There’s an excitement to being in New York nowhere else in the USA can match. Crammed with classic screen-famous sights – from honking yellow taxis to the elegant Empire State Building – a wander around the Big Apple’s streets and neighbourhoods, which feel like a giant real-life movie set, ticking them off, is the ultimate NYC thrill in itself.

These are the best hotels for families in New York.
