NYC Hotels for a Family of 5

The Short Answer

Our top pick is Hotel Beacon on the Upper West Side. Its 630-square-foot Double Suite has two double beds in the bedroom and a queen pull-out sofa in the living room, accommodates up to five, and has a kitchenette; the hotel charges no facility or resort fee and has a guest laundry room.

• Two separate rooms: Hotel Belleclaire, a couple of blocks north on Broadway, has a Family Suite for six with a king bedroom and a second room with two full beds.
• Midtown on a budget: Radio City Apartments, between Times Square and Rockefeller Center, has one-bedroom apartments for four guests plus one child 12 or under, with a kitchenette.
• A splurge: The Langham, New York, Fifth Avenue has an 840-square-foot Family Room for five guests.

What to Check Before You Book

• Age limits on the fifth guest. Radio City Apartments' one-bedroom takes four guests plus one child 12 or under, and its two-bedroom takes five plus one child.
• Rollaways and extra beds. Hotel Beacon charges extra for a rollaway, so ask when you book; The Langham offers an extra bed on request.
• Book the right room type. Belleclaire's Deluxe 2 Queen rooms sleep four, and so do the Shelburne Sonesta's studios; only the family suite and two-bedroom apartments take more.
• Babies and cribs. Hotels count infants differently, and most room pages don't say. Ask before you book if a baby will sleep in a crib. Our guide to what "sleeps 5" means covers the other common catches.
• Chains. Loews also runs four of the hotels in our Universal Orlando guide, and our hotel chains guide compares how brands handle five.

Getting to Manhattan from the Airports

• From JFK: about 35 to 75 minutes by car to Midtown, and a little longer to the Upper West Side, depending on traffic.
• From LaGuardia (LGA): about 25 to 45 minutes by car to Midtown or the Upper West Side.
• With five and luggage: a standard sedan may be a squeeze, so consider booking a larger car in advance.
