Hartford
is a progressive city that is known for its vibrant nightlife. It earned the
nickname of “New England’s Rising Star.” But many travelers were pleasantly
surprised to discover that Hartford, Connecticut is also a great destination
for family vacations. There are several Hartford family hotels, such as the Crowne
Plaza Hotel Hartford-Downtown, the Hilton
Hartford, the Holiday
Inn Express Hartford-Downtown, and the Marriott
Hartford Rocky Hill. Not only are these hotels kid friendly but the room
rates are affordable as well. Then, once the travelers are in Hartford, they
must be ready for full servings of delightful food, plenty of music and
entertainment, and a splash of history.
Dining
in many Hartford restaurants is similar to traveling around the world. The
whole family will discover, savor, and yearn for Irish, Afghan, Vietnamese,
Brazilian, and European cuisines. Then the family can proceed to the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art.
It is the oldest public art museum of the United States. There is also the Bushnell Center for the Performing Arts and
Hartford Stage, the premier performing arts center in all of Connecticut. Why
is there so much emphasis on arts? This is because the folks of Hartford are
proud to claim that their city is the home of Mark Twain and Harriet Beecher
Stowe.
