We spent $1,000 to sleep in a 1,145-square-foot NYC hotel room filled with toys. It's totally worth it if you can find people to split it with.

The Loft Suite at The Graduate Hotel is themed after "Big."Michelle Spitzer

My family stayed in the "Big"-inspired suite at Graduate New York for $1,000 a night.
The three-bedroom, 1,145-square-foot suite is big enough for multiple families.

A few years ago, I introduced my children to the classic 1988 comedy "Big" starring Tom Hanks. Now they always keep their eyes out for a Zoltar machine like the one in the film when we visit carnivals or arcades.

Although we haven't had luck with that, I was able to surprise them with a stay in the three-bedroom Loft Suite at Graduate New York, which is inspired by "Big."

Graduate is located on Roosevelt Island.

This is also where my kids found the pièce de résistance: Zoltar.
