East Coast Travel
The Top Family-friendly Resorts for Family Fun
By Elisa Ast All
Find out more about the resort at www.disneyworld.com.
New York City is, arguably, the center of the world for fashion, business and culture. With its historical significance, outstanding museums and soaring architecture, it draws tourists by the millions. While New York might not immediately come to mind for a family vacation, many families visit this thriving mecca every year. And when they do, many choose to stay at one of the best hotels in the city, The Four Seasons. And with good reason.
Located between Park and Madison Avenues, the Four Seasons towers over Manhattan's elite shopping and business district. Designed by famed architect I.M. Pei, the Four Seasons offers striking views of the city that make you feel as if you are on top of the world. And as you relax in some of the most decadent accommodations available anywhere, you realize that you truly are.
Impeccable rooms and gracious service aside, the Four Seasons is best recognized for its attention to children. Kids are welcomed to the Four Seasons with a complimentary toy and delightful treat, such as chocolate-dipped strawberries and oven-fresh cookies with milk. There are even child-sized robes and slippers, kid-friendly toiletries and a generous children's menu.
Never far away is the resourceful concierge, who is on hand to recommend fun family activities and even make reservations for you. If you need a break (check out the fabulous spa!), babysitting also can be arranged. Feel free to request complimentary cribs and baby gear, rollaway beds and even crayons and coloring books.
Contact the Four Seasons at 212-758-5700 or www.fourseasons.com.
