One of the things I love about summer is the freedom to pick up and go create memories. Next week, two of my boys and I are headed out to have an adventure in New York City! We will be exploring tons of great kid-friendly attractions and will be setting up home base at two gorgeous hotels that I can’t wait to explore!
We were invited to go check “in” at two of the Library Hotel Collection hotels, the Hotel Giraffe and Casablanca Hotel. We are so excited to see what these hotels have to offer.
The Library Hotel Collection is a handful of hotels, mainly located in New York City, with some located internationally. Each hotel boasts a spectacular location perfect for gallivanting around the city. Each is a unique boutique hotel with much to offer travelers, whether they are visiting with their families, getting away with their spouse, or traveling alone.


Hotel Giraffe is located near Madison Square Park, a peaceful area of the city I haven’t been able to explore much before, but one I look forward to getting acquainted with. As is customary with The Library Hotel Collection, complimentary breakfast, wi-fi, snacks and even a wine and cheese reception each evening are offered as part of your stay.
Casablanca Hotel is located in the heart of Times Square, where we will be sure to see and do many fun activities in the hustle and bustle of this section of the city that never sleeps. However, we most certainly will get a great night’s sleep in the comfort of the gorgeous suites available at this luxury hotel!


This hotel has a complimentary breakfast, free wi-fi, and snacks available all day long, exactly what a blogger traveling with kids needs!
Be sure to check back in next week to hear our experiences at the hotels and about our adventures in the city!
*we were invited to come and stay at these above mentioned hotels to facilitate a review.

Love the clever use of red in that one room. Enough to make a statement but not over power the room.

You are going to love it there. I grew up in Brooklyn and had all my kids in the city, well except for my toddler who was born in CO. Just went back for a quick trip a few weeks ago because I missed it so much. Make sure to try and visit the Bronx Zoo. It is totally free on Wednesdays. 🙂
They look really nice. I can’t wait to hear how your trip went.
Have a wonderful time. I have New York on my bucket list believe it or not. Thanks for sharing.

I love complimentary breakfast at a hotel, it saves so much money and is far more relaxing than having to go out to get it. Everything looks great here.
Only been there a couple times but I like NYC. Almost as much as Chicago:)
