Booking a hotel for me and snorer DH

My DH and I are planning a city break next year. It will be the first time it's been just the two of us for many years. DH snores very loudly and I am not a tolerant sleeper. We have happily had separate bedrooms for many years.

Our family holidays have always been booked with enough rooms for us to sleep separately. That's always been important as I would dread the idea of sleeping with him. It would spoil my anticipation of the holiday.

Has anyone else been in this situation? What do you do when you go on a city break? Do you book 2 rooms (very expensive) Or do you book a suite so there's a couch to move to in another room (this is what we did on a recent family city break)? Or do you book air b&bs?

We're now coming to a stage in our lives when we have more freedom so I want to figure out how to manage this.

I would just get a 2 bed AirBnB

Same. 2 bedroom Airbnb. Or a one bedroom with a sofabed in the living room, if he’s the type who can sleep anywhere.

To be honest we generally book airbnbs on city breaks anyway. Hotels generally cost more and I don’t need hotel services when we’re going to be out all day anyway.

We had a 2 bed apartment even on our honeymoon!

Always two bed apartments.
I wouldn’t go if we had to share a room, the last time we did (for a wedding) I slept in the bath!

Or a suite, and ear plugs. Or a family room (the kid goes in a separate room with an ajoining door.
With absolute respect, please ask him to see a GP. I know someone who snored and they had some health issues which got sorted out. It's not just that he doesn't snore now (which is a win), he actually had some things that would have been very serious if ignored. Sorry, you didn't ask for this. But if you, or anyone else, reads it and it helps someone, it's worth the 30 seconds it took to type.

Thanks all. Nice to know we're not the only ones!

@Pistachiocake thank you, he's been to the GP, and the sleep clinic. He's in good health, if overweight. But I appreciate that snoring can be indicative of something more sinister.
