🛌 In West London, late May, a weekend hotel stay for a family with teens (ages 13 and 17) skyrockets from £635 to over £1,125 without breakfast. The age of 13 marks the shift, as hotels no longer consider children as such, doubling costs by requiring two rooms. This pricing pushes families towards alternatives like aparthotels. Hotels risk losing families as teenagers, often easier guests than toddlers, are treated as adults for pricing.
