Special hotel booking service launched for 18-year-old travellers
US-based Hotels for 18 Year Olds has launched a service targeting young adults who often encounter difficulties when booking hotel accommodations due to age restrictions.
The platform aims to simplify the process by providing information on age-friendly hotels across the country.
The service specialises in collaborating with hotels that welcome guests who are 18 years old, addressing a gap left by traditional booking sites, which frequently omit clear age requirements.
This oversight can lead to last-minute cancellations and complications for young adults, who, despite being legal adults, face age-based barriers in the hospitality sector.
founder Randall Barwick said: "Too many 18-year-olds are being turned away at hotel front desks or having their reservations cancelled simply because of their age.
"We're bridging this gap by creating the first platform specifically designed to solve booking challenges for young adult travellers who are legally adults but still face age discrimination in the hospitality industry."
The platform provides details about each property, encompassing specific age requirements and any other policies that might impact young adult guests.
Barwick added: "We're seeing strong interest from both travellers and hotel partners who recognise the value in serving this demographic.
"College students, young professionals, and other 18-year-old travellers deserve the same booking confidence that older guests enjoy."
The service caters to different travel needs common among young adults, which include internship relocations, college visits, gap year trips, and early career travel.
The platform is now live and features properties in major US destinations, with plans to broaden its network of partner hotels and include international destinations.
"Special hotel booking service launched for 18-year-old travellers" was originally created and published by Hotel Management Network, a GlobalData owned brand.
