Four Seasons Hotel New York

With the Plaza going condo, what’s a visiting Eloise to do? Head to the Four Seasons, of course. This hotel group excels at pampering little ones. Call before you arrive, give the names and ages of your kids, and they will be welcomed with special amenities, appropriately sized robes, personalized sponges, board games, cookies, coloring books and complimentary toiletries (for babies). Kids' dishes are offered in the restaurant and on the room service menu, and the range of freebies is seemingly endless: childproofing, cribs and rollaways, Diaper Genies, bottle warmers, coloring books, crayons, board games and even strollers for perambulating Park and Madison Avenues. Take advantage of babysitting services while you hit the spa, and ask the concierge to help arrange carriage rides, museum tours and helicopter excursions. Best of all, there’s no extra charge for kids under eighteen to share a room with their folks.
