Luxury hotels where a family of 5 fits in one room

How to book a family of five for value
- Price one family suite vs two rooms: two rooms under Amex FHR get two sets of breakfast and credits (benefits apply per room, up to three rooms). [Amex Travel – FHR benefits & terms]
- Check age rules: some suites count teens as adults (e.g. Vila Vita Parc's Oasis Family Suite allows only one child ≤12 alongside four adults).
- Confirm connecting rooms in writing; most hotels list them as "subject to availability".
