Fun Things To Do in a Hotel Room With Friends

1. Turn the room into a massage and beauty room if traveling with your girlfriends.

Thus fun activity is particularly for a group of girlfriends who have booked themselves in a hotel to have a good girl time away from the other distractions of their hectic lives. You could either invite professional masseuse for a good massage (if this is allowed by the hotel) or take turns giving yourselves a good massage. None of you needs to be a professional as the whole point is to have fun and bond together. You would all have a good laugh from your terrible skills if you have no massage experience. The time also allows you to catch up and tell stories.

Ladies love makeup and there is no better place and time to learn how to try on different shades of eyeliners and lipsticks and nail polish than during a holiday. So, rather than book for an expensive makeover/makeup time, why not turn your room into a beauty parlor and take turns making yourselves up. It would be loads of fun.

2. Throw a noiseless room party with your friends.

By noiseless, we mean not playing music as loud as you will normally play it at a party. Remember that as we said earlier, other hotel guests distaste noise, and you do not want to ruin your stay by being asked to leave because of noise.  

For your noiseless room party, you can liven it up by playing soulful music at an acceptable volume. Make it more fun by turning the room into a classic ballroom where you pair up with your friends for a slow dance routine. This fun activity is best for friends who are couples; like a double date or triple date night/holiday of sorts. It would certainly make the night more romantic and fun. 

If you are just a group of friends, you can still have a noiseless party where you order room service and sit around the center of your room to tell stories until you are all far spent into the night or day (depending on the hour you choose to have it); creating a sort of bonfire night but without the fire obviously.

Another fun noiseless party idea is to have a themed party of sorts. The easiest theme to go with would be a birthday theme. One or more of you can pretend it’s your birthday (or better yet the birthday of your friendship as a group), and use that as a good excuse to have a noiseless party to enjoy the hotel food, good music, good friends and just have an overall fun night at the hotel with your friends.   

3. Have a game night with your friends. 

Whether or not you are a group of just 3 friends or more, you can never go wrong with indoor games. There are several fun indoor games you could play with your friends, and these are our favorite picks: 

• Pictionary; 
• Charades; 
• Card games like poker, blackjack; 
• Board games like Scrabble and Chess; 
• Wastebasket basketball. This one is also fun. You can turn the hotel room waste bin into the hoop. Crumple up several papers into a ball shape and have fun trying to successfully throw the “basketball” into the “hoop”;
• You can also play other games that require no tools like Truth or Dare. 

4. Have a pillow fight.

No one is ever too old for a good old pillow fight. Release your inner child and get on the bed and have a good pillow fight with your friends. This is also a fun and exciting hotel game.

5. Watch people from your hotel room window.

You’re probably reading this and cringing. But it is actually not as creepy as it sounds. You can make a game out of it, and here is how you can do so. Come up with a hypothesis about the characters and personalities of the persons in the town your hotel is located. Then take a bet on who amongst you is right on their hypothesis. Your hypothesis could be something along the line of there are no hunks in the town or the town has more old people than young people or something along those lines, but you get the gist. Then sit by the window and count how many old people or young people pass through in the allocated time. You can have a good laugh while at it because you will be sue to see one or two curious characters pass by. This fun activity is a good way to pass time and also pay a little more attention to your surrounding and the people in it.  

6. Play fun fitness challenge games that are simple and can engage all your friends while you all still have a good laugh.

These simple fitness games include crunches, sit-ups, push-ups, jumping jacks, mountain climbs, burpees, and planks (front and sides). Maybe you and your friend are already in really good shape, or maybe one or some of your friends need to do a little work on getting a sexy ab or mid-section. Whatever the case, this would be fun. Challenge yourselves to who can do the most crunches and/or sit-ups and/or push-ups. Put a number to it to make it more fun and challenging. So say 50 crunches, and have a really good time laughing at yourselves and your general fit or unfit status. You can even record the whole charade for laughs after the holidays. 

7. Go on a hotel room tour and enjoy the facilities and value-added services that come with the room:

You can take your squad and give yourselves a good tour of your room(s) and its surrounding areas. You can make it fun by recording your experience and having one of you give the video a voice-over as you take the tour. 

After taking the tour, find out what value-added services come with the room and enjoy all of it. You have after all paid for it and should get the maximum value for your money.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

1. If the day is far spent, what fun things can you do at night in a hotel room, with as little noise and disturbance as possible?

Perhaps you either got to your hotel room a little too late to go out or you returned from an exciting day out and still want to continue the fun into the night in your hotel room, there are still fun things to do in a hotel room at night with your friends. Remember though, that your hotel room neighbors, as we earlier said do not want to be disturbed with noise and would therefore not accept any noise. 

Here are some fun noiseless activities you could still carry out in your hotel room at night before calling it a day:

Go online and challenge yourselves to play online games. 

Online games such as Psych, Plato, Mario Kart Tour, Scrabble Go, Spyfall. You and your buddies could do so with the hotel TV if it is a smart TV or just your mobile devices (cellphones and tablets or phablets).

These games would get you and your friends’ competitive sides on and would also engage your minds enough to make you fall asleep. Not to mention the fun you will have playing the games.

Binge-watch movies. 

If you and your squad still have space in your stomachs for more food or dessert, you could take the opportunity to order room service and sit in front of the television and enjoy the hotel’s cable television collection. If perhaps their collection isn’t to your satisfaction, you can simply use their Wifi and go online with your electronic gadgets and watch your favorite shows.

2. What to do when you’re bored in a hotel?

You cannot remain bored if you carry out any of the activities we have listed out above. If you are alone in a hotel room, pamper yourself with all that the hotel room has to offer, like soaking in a hot bath and enjoying the bath and then ordering room service and watching your favorite movies. Or awaken your inner writer and get writing. Or use the time to catch up with your friends through email, face-time calls, and other social platforms. And then get lots of sleep and rest on the hotel’s very comfortable and cozy bed.
