143. Europe Travel with Kids: Traci's Hotel Booking Strategies for Families

Do you struggle to find hotel rooms in Europe that can accommodate your entire family? Many European hotels limit occupancy to just two guests per room, leaving families either piecing together multiple bookings or endlessly searching for those rare properties that actually sleep four or more. And because of strict occupancy rules, you can’t just show up with extra kids and hope for the best — some hotels will turn you away at check-in.

 

Today, Traci joins Alex and Jess to share her extensive research and personal experience booking family-friendly hotels across Europe using points. She’s uncovered unicorn properties that fit four people without hassle, smart strategies for booking two rooms with points, and surprising ways travel portals can actually be useful for families. Whether you're traveling with toddlers who need to stay close or teens who’d prefer their own space, these strategies will help you navigate the unique challenges of European hotel bookings while still getting great value from your points.
