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 A Times Square Retreat

The Knickerbocker is one of those boutique hotels that offers the best of both worlds. It’s located right in the heart of Times Square in an iconic landmark building but it’s also just steps from the action (read: costumed characters like Elmo and SpongeBob) that you may avoid year-round but will get a kick out of for an overnight. The in-hotel restaurant, Charlie Palmer at the Knick, is surprisingly child-friendly with yummy breakfast, lunch and dinner menu items to please even the pickiest of kids. Best of all, The Knick ( where the staff is happy to send up no-tear bath amenities, PlayStation and coloring books) is half a block from Bryant Park. You and the entire family will easily fill your days with activities here, thanks to the Parisian-style carousel, putting green, ping pong tables, reading area and board games at the ready to borrow.

Rates start at $395/night
