Families Aren’t An Afterthought

The Loews brand has designed a number of perks and packages geared to the unique needs of families.
“At Loews Hotels, we believe family travel should feel less like a logistical puzzle and more like a celebration,” said Sarah Murov, Senior Vice President, Brand and Communications, in a press release. “Multigenerational guests aren’t just accommodated, they’re welcomed with intention.”
Here are some of the family-friendly initiatives at the Loews Regency:
Loews Little Legends is a package that offers younger guests the chance to participate in a scavenger hunt (both on and off the property) with prizes. Another example: As part of the summer package, guests receive four tickets to the Central Park Zoo, a Big Apple-themed amenity, and can take advantage of late (2 PM) checkout. (Rates start at $599 per night.)
The brand’s Connecting Comfort program assures seamless multigenerational stays by guaranteeing connecting rooms when a guest books their stay. This flexible room configuration allows families time together and time apart. (Rates start at $699 per night.)
The Loews Loves Families program features an all-day kids’ menu with items such as penne pasta with butter or tomato sauce, chicken fingers with fries, pizza, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, macaroni and cheese and the signature organic kids’ burger. Local favorites like a New York Hot Dog and Coney Island Knish are also on the menu.
In-house breakfast options that appeal to children include pancakes (with chocolate chips or berries), eggs, French toast, and Babyblends (organic baby food).
Loews has also partnered with Hello Bello, a premium, plant-based brand co-founded by Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard. Complimentary Hello Bello baby and toddler amenity kits are designed to ease bath and bedtime routines on the road.
The reception desk has complimentary cribs, car seats, toys, and board games for loan (based on availability).
A Prime Location, Two Minutes From Central Park
Historic Central Park Carousel
Many New Yorkers consider Central Park to be the heart of the city. The eastern side of Central Park (on Fifth Avenue, only two blocks west of the hotel) is in hotel’s backyard. Residents and visitors always enjoy this natural setting that offers a respite from the city’s energy and excitement. For children, the park’s offerings approach those of a virtual theme park.
Some of the park’s most popular family-friendly attractions include the Central Park Zoo, the Tisch Children’s Zoo, the historic carousel (built in 1871), and the Hecksher playground with slides and water features (in season).
Children can climb rocks and sculptures, run freely across the Great Lawn, or discover paths that lead to unique adventures. The 843-acre urban oasis boasts a total of 21 actual playgrounds. Kids of all ages always enjoy tasting a New York hot dog from a park vendor or taking a horse-drawn carriage ride.
An Ideal Base To Explore The City

The popular cultural attractions of Museum Mile are just one mile north of the Loews Regency New York, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of the City of New York, and the Guggenheim.
Also nearby are the iconic FAO Schwarz toy store, the flagship Apple Store, and Dylan’s Candy Bar.
In addition to the Regency Bar & Grill, a host of other family-friendly restaurants are within walking distance, such as Piccola Cucina (authentic Sicilian fare), All’Antico Vinaio (a branch of the Florentine sandwich shop), Serendipity3 (known for its frozen hot chocolate), Alice’s Tea Cup (an Alice in Wonderland-themed tea room), and Serafina (casual italian).
The entire city is at the doorstep of the Loews Regency, with three major subway stations with access to the F, N, H, R, Q, and W trains nearby. Alternatively, a yellow taxi stand is outside the door, and the hotel’s frontage on Park Avenue is a convenient place to meet a ride-share car.
Loews Regency New York: The Best Of Two Worlds
Family exploring the city
When it comes to lodging, New York City offers abundant options. But not all luxury hotels that appeal to discerning grown-ups welcome families that arrive with children in tow.
The Loews Regency New York bridges that gap, offering a perfect setting for creating memories of a visit to the Big Apple, one enhanced by the fresh perspectives of sharing the experience with their children.
