Rooms for 5 or 6

Rooms that actually take five.

Most hotel rooms here take 2 adults and 2 kids. These are the room types that take five or six, by name, so you can search for them directly. Watch the child-age limits: several only count kids under 12 or under 18.

Heads up: the booking buttons in this guide are affiliate links. If you book through one we earn a small commission, at no extra cost to you, and it helps keep the group and this guide free. We only share places we'd actually recommend, and a place never gets listed just because it pays.

Before you book

  • Search for a "family suite" or "two-bedroom suite" rather than asking for connecting rooms, which often can't be guaranteed.
  • Check the max occupancy and the child-age limit on the booking page before you fall in love with a place. Teens often count as adults.
  • Five or more? One big family in the group put it simply: a villa or condo with real bedrooms beats squeezing into hotel rooms.
