You may want to pack extra: these once-standard comforts are on the chopping block.

If you’ve grown used to free air conditioning, endless towel swaps, and breakfast buffets piled high, your next European vacation might look a little different.

While the planet may benefit, travelers could see some beloved comforts scaled back or disappear entirely. These hotel perks could become rare—or vanish altogether—as climate-conscious laws reshape the European travel experience.
