7 Hotel Bunk Rooms the Whole Family Will Love

With the ever-growing popularity of vacation rental sites such as Airbnb and VRBO, it’s no surprise hotels have stepped up their game when it comes to group travel. 

One of the ways they’re appealing to different kinds of travelers: bunk rooms with high-end amenities and magazine-worthy design.

From luxury built-in bunks with brass accents and custom millwork to more rustic Western-themed digs, these seven bunk rooms prove you don’t have to sacrifice on style (or comfort) just because you’re traveling with the whole family.

Ruggedly beautiful coastline? R&R? Yes, please. The Timber Coast Resort is in redwood country just 2 ½ hours from San Francisco but it will have you feeling like you’re worlds away. The towering fireplace and comfy seating in the Great Room make it a cozy spot for curling up with a good book or gathering the whole family for game night. Outside, the fun continues with foosball, ping pong and billiards. Back in the room you’ll find bunks for four, a deck overlooking the ocean and a Crosley record player to keep the good vibes going. While you may never want to leave this peaceful enclave, there are hiking trails, horseback riding and kayaking nearby if you’re feeling adventurous. timbercoveresort.com

Part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, this hacienda meets rustic-luxe newcomer to the Fort Worth Stockyards is a Western lover’s family-friendly dream. (Even your pup is welcome.)  It’s easy to immerse yourself in cattle culture here, be it taking in the rodeo at nearby Cowtown Coliseum, getting lost in the Cattlepen Maze, or catching one of the twice daily Longhorn drives. There’s also lots of fun to be had back at the hotel: take a dip in the ranch-style pool, play lawn games or listen to some live music. The Drover caters to the kiddos with child-sized robes and in-room stools that’ll help them feel right at home. hoteldrover.com

Perhaps the most sophisticated accommodation on our list, with a formal sitting area, beverage station (hello, wine fridge), individual cubbies and custom bunk wall complete with staircase, the Atticus’ Luxury Bunkhouse more than lives up to its name. atticushotel.com
