Why I picked it
For families who want to be right in the middle of it all without feeling cramped, The Knickerbocker is a polished Midtown stay with just enough thoughtful touches to make traveling with kids feel easy. Set in a historic Beaux-Arts building at the edge of Times Square, the location is hard to beat for first-time visits, with subway access just steps away.
Rooms and suites offer comfortable layouts for families, including pull-out sofa beds, and kids are welcomed with small but meaningful extras like toys, colouring books, and milk and cookies on arrival. Parents will appreciate the rooftop terrace for a moment of calm above the city, while still being within walking distance of major attractions. It’s a great balance of classic New York charm and family-friendly convenience.
