THE CARLYLE, A Rosewood Hotel
After busy days, you’ll appreciate The Carlyle’s genteel, “home away from home” ambience, and artful calm. Your children will too, especially when you tell them that the hotel’s Bemelmans Bar boasts the only surviving public murals of Ludwig Bemelmans, creator of the children’s classic Madeline. Superbly positioned on Madison Avenue, you are within easy reach of Manhattan’s “Museum Mile.”

THE MARK, NEW YORK
There is a kind of brightness and champagne effervescence we think you and your family will notice when stepping into The Mark on the Upper East Side. The service is subtle, discreet and unpretentious. The rooms and suites, no two of which are the same, offer a stylish, happy blend of neo-classical, Italian and art deco design. And, important for families, The Mark’s bathrooms are some of the largest in New York. The Met, Central Park and Madison Avenue are just out your door, but The Mark is so delightful, it’s hard to leave.

THE RITZ-CARLTON NEW YORK, CENTRAL PARK
Not content with simply a great location for kids (just across the street from Central Park, a stone’s throw from the pond where Stuart Little raced his tiny sailboat), the ladies and gentlemen at the Ritz-Carlton, Central Park know what makes a family holiday tick. They’ll call you before arrival to make sure your family’s check-in goes smoothly. They have a technology butler on staff 24/7 in case your kids are busy and can’t help you set up your computer.

THE ST. REGIS HOTEL, NEW YORK
Though you may not have a personal butler at home, that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy one on your vacation. Stay at the landmark St. Regis Hotel in midtown, choose the special family package, and meet your Maitre d’Etage, on duty to provide personal service at any hour. When it is time to leave your suite (which is so hard to do ... the accommodations are magnificent), your butler can help launch the perfect family day in Manhattan, perhaps with a cup of tea. Funny how quickly having a butler changes from a luxury to a necessity.

THE TOWERS AT THE NEW YORK PALACE HOTEL
Ahh, a palace the family can call home. After all, the Villards did. Built by financier Henry Villard in 1882 as his private residence, Midtown’s New York Palace Hotel offers all the comforts of home ... that is, if your home has a 7,000-square-foot Spa and Fitness Center overlooking St. Patrick’s Cathedral. The rooms here are some of the largest in New York, and the location puts your family in the heart of it all.
