Here are some of hotels that Trekaroo families are recommending for our next visit to New York City with the kids.
Best Family-Friendly Hotel in NYC (Editor’s Choice) – Hotel Beacon
For our last vacation hooray this summer, we stayed at the Hotel Beacon on the Upper West Side. I was blown away! I’ve got a 2 year old son, so I wanted to stay in the Upper West Side to make it easy to get to the Children’s Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, Central Park and more. The Hotel Beacon was within easy walking distance to all the mentioned attractions and the price just made it all the better.
What’s to love
- Location, location, location (top NYC family attraction within walking distance, easy subway access, grocery store across the street, yummy restaurants all around)
- Newly renovated large suites (bathrooms are separate and not attached to bedrooms)
- Fully equipped kitchens in all rooms (standard and suites)
- Price ($245 for a one-bedroom suite Sun/Mon, $295/night Tue-Sat)
- Service
What’s not to love
- The fact that it was sold out when we wanted to extend our stay. Bummer!
For my full review, go to Hotel Beacon. To check on availability and current rates at the Hotel Beacon.
