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 Your Sophisticated Auntie’s Building

It’s not just the the lobby’s ceiling mural based on Raphael’s frescoes at the Vatican that makes The Sherry-Netherland feel like a visit to your very wealthy great aunt’s building. But don’t let the grandeur of this building fool you: There’s nothing too-adult about this New York City icon, which caters to kids who want to explore the city. Perfectly situated right across from the main entrance to Central Park, the Central Park Zoo, horse and carriage rides, bicycling, boating and ice skating, littlest guests will be gifted upon check-in with age-appropriate New York City-themed treats, from Hey Kids! Let’s Visit NYC (fun, facts and amazing discoveries for kids) to Sherry-Netherland sippy cups, NYPD cars and a card deck of City Walks — our idea of a perfect way to start a staycation.

Rates start at $499
