Located next to the World Trade Center, this hotel attracts many business people, but families will find some charm as well. Younger kids and parents will appreciate the small swimming pool (and its 3-foot depth), though teens hoping to dive in may be disappointed. Because the hotel is in a more business-oriented part of the city, it’s definitely quieter — but attractions like the Queen Mary and the aquarium are a 10-minute walk away. If that’s too far for families with young children, the complimentary hotel shuttle is a good solution. Rooms come with mini-fridges and there’s 24-hour access to an onsite pantry market to appeal to hungry kids and teens.
