Where to stay
Pools, kitchens and the metro nearby
Warsaw's main station sits in the middle of Śródmieście, so a family can step off a train and reach the hotel on foot, without a taxi and with the pushchair rolling on wide, flat pavements. The hotels around it range from a pool and spa at the InterContinental to simple apartments with kitchens, and the city's highlights for children, the Palace of Culture's viewing terrace, the Copernicus Science Centre and the rebuilt Old Town, are all reachable by metro, tram or a walk.
InterContinental Warsaw, rated 9.4, is the strongest family choice for a short stay: it has an indoor pool, a spa, a fitness center and several restaurants, near the Palace of Culture and Science, and it caters to families as well as business travellers. Warsaw Presidential Hotel, rated 8.8, is the other address with an indoor pool, a short walk from the central station with several dining options and accessible facilities. A pool matters in Warsaw winters, when an afternoon outdoors with children is short and a swim fills the gap before dinner without leaving the building.

Getting around with children is simple from here. The Palace of Culture and Science across the street has a viewing terrace on its upper floors, the Copernicus Science Centre on the Vistula is reached by metro, and the rebuilt Old Town lies a short ride north. Hotel Polonia Palace, rated 9.4, a historic grand hotel on Aleje Jerozolimskie with a spa, and NYX Hotel Warsaw, rated 9.2, complete the list for families who want more polish, while ClickTheFlat Hoża Street Apart Rooms, rated 7.4, is the simpler self-catering choice nearby.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a family city break by train, I would book InterContinental Warsaw, rated 9.4, for its indoor pool and its position near the Palace of Culture and Science, a few minutes from Warszawa Centralna. A swim after a day out works well with children, and the metro to the Copernicus Science Centre makes an easy half-day from the hotel.
