Hoda Kotb is a fixture on TV screens every morning as one of the hosts of Today, so it’s no surprise that she chooses to live in Upper Manhattan to ensure she has an easy commute to NBC’s Rockefeller Center studio.
The 59-year-old TV star is very active on social media and often gives her 2.4 million Instagram followers a good look at her New York City apartment, where she raises her adorable daughters, Haley, seven years old, and Hope, four.
Hoda left New Orleans for the Big Apple many moons ago when she landed a job at NBC News and struggled, like everyone else, to find a decent living situation in the city that never sleeps.
In a 2018 Architectural Digest article, the broadcaster talked about viewing a particular apartment, saying, “The lady said, ‘There’s the apartment I want to show you.’ Here’s the bedroom, now look over here. “Turn, here’s the living room.”

The New York City abode is filled with many toys belonging to daughters Haley, seven, and Hope, four.
In addition to giant teddy bears, books and a telescope, Hoda also has a trampoline in the open living room.
“I was standing in a room and I couldn’t believe that’s what they were renting,” Hoda said, before adding, “Oh yeah, they go, ‘and we have a beautiful outdoor space.'” They opened these doors, and there was like a gardening area and they said, “Look, you can grow things!”‘
Hoda didn’t end up renting that apartment, but she admitted it wasn’t because the space was too small, but simply because she didn’t move fast enough: “People snapped up that apartment in five seconds… I did.” I don’t understand. “I don’t understand New York prices or New York outdoor space,” he said.
Of course, outdoor space is even more important to Hoda these days, as she raises her two daughters in New York City and, fortunately, owns a four-bedroom waterfront property on Long Island, where His daughters spend a lot of time outdoors and on the beach.
But it seems like the family spends most of their time in the Manhattan apartment, due to Hoda’s job and the girls’ school.
This is evident in her photos on Instagram, as the space is adorned with pink toys, giant teddy bears, and children’s books.
In fact, many of Hoda’s living room window sills are covered by her daughters’ possessions, as well as some of her own, like a telescope and an acoustic guitar.
Hoda’s apartment gets plenty of natural light thanks to the building’s huge rectangular windows and her choice of simple white blinds, rather than heavy curtains.
The color white is certainly a recurring theme throughout the apartment, as all the walls and cabinets are neutral, as is Hoda’s open kitchen, which features a large island that also acts as a breakfast bar.

In addition to sleek silver and perspex bar stools, she also has a large stainless steel container and several appliances on the counter, as well as a busy-looking calendar hanging on the wall along with several drawings created by her children.
In 2016, Hoda admitted that her apartment wasn’t exactly organized, saying, “I’m in my apartment looking at my kitchen and it’s eye-opening.”
‘All the closet doors are open and have been since the last time I needed something inside. In this drawer, two old BlackBerry phones, a turkey baster, an old checkbook. Is that a driver’s license? Yes, it expired in 2013.
‘I could win. Let’s make a deal with this drawer. “I think I’m destined to be disorganized,” she joked.
In a recent Easter video posted to Instagram on March 31, Hoda gave her followers a glimpse of how messy her home can get as she shared images of her circular glass dining table and matching chairs, which was covered of colorful toys and accessories.
The girls have their own multicolored seat covers for the adult chairs and also have their own miniature table and chairs, which are located right in front of their huge indoor trampoline.
Hoda’s living room looked quite different in this selfie she took with her Today co-host Dylan Dreyer a few years ago.
Hoda admitted she’s “disorganized” and on Easter gave her fans a peek at her messy glass dining table.
In a sweet Instagram photo, Hoda’s daughter admired the Manhattan sunset from one of the apartment’s huge windows.
This is also the space where Hoda chose to place her Christmas tree and last year she shared an adorable photo of her daughters standing on the windowsills while helping her decorate the windows with tinsel.

The mother of two appears to have plenty of closet space in her living room with built-in storage, as well as a shoe rack next to a full-length mirror, which is to the left of a sliding door, which may well lead to a bathroom.
Hoda doesn’t really share snaps online taken in any of the rooms of her Manhattan apartment, but she recently revealed on an episode of her podcast, Making Space with Hoda Kotb, that she’s moving because her daughters are attending a new school.
The television star did not reveal where her new home would be, but she will undoubtedly stay in Manhattan to be able to combine motherhood with her busy career at Today.
