Fun Stuff to Do in a Hotel

Hotels aren't just places to rest up for your destination or your next day of travel. They are centers of relaxation and vacation fun all in themselves. Whether you're staying in a five-star luxury suite or a roadside motel, explore the possibilities.

Go Swimming

Swimming pools are one of the greatest amenities you can find in a hotel. Swimming is fun, it's great exercise and relaxing at the same time. Many hotels are upgrading from their simple in-ground pools to full-on water parks with slides and fountains.

Luxury Items

If your hotel offers room service, take advantage of it. There's something fun and luxurious about having dinner come up to your room on a cart. Get a spa treatment, walk around in a nice robe, get a manicure, or get your hair done for a night out.

The Game Room

Many hotels have full-scale game rooms with pool tables, foosball, pinball and a selection of old-style standup video games. For adults, it's an opportunity to relive a bit of arcade magic, and for the kids, it's an opportunity to see what things were like before you could play intensely detailed and beautifully drawn video games on a handheld computer.

Awesome Amenities

If you're staying at a resort hotel, there's a lot more than just a pool and a game room. You might have a beach, a man-made beach, a lazy river, a roller coaster, or amusement-park activities such as go-karts, bungee jumping or a giant swing.

Do Something Different

No matter where you're staying or how nice it is, staying at a hotel can be fun simply because it's not what you do every other day. Even everyday games take on a new life in a different setting. Play cards. Play a travel version of a board game. Take a long bath. Jump on the beds or have a pillow fight. Take part in any leisure or social activities your hotel offers. Do something you don't usually do.
