"Best for: Affordable roomsNeighborhood: Flatiron One of our favorite family-friendly hotels in New York is also one of the most affordable: Freehand is easy on the wallet and the eyes, thanks to its chic interior design courtesy of powerhouse firm Roman and Williams. Aside from a super convenient location in Flatiron (the subway is only a block away, and Madison Square Park is two), we love this hotel’s unique “high occupancy” rooms, which can fit three or four people in a combination of regular and bunk beds. The “quad,” with four twin beds in two bunks, is a dream for any kids on holiday. And when everyone needs a bit of a breather from a day of sightseeing, head to the rooftop between 4 to 6 p.m.; those hours are reserved for all-age parties, and there is a full selection of mocktails for the kids. Address: 23 Lexington Ave, New York, NY 10010"
