Make Family Time Fun as Four Seasons Hotel New York Creates the Perfect Family Getaway

This summer, families can have a private tour of a museum, discover their Ellis Island ancestry, or star in their own live action film – complete with a movie crew, special effects, costumes and stylists. Ideally located in Midtown Manhattan, family adventures abound at Four Seasons Hotel New York.

Making family time easy and enjoyable, Four Seasons Hotel New York has thought of everything that the family will need from cribs to engaging activities.  The Hotel features an array of amenities that the entire family will enjoy.  Highlights include:

Children 2 and Under: The Hotel provides complimentary cribs; child-proofing in the room or suite; a New York theme welcome amenity; a Four Seasons cap or sunhat (depending on the season); and a New York t-shirt – perfect for commemorating baby’s first trip to The Big Apple.

Children 3 and 12: Four Seasons Hotel New York is owned by the world’s largest plush maker, and so no visit to New York would be complete without a visit to the Hotel’s Gift Shop.  Stocked with every imaginable plush toy from TY Inc., each young guest ages 3-12 is invited for a Plush Tour right when they arrive. Additionally, should Mom and Dad agree, each young guest is encouraged to make their own selection – with the Hotel’s compliments of course.

Once the young guests arrive to their parent’s room or suite, they will discover their own personalised welcome amenity; a Four Seasons robe and slipper set, ready for use during their stay; and a Four Seasons baseball cap and New York t-shirt that they are invited to take home and enjoy for seasons to come.   

Teens Ages 13-17: Four Seasons Hotel New York realises that it’s all about access - to technology that is.  The Hotel has not missed a beat when it comes to welcoming teenagers.  Each guest of Four Seasons Hotel New York receives complimentary access to standard Wi-Fi (when they reserve a guest room) or premium Wi-Fi (when they reserve a suite). However, should a guest wish to “take a walk on the wild side” and enjoy something truly special, each of the Hotel’s newly renovated guest rooms and suites has been appointed with a thoughtfully curated library.  Four Seasons encourages its guests to curl up and read from its selections – no battery pack required.

Lastly, it should come as no surprise that teens care about comfort.  When at Four Seasons Hotel New York, teens are each welcomed to the City that Never Sleeps with a Four Seasons robe and slipper set, ready for use during their stay; and a Four Seasons baseball cap and New York t-shirt that they are invited to take home.

Expert Concierge Recommendations

New York City can be intimidating for the uninitiated. In fact, Four Seasons Hotel New York believes that no family should visit without expert advice.  Poised and ready to provide such advice, when needed, is the Hotel’s Les Clefs d'Or concierge team lead by Chef Concierge Josephine Danielson, a Four Seasons Hotel New York veteran since 1994. When asked about ways that she has helped keep families entertained, Danielson reveals:

“Children’s activities in New York City are endless and my team loves a challenge.  We have booked private tours of the Metropolitan Museum of Art; a Night at the Museum style sleepover at the American Natural History Museum; hard hat tours of Ellis Island; and private baking classes with our Executive Pastry Chef Jasmina Bojic.  Each time a family approaches us, we want to deliver on our promise to surprise and delight: surprise in the discovery of something new and delight in how easy it was to plan.”

“I am frequently asked,” continues Danielson, “what I would recommend if I could only recommend one activity.  Without hesitation, I always recommend Four Seasons Red Carpet Kids program.  Gone are the days of the family photo album. With Red Carpet Kids, we help families star in their own action films complete with movie crew, special effects, costumes and stylists.  With the amount of production work that is done in New York, Red Carpet Kids is a quintessential to New York experience.  I imagine a young Woody Allen being proud!”
