If you prefer to be outdoors when you're on vacation, here are some tips for booking a hotel near attractions you will enjoy.
Search for hotels near large, multi-functional outdoor attractions
When deciding where you should stay in the area you want to vacation in, you should search for hotels that are near outdoor attractions that contain several different amenities. For example, you could book a room at a hotel near a big public park that has half a dozen long walking trails, a botanical garden, an outdoor rock-climbing wall, as well as miles of open space that you could use for bike rides, playing frisbee, or doing yoga.
If your hotel is, for example, one or two blocks away from a park like this, you'll spend far less of your vacation driving or traveling on buses to individual outdoor attractions that are scattered far and wide across the city or town and will, therefore, to be able to spend more of the vacation doing fun outdoorsy things instead. In the aforementioned scenario, you'd be able to visit the same nearby park several times without becoming bored of it, because during each visit you could do a different outdoor activity.
Ensure your luggage includes the items you'll need for attractions near the hotel
It's important to ensure that when you go on your vacation, you equip yourself with whatever items you'll need to enjoy the outdoor attractions that your hotel is near. For example, if the hotel will be near a park with lots of different outdoor facilities, you might want to take some walking boots so you can explore its trails, a frisbee or a soccer ball so you can play with them in the park's open spaces, a yoga mat if you're going to do some outdoor stretches, as well as a bike if you'd like to explore its botanical gardens on two wheels.
If you'll be bringing all of the above, you should also ensure the nearby hotel you book provides you with a room that has lots of storage for this equipment. If you arrive at your hotel equipped with these things, you won't have to spend any vacation days shopping for yoga mats, rocking climbing gear, or soccer balls, and can instead devote most of your time to being outside and having as much fun as possible. Furthermore, there will be no risk of you being unable to make utilize a particular outdoor facility, just because the stores in the area you're vacationing in don't stock the equipment you need to use it.
