Le Parker Meridien
The spacious rooms and suites and great location makes Le Parker Meridien a great pick for families. What kid wouldn't like riding in elevators where they can watch cartoons or playing in the pool in the heart of the Big Apple. Take the kids for a ride on the Carousel at Central Park, right by the hotel, or maybe they'd like to chat with the animals at Central Park Zoo. The possibilities are endless at Le Parker Meridien.

This hotel is conveniently located just two blocks to Rockefeller Plaza and Radio City Music Hall, and eight blocks to Central Park. Fifth Avenue shopping is right outside your door.
