The Benjamin in New York, NY 10022

This intimate, European-style hotel is known for its great service, elegance and comfort. The Benjamin is an excellent choice for families, even though it has a rep as a business hotel, with a fax-printer and high-speed internet access in every room. For kids, The Benjamin offers a very sweet Benjamin teddy bear, which can be requested in advance for the very reasonable price of $10.28 and will be waiting in the room to "surprise" its new owner. Cable channels include Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network and Discovery, and there are also in-room movies and video games to play. Each room or suite includes a galley kitchen, with a microwave and mini-bar, Bose-Wave radio, Aromatherapy bath products, Frette sheets and down-filled duvets. You can even choose from 10 different kinds of pillows! The in-house restaurant is An American Place, and room service runs 24 hours a day at predictably high prices.
