Holiday Inn resorts continue to target family travelers with affordable rooms, pools, kids' activities, and on-site dining. Amenities vary by property - some include splash areas or waterparks - so confirm details like kids-eat-free policies, room configurations, and seasonal programming before booking. Use IHG One Rewards and the brand app for bookings and mobile check-in.

Why choose a Holiday Inn family resort

Holiday Inn properties remain a practical choice for families who want dependable rooms, kid-friendly amenities, and recognizable service. Many Holiday Inn resorts focus on straightforward, affordable family travel: comfortable rooms, pools, on-site dining, and flexible booking through the brand app or major travel sites.

What family-friendly amenities you'll commonly find

Most Holiday Inn resorts offer a mix of features that make packing light and traveling with kids easier:
  • Multiple swimming pools or a family pool (some resorts include splash pads or small water-play areas)
  • Kids' programs or activity calendars at many properties
  • Family rooms or connecting rooms
  • On-site restaurants and room service (kids-eat-free policies vary by hotel)
  • Free Wi-Fi and mobile check-in/check-out through the IHG app
  • Fitness centers, laundry services, and business centers
The exact mix of amenities varies by property. Some larger resorts include waterparks, beach access, or enhanced kids' clubs; smaller properties focus on pool space and family rooms.

Booking, loyalty, and price-conscious planning

Holiday Inn is part of IHG, and guests can earn and redeem points through IHG One Rewards. Look for family packages that bundle meals or activities. Weekday and off-season stays can significantly lower room rates, and some hotels run promotions that include breakfast or kids-eat-free offers - policies differ by property and region.

Locations and experiences

Holiday Inn resorts operate in coastal, lake, and mountain destinations worldwide, making them useful home bases whether you plan to explore local attractions or relax poolside. Examples historically associated with the brand include seaside and mountain towns, but specific openings, closings, and brand names have changed over time; check the hotel's current listing before you book. 1

Practical tips for a smoother family stay

  • Confirm bed configuration and connecting rooms at booking.
  • Ask the hotel about kids' activities and any age limits.
  • Check dining hours and kids-eat-free details before arrival.
  • Use the IHG app for mobile check-in, digital room keys (where available), and to manage rewards.
Holiday Inn family resorts still aim to deliver simple, dependable vacations without premium pricing. For a particular itinerary or amenity list, verify the current property details and policies before you travel. 2
