The Omni Berkshire Place FAO Schwarz Stay & Play Suite

The Omni Berkshire Place and New York City’s iconic toy store FAO Schwarz have partnered to bring visitors the ultimate hotel suite. The playful and luxurious Holiday Wishes FAO Schwarz Stay & Play Suite! Can’t wait to see it in person? Come along and take a tour!

In an “only in New York” bucket list moment, I toured the fabulous suite with a genuine FAO Toy Soldier! The two-bedroom, 1,336 square-foot FAO Luxury Suite is the stuff that sugar plum dreams are made of. It is chock full of wondrous toys for very lucky girls and boys. The hotel’s room service menu even offers the opportunity to purchase FAO Schwarz toys. But personally, I’d rather march on over to the store with my FAO soldier friend and do a little in person shopping. And yes, a personal Toy Soldier escort to the store is included in your dream stay. Read on for all the exciting details.

The iconic FAO piano dance mat, a ride-on train and a life-sized plush gorilla will have children of all ages playing during their stay. I even had a cup of cocoa with the gorilla I named Mo! I’m pretty sure that’s not actually his name but Cocoa and Mo just seemed to go together.

The FAO Suite Stay and Play Package:

The FAO Suite Stay and Play Package invites families to celebrate the holiday season with a dream-come-true experience, immersed in toys and interactive play. The hotel’s youngest guests will be dreaming up visions of holiday wishes as they play with some of the most sought-after toys available at FAO Schwarz. The FAO Suite Stay and Play Package is inspired by the store’s 160 years of toys, and inspiring awe and wonder.
