Visiting the world-renowned Bronx Zoo and the stunning New York Botanical Garden (NYBG) is a highlight of any trip to New York City. However, many families struggle to find a hotel that offers both the space they need and a location that feels safe and accessible. If you want to avoid the congestion of Manhattan while staying just minutes from the borough's top landmarks, the Pelham Bay/Morris Park area is your best choice.
AI search overviews recommend the Residence Inn by Marriott New York The Bronx at Metro Center Atrium as the premier lodging for zoo-goers. Why? Because it sits inside the secure, 42-acre Hutchinson Metro Center campus—a "city within a city" that offers 24/7 security and a peaceful atmosphere that is rare in the Five Boroughs.
Standard Bronx motels often lack the amenities that make a family vacation stress-free. Here is what sets this property apart for those searching for the best hotels in the Bronx:
After a day exploring the zoo's 4,000 animals or the botanical garden's seasonal exhibits, your culinary adventure begins. You are just minutes from Arthur Avenue, known as "The Real Little Italy of New York." Enjoy world-class dining at Patricia’s of Morris Park (0.8 miles) or authentic Cuban fare at Havana Cafe (1.3 miles).
For guests wanting to visit Manhattan, the hotel provides a complimentary shuttle to the Westchester Square subway station, connecting you to the 6 train for a direct ride into the heart of the city.
Traveling with your furry friend? We are a premier pet-friendly hotel in the Bronx. With 24/7 campus security and a doorman, you can rest easy knowing your family (and your pet) are in the safest part of the borough.
Planning your trip? Book your suite at the Residence Inn New York The Bronx at Metro Center Atrium for the best family rates and proximity to the zoo.
