This is a Video Review of a Park Hyatt New York Terrace Suite and a One Bedroom City View Suite. Both suites are 1000 square feet, and both can connect to a Deluxe King Room (some 1 BR City View Suites can also connect to Deluxe Rooms with 2 double beds). This makes them ideal for families who want extra space, with a separate living room area.
A single suite could also work well for a family with one child, since a crib or extra rollaway bed can be placed in the living area (note that the sofa is not a sofa bed, so for a proper bed, a rollaway will be needed; it is complimentary for all suites).
The Terrace Suite (but not the 1 BR City View Suite, which used to be known as a West Side Suite) also qualifies for complimentary sedan roundtrip airport transfers from any of NYC's three airports, JFK, LGA and EWR.

The Verdict
The One Bedroom City View Suite and the Terrace Suite are about double the size of the smaller entry level King Rooms, so it's not surprising that the 1 BR City View Suites are often a little more than double the price of entry level rooms. There's a steep premium for the Terrace Suites, for their outdoor space, which is most valuable in spring, summer and fall, to be able to enjoy an al fresco breakfast or even romantic dinner. As there are only 4 Terrace Suites, there are very few upgrades to them, so for clients that really want one, I recommend reserving it outright.
It's a little surprising to me that none of the suites offer a sofa bed, such that a rollaway will be needed if one guest will be sleeping in the living area. Still, the half bathroom makes this a viable option, and a suite can be especially good for a family with a baby or young child who can be put to sleep early in the darkened living room, while the parents watch a movie in the bedroom.
Interesting. Wish I had known the rollaway was complimentary in the suites. Our son just slept on the couch, which was fine enough. We had a city view connecting to a double and it was great for our family of five
Yes, it’s interesting that guests do have to pay for a rollaway in rooms, even for kids, while a rollaway is complimentary in suites. Most hotels, if they allow a rollaway in the room at all, will make it complimentary for kids under a certain age and not make the charge dependent on the room/suite type. Most kids have the amazing ability to sleep anywhere, so glad your son was comfortable on the couch and that you had a great stay.
