"Best for: TeensNeighborhood: Brooklyn Heights While we may not recommend Brooklyn Heights as the best headquarters for your first trip to New York City, this lush enclave near the Brooklyn Bridge is an ideal location for those who have a few visits under their belts. Teens, especially, will love the rooftop pool at this eco-friendly hotel; and don’t worry, parents, there is a lifeguard on duty. Bigger kids and teens will also appreciate that some rooms, like the Bridge Suite, can be connected to adjoining rooms to give everyone more privacy. The hotel also runs family-friendly programming for all ages, including their Bubbles & Bubbles event, which includes a music class for children and Champagne for guests of legal drinking age (get it?). This neighborhood is also one of the best for kids, with everything from Jane’s Carousel to the gorgeous Brooklyn Bridge Park, to Time Out Market New York, all only a few minutes’ walk from the hotel.
