Family-Friendly Restaurants in NYC!
Between visiting museums, zoos and other attractions in NYC with the family, you have to take a break to eat!

Goodnight Moon: A Quiet Night with the Library Hotel Collection

Here at the Library Hotel, we have a copy of Margaret Wise Brown’s famous children’s bedtime story in our Fairy Tales room on the Literature Floor. Rest assured that you’ll enjoy a peaceful night of rest at any of our Library Hotel Collection properties, even if your mom is not around to read to you!

Meet Kornél Magyar, Musical Director of the Aria Hotel Budapest
A very special and unique position demands a very special person to fill the role. For guests at the Aria Hotel, our Musical Director, Kornél Magyar, is an ambassador of music and culture, and all things Hungarian.

Whether you are looking to see a New York Classic such as On the Town and the Lion King, or you would rather an ‘adults only show’ like Cabaret or Kinky Boots, there are many different ways to purchase these tickets.
