21 Best Family Hotels in New York City of 2019 – That All Ages Love!
The post first published at https://familydestinationsguide.com/best-family-hotels-new-york-city/
New York City is an ideal spot for a family vacation because of the number of attractions and activities that it has to offer to all age groups.
From world-class museums and expansive parks to global cuisine that will leave you wanting more, there is never going to be a time when you run out of things to do.
When you are traveling with kids, a city like NYC is best enjoyed when you set up a base at a centrally located property that is designed to host families.
Here, I have compiled a list of the best family hotels in New York for you to choose from!
It is difficult to go wrong with a Four Seasons property and this particular one is one of my favorite family-friendly hotels in NYC.
Not only will this upscale accommodation option give you chic rooms to rest at night, but the staff here will also go out of their way to ensure that your kids are having a good time at the property.
In addition to fun perks like child-sized robes and slippers, coloring books and DVDs, the hotel can also provide a wide range of baby-proofing material, bottle warmers, strollers, baby monitors and so on.
If your kids are older, they may enjoy the different tours that the property puts together especially for children.
But this isn’t just a fun hotel for kids. For the mom and dad’s night out, babysitting services can also be used – so you can have some fun and relaxation too!
If you prefer the feel of understated luxury where each room is impeccably designed with exclusive murals — shout out to the Bard College — Freehand New York near the iconic Flatiron district is the right option for you.
This child-friendly property has a wide range of accommodation options, ranging from basic rooms and suites to a special kind of room that has a twin bed bunked over a queen bed.
You could also opt for the room with two sets of twin bunks, depending on the size of your family.
The hotel has a couple of on-site restaurants for you to choose from and a coffee shop for those caffeine requirements.
The location is quite central with Madison Square Park and Shake Shack just 5 mins by foot.
Many travelers prefer to stay around the Upper West Side as it is a great place to stay in New York with kids.
One of the best options in this area is Hotel Beacon, primarily because of its central location — you can walk down to Lincoln Center, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park and a bunch of other top attractions — and because of the comfortable one-bedroom and two-bedroom suites that the hotel has to offer.
The best part about these suites is that they come with small kitchens, which can be used to prepare meals for the times when you don’t want to step out.
Gansevoort in the Meatpacking District is one of the most popular options for people who don’t want to compromise on style when they are visiting New York with kids.
The location is spectacular, with the Whitney Museum of American Art, the High Line, Hudson River Park’s bike paths and a bunch of playgrounds within walking distance from the property.
The hotel itself offers a wide range of amenities for families with kids, for example, cribs, wipes, diapers, baby toiletries and strollers.
If your kids are slightly older, they may enjoy the free Nintendo Wii video game systems as well as the heated rooftop pool, which is otherwise a rarity in the city.
Situated less than five minutes from Central Park, the location of this hotel is what sets it apart from a bunch of different options for family-friendly hotels in NYC.
If you are looking to cover a number of different museums on your trip, for example, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Guggenheim and the Museum of the City of New York to name a few.
You have a few options in terms of accommodation, with two-room family suites with a kitchenette or regular rooms with a sleeper sofa for the kids to sleep comfortably.
There is a lovely lounge on the second floor of the hotel, as well as a rooftop terrace for you to watch the city’s skyline as the sun goes down.
Lotte New York Palace may be considered synonymous with luxury in the city, but that doesn’t mean that the kids will feel out of place at this property.
If you choose to go in for the “Little Royals” package offered by this hotel, your children will be able to experience the life of royalty, even taking home a princess of knight costume when the trip is over.
As a family, it may be recommended that you opt for the two-room suites, which come with large bathtubs for those bubble baths.
After a full day out and about in the city, the parents can also avail of the services of the luxury hotel’s spa for a refreshing massage.
Another good family hotel in New York City is Loews Regency New York, located a stone’s throw away from Central Park and all its fantastic attractions like the Zoo and a range of playgrounds.
The accommodation is very comfortable and sleek, with the option to choose between the standard rooms and larger suites for families that are planning to stay for long.
If you are worried about whether or not your tykes and tots will have enough to do, you just need to sign them up for the Loews Loves Kids and Teens programs, that run for kids of all ages.
The staff can also help arrange a babysitter for the nights that the parents want to step out for some alone time.
Times Square is one of those iconic areas that each and every tourist in NYC has to see once before leaving.
If you really want to get the feeling of the place, you can choose to stay at the Millennium Times Square New York by choosing between the regular, basic rooms or the family-friendly suites.
Your children will especially love this property, primarily because of the Ask Alfred program, where all the little ones will get kid-friendly toiletries, jelly beans when they check in, a teddy bear to keep, as well as kid-friendly menus for those hunger pangs.
The mom and dad can also get some time off while the kids stay engaged.
If you and your family want to spend some time watching some of the iconic shows on Broadway, The Muse Hotel in the Theater District may be the ideal choice for you.
This hotel is unique as it lays equal emphasis on being parent friendly, kid friendly, as well as pet friendly, for times when you are traveling with your furry family members.
While the little ones get a welcome gift when you check-in, parents can request cribs, get complimentary bikes or yoga mats, enjoy the nightly wine receptions offered by the property, or simply go sweat it out at the gym.
You can also avail of the hotel’s babysitting services.
Staying in Manhattan with your family may seem like the only option when you first visit NYC, but over time, you tend to realize that the real life of local New Yorkers can only be experienced across the Brooklyn Bridge.
The NU Hotel at Boerum Hill gives you the most authentic experience of living in NYC, as you take on the family-friendly neighborhood with the kids in tow.
The hotel offers a “Bunk Bed Room” with a queen bed and twin bunk beds, which is ideal lodging for a small family traveling together.
In addition to the free Wi-Fi and breakfast, you can also get bikes to explore the neighborhood. The Brooklyn-themed coloring book given to kids is an interesting add-on.
Omni Berkshire Place is an interesting choice for family-friendly accommodation in Midtown East, mostly because of its proximity to some of the major areas that you may be interested in.
The kids seem to be particularly fond of this property because of all the pampering they get from the Omni Kids Crew at the hotel.
This includes an interesting goodie bag at check-in, which includes activity books, crayons, games and binoculars.
The kids will also enjoy the cookies and milk that is sent across for them on the first night.
The parents can enjoy their evenings on one of the nine terraces that the hotel has to offer.

When you are traveling with kids, a city like NYC is best enjoyed when you set up a base at a centrally located property that is designed to host families.
Here, I have compiled a list of the best family hotels in New York for you to choose from!
1. Four Seasons Hotel New York — Midtown East
It is difficult to go wrong with a Four Seasons property and this particular one is one of my favorite family-friendly hotels in NYC.
