Loews Love Families

Loews Hotels has just announced its renewed and expanded Loews Loves Families program. We appreciate when hotels take the time to determine what you need for a successful stay and partner with like-minded companies. We are excited about their refined child-friendly food and beverage options, new destination-driven educational experiences, and new partnerships with Little Spoon, a plant-based baby food product brand, and Hello Baby for natural baby products. Loews’ new Adventurous Eaters program focuses on giving children the opportunity with kid-sized portions to explore destinations and expand their palates through regional cuisine such as Creole food in New Orleans and Latin fare in Miami Beach.  Expanded discovery opportunities called Destination Exploration offer your family unique experiences to ignite learning and cultural immersion and empower young travelers to view travel as a “classroom without boundaries.” Examples include stargazing in Tucson and visiting the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville where everyone has the chance to record their own tune inside its recording studio. Mindful that food quality and flavor are important for guests of all ages, Loews has partnered with Little Spoon. Two of the company’s most popular pureed meals (Spinach, Mango, Banana, Hemp and Kale, Avocado, Apple, and Chia) are now available at restaurants and on in-room dining menus across Loews’ portfolio.  Designed for parents wanting to provide their children with quality, sustainable products, Loews also has complimentary Hello Bello baby and toddler amenity kits.
