A Family Adventure in New York City

There’s no place quite like New York City. The lights of Times Square, the soaring skyscrapers, the endless buzz of people and yellow taxis. It’s a city that excites both kids and grown-ups the moment you arrive. Planning a family trip here is about more than just seeing the sights; it’s also about finding the right place to rest, recharge, and feel at home after a long day of adventures. Luckily, two Midtown Manhattan hotels — EVEN Hotel New York – Times Square South and Crowne Plaza Hudson Yards 36 — offer families just that, each with its own unique personality.

The EVEN Hotel New York – Times Square South is a dream for parents who love to balance wellness with travel. The hotel is designed to keep you energized and relaxed at the same time. Imagine starting your day with a stretch on the yoga mat provided right in your room or hopping on a Peloton bike in the 24-hour fitness studio. Even kids will love the chance to test out the exercise balls or try a few playful yoga poses. After exploring the city, families can wind down in the game room with a ping-pong or foosball match, or relax with the nightly tea service before drifting off to sleep in bamboo-soft linens. It’s a refreshing way to enjoy New York while still taking care of yourself.

Just a short walk away, the Crowne Plaza Hudson Yards 36 offers a different kind of retreat — chic, stylish, and filled with New York energy. The hotel’s sleek design and spacious rooms make it an inviting spot for families, and its location couldn’t be better. You’re steps from Hudson Yards, Madison Square Garden, and the High Line, which means every day’s adventure is just outside the door. When hunger strikes, the hotel’s Burgerology restaurant will quickly become a family favorite, thanks to its creative burgers that kids devour with smiles. Parents can relax in the outdoor beer garden while the little ones enjoy a fun treat, making it a spot where everyone feels happy and at ease.

And of course, no family trip to New York would be complete without a sky-high adventure. A visit to One World Observatory (OWO), perched atop One World Trade Center, offers breathtaking views of the city below.

New York can be overwhelming at times, but choosing the right place to stay makes all the difference. Whether you’re drawn to the wellness-focused atmosphere of EVEN Hotel or the vibrant style of Crowne Plaza, both properties give families a comfortable home base in the middle of the action. Pair your stay with unforgettable experiences like One World Observatory, and you’ll have the perfect mix of excitement, comfort, and discovery,  the recipe for a New York trip your family will never forget.
