Best NYC Family Friendly Hotels

When booking New York City Hotels with kids, you want to make sure to get the most for your money and your children’s experience of NYC. While almost ANY hotel in NYC and surrounding areas is family-friendly, some hotels really stand out when welcoming your precious little ones. Here are a few of our top picks for family and kids hotels in NYC.

Fifty NYC New York City Hotels with Kids

The Fifty NYC has it all: great for kids, pets, fitness and free wine (for you) at happy hour!

• Discount Rates: Fifty NYC-an Affinia hotel

Recent Family Reviews:

• "We traveled to NYC as a family (2 adults, 2 kids) and loved our stay at Affinia 50."
• "…this was the perfect location and size for our family! We are a family of 4 and needed two queen beds which helped narrow it down!"
• "We can’t recommend this hotel enough. Great experience. Rooms were great….we wanted two queen beds because we were traveling with 2 teenage girls. Size of room was excellent for NYC. "

Just off a $19 million, top-to-bottom redesign, The Fifty is classified as a "residential hotel," catering to families and those looking for more of a stay that reminds them of home, with all the amenities of a hotel. Affinia’s large suites have a separate living area with sofa beds, and many rooms have full kitchens, ideal for a quick bite at home, especially if you order from NYC’s favorite grocery delivery service, FreshDirect. Affinia 50 offers cribs, strollers and high chairs upon request. Affinia offers an excellent range of packages that include discounts to the Children’s Museum of Manhattan and Chelsea Piers, which is bursting with kid’s activities.

The Plaza Hotel NYC Family Friendly Packages

Your own children’s concierge, dress up clothing in the closets and your choice of the Eloise Suite or Knights of The Plaza Package and many others!

• Discount Rates: The Plaza

Recent Family Reviews:

• "We stayed at the plaza hotel for 1 night over labor day weekend with our 1.5 year old daughter. This place is truly magical and lives up to its legacy."
• "I was a bit concerned that as a family of 4, the Edwardian Suite, rather than 2 rooms would be a bit cramped. This was not the case, as the living room was big enough to accommodate a double sofa bed and a fold away single bed. The suite comes with 2 bathrooms, the main one being very well specified."

Does The Plaza really need an introduction? This classic and Hollywood-famous hotel, offers 282 rooms, including 102 luxurious suites, which boast the largest square footage of any luxury hotel in New York City. Entertainment for kids is just about built in, knowing The Plaza was the home of Eloise and the Home Alone 2 movie. But the views of Central Park and the 30 second walk to get there, along with the famous Apple store are sure to appeal to even the most selective of NYC visitors.

Fifth Avenue at Central Park South, NY, NY 10019 (Midtown East)
