Mother Daughter Trips | NYC Hotel Staycation
Mother-Daughter Trips are one of the best things about being a mom. When I travel alone with my daughter it’s us against the world. She often gives me glimpses of what kind of person she’s growing into. We rely on one another and learn to respect each others space. The three weeks we spent alone in Hoi An, Vietnam is some of my fondest memories we’ve shared in 3 years of traveling. Recently craving an escape but unwilling to pull the trigger on plane tickets I opted for a NYC hotel staycation.
Hotel Staycation? Choose luxury
The luxurious Conrad New York hosted our hotel Staycation and honestly, it set the bar pretty high for future mother-daughter trips. Housed in a LEED-certified building with sweeping views of the waterfront and within walking distance of a few of the best things to do in downtown Manhattan. I loved the Conrad New York’s attention to detail at every step, from their in-room recycling bins down to the tiny plush bull mascots they leave on the bed for the smallest visitors they think of everything.
Eat
I love a good spread, they make mornings feel like mornings in the lap of luxury. When the hotel we’re staying at does not include breakfast in the rate I find the nearest supermarket and stock up. If I’m in a US city I find the nearest wholefoods. Waking up to fresh squeezed juices, croissants and organic fruit is the only way to start your days right during a hotel staycation. Platters also make snack time a breeze with day-long grazing.
There is a Wholefoods nearby that is only a five-minute walk away serving an array of food options for any meal, including ready-made platters if that is your choice. In addition to the normal prepared meal options Wholefoods Markets are known to boast, they even have a full-service dessert bar full of warm brownies in more options than you knew existed, perfect for an evening treat.
Mother Daughter Trips are better with friends
Do
Get Pampered! one of the best ways to be transported is to be pampered. We had in-room manicures and pedicures from Green Spa on the Go The mobile spa worked wonders on relaxing and pampering us both. Noon picked her red and got her first pedicure.
Explore
I think the best way to get the most out of a hotel Staycation is to stay in a part of the city you haven’t explored yet, or pick a place in the middle of things you love. Lower Manhattan is ripe with fun activities in walking distance to from Conrad New York, for the whole family. Saturday morning we got dressed and headed across to Brookfield place for the Saturday Morning Show a variety show aimed at little ones but fun for the whole family.
