Age and kids policy: what families should know
New York Marriott Marquis welcomes guests of all ages; the property is family-friendly and children are allowed. The lead guest checking in must be at least 21 years old — that minimum applies to the person registering the reservation, not to children accompanying adults.

Check-in age and what it means for families
The hotel’s stated minimum age to check in is 21. That means the person who signs for the room must be at least 21 and present with photo ID and a credit card; families with younger adults or parents and children can still stay when a qualifying guest checks in.
Children of all ages are welcome at New York Marriott Marquis. The property specifically markets itself as family-friendly rather than adults-only.
- Lead guest must be 21+ with photo ID and credit card at check-in.
- Families with infants, children, and teens may stay once checked in.
- Service animals are accepted; pets are not (service animals excepted).

| Children allowed | All ages welcome |
| Pets | Not allowed (service animals excepted) |
