Check rates and availability

During our family trip to Shenzhen, we stayed in the Futian district and found it to be the perfect base for exploring the city with kids.

The central location, excellent metro connections, and abundance of family-friendly facilities made our stay incredibly convenient.

Shenzhen is a super modern city, almost like traveling to the future. For that reason there are plenty of amazing accommodation options catering to different travellers needs – can be worth finding a family-friendly hotel.

🌟 Top Pick - Jingju Hotel Shenzhen

In Shenzhen we came across this unique hotel designed especially with kids in mind. While it is rather on the expensive side, it has beautiful family rooms with different themes and colours.

It is located in Futian District, right next to Shenzhen Women and Children Centre which is a fun place for kids to explore science and play around. It is also close to Meland Indoor Playground. 5 minutes from the hotel there is a street food street, full of cheap and tasty eats and a really cool outdoor playground where kids stay out until late in the evening.
