Unless you work in Times Square, it can be easy to forget that NYC is a major family tourist destination. The city’s hotels, however, do not, and that’s good news for both resident and visiting clans. Whether you’re planning a staycation, researching a fantasy birthday experience or want some out of town kids to get the white glove treatment, these spots go out of their way to offer over-the-top amenities and other goodies for junior guests. Click through to see NYC’s most kid-friendly hotels!

For Pool Time and Burgers

There’s absolutely no need to pop out of town when there’s Le Parker Meridien, a hotel with a definite resort feel, right here overlooking Central Park. The upstairs pool ( where a lifeguard is always on duty) is a New York City gem with unparalleled views. Even better: there’s an observation deck atop the glass roof of the pool which makes it seem like you’re walking atop the swimmers. And what can we say about Norma’s, the in-hotel restaurant: No kids’ menu, no matter. It’s pricey for sure, but so fun. We promise your kids’ eyes will bug out when they see the portions of such original dishes as Donut Even Go There French Toast (cheesecake-stuffed, coconut-rolled with orange drizzle and vanilla ice cream). Tip: Breakfast is served all-day long and, believe us, this is an eminently shareable dish!
