Omni Hotels & Resorts Named to Parents "Best Hotel Chains for Families" List

IRVING, Texas, March 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Omni Hotels & Resorts was included in Parents "10 Best Hotel Chains for Families" list, recognizing the various programs offered to traveling families at hotel chains across the U.S. The luxury brand is best known for the Omni Sensational Kids program, which includes a unique, "Discovery" welcome backpack with a 32-page fold-out map including travel games, crayons, magnifying glass and more. In addition to the fun-filled bag, children staying at Omni are treated to milk and cookies on their first night, a great way to end a day of adventures and exploring. An additional family travel offering is the Omni Kids' Suites, which feature one-of-a-kind designs with colorful children's furniture and bedding, beanbag chairs, games, books, an art center and other activities in their own guest room – with parents in a connecting guest room (available at select properties).

"We are honored to be recognized for our efforts to create unique family travel experiences," said Caryn Kboudi, vice president, corporate communications for Omni Hotels & Resorts. "Travelers want to create special memories for the entire family when traveling, and we hope to help them do just that."

The exclusive findings from Parents "10 Best Hotel Chains for Families" survey were based on collaboration between the magazine and travel experts to help locate hotels where families can comfortably stay no matter what city they're visiting.  More than 70 hotel chains that go out of their way to offer family-friendly amenities were evaluated. The results of the 10 Best Hotel Chains for Families survey appear in the April 2012 issue of Parents.

"Choosing where your family will stay is one of the most important parts of vacation planning," says Dana Points, editor-in-chief of Parents. "The hotel chains on our Ten Best list have taken family-friendliness to new levels with refrigerators stocked with requested groceries and Fisher-Price lending libraries.  This list will help families locate hotels that give parents and kids star treatment."
