Getting away on a multi-gen trip, one that includes a variety of ages and friends and family members with different interests, can be a fun way to spend some quality time before the end of summer, but a bear to plan.

When considering different travel interests and age-appropriate activities, organizing a multigenerational trip is easier done with accommodations offering a little bit of everything in diversely entertaining destinations. Enter this list.

Enjoy the cooling air of the city or lingering long sunsets of the beach on your next family stay.

The Rittenhouse in Philadelphia

For an easy-to-please destination with shopping, history, incredible dining, fun nightlife and an entertaining theater scene, Philadelphia has it all. Stay in the heart of the action in the Rittenhouse neighborhood of Center City at the stunning hotel of the same name: The Rittenhouse. Located along Rittenhouse Square, guests can take advantage of the park’s green spaces, pop-up markets, art shows and events hosted regularly in the summer.

Enjoy easy walking distance to the park, shops, high-end dining and Philadelphia musts like The Philadelphia Art Museum and The Franklin Institute. After a long day exploring the city, filling up on cuisine and culture, head back to your hotel’s indoor glamping scene. Kids can cozy up in sleeping bags and tent-enclosed mattresses with homemade s’mores. The little ones in your group will also find robes and slippers, just their size, to match the adults, along with a welcome gift from the hotel.
