather sit in the room and mope.

Many Loews hotels partner with local cultural institutions and regional attractions to create immersive experiences with teens in mind. Loews also creates menus for teens who have outgrown the kids' menu but aren't enamored with adult fare. In Miami, teen diners can order Cuban delicacies like Guava and Cheese French Toast, while in New Orleans, they can sample chicken and sausage Gumbo.
