The lucky next generation of jetsetters are starting off as VIPs with some over-the-top amenities to enjoy. While your own childhood vacations may have involved being wedged in the back of the family station wagon between your sister and the dog on road trips, the landscape for traveling with kids has unmistakably evolved (and you’ve hopefully upgraded to one of today’s best luxury hotels).
