The best family-friendly hotel in the mountains – attractions for the whole family all year round
A family trip to the mountains is about more than simply choosing a comfortable room and a beautiful view. For parents, it is crucial that children have attractions available regardless of their age, the season or the weather. A good family hotel should seamlessly combine comfortable relaxation with a wide range of entertainment for children, opportunities to spend active time outdoors and a space where adults can recharge.
When looking for an answer to the question of which hotel for children in the mountains to choose, it is worth considering properties offering a comprehensive family package. Hotel Bania is a place where the perfect family stay can be planned at any time of year. Thanks to its mountain location, year-round entertainment, extensive play areas (both indoors and outdoors at the Resort) and thermal pools, the whole family can discover the charms of Podhale and spend time exactly as they like.
Which hotel should families with children choose in the mountains?
When choosing a hotel for a trip with children, it is worth checking several key features: whether the property has a swimming pool, whether it offers entertainment adapted to different ages, and whether it has facilities for bad weather. Hotel Bania lets you combine active recreation around the Resort with a huge range of attractions on site. This means that children will not get bored even if you decide to spend the entire day at the property.
Year-round attractions for children at Hotel Bania include:
Daily activities - qualified activity leaders run sessions adapted to the current season. The programme includes, among other things, art and handicraft workshops, cooking classes, sports activities and special events such as puppet theatre performances and magic shows.
Mountain Land - an indoor playground equipped with a jungle gym, ball pool, creative corner and a safe climbing wall.
Bajka Cinema - screenings with popcorn and lemonade for little film fans. They take place daily during the high season (summer holidays and winter break) and at weekends outside the season.
Playground by the Lobby - a place full of joy right next to the café. Parents can enjoy excellent coffee or tea while keeping an eye on their children at all times.
Entertainment zones for older children - a Gaming Room with a VR zone, plus bowling, pool and table football at Bania Music Club.
Terma Bania and the special Play Zone - thermal-water pools, slides, water carousels, water cannons, cascades and a wave pool. A safe Termuś Paddling Pool has been prepared for the youngest guests.
What can you do with children in the mountains in summer?
Summer is the perfect time for families to explore Podhale. Walks, trips and outdoor activities are a wonderful adventure for the whole family, followed after a day full of impressions by a bonfire with sausages and views of the Tatra Mountains. Hotel Bania is an excellent base for exploring the area (it is just 20 km from Zakopane), with numerous mountain trails and cycling paths nearby.
At Hotel Bania, you do not have to worry about logistics. You can hire electric bikes, helmets and the necessary equipment for the whole family on site. You can also bring your own equipment – the hotel has a professional bicycle storage facility. Find out more about cycling trips and the routes we recommend at Bania Velo.
After returning from mountain trails or cycling trips, children can enjoy these summer attractions:
Play Garden (10,000 m²) - an outdoor space adapted to different age groups. Here you will find a tyre slide, zip line, ride-on vehicles, a rope obstacle course, a huge jumping cushion, a giant sandbox and multifunctional sports courts (including beach volleyball courts). Go-karts and bumper cars await nearby.
Summer Zone at Terma Bania - this water amusement park is a dream destination for fans of aquatic fun. Families can enjoy a water playground, inflatable slides, a three-lane slide over 150 metres long, a water cushion and a sunbathing area with more than 500 loungers and summer bars. Animators and aqua fitness instructors add variety to the experience.
Sauna sessions for children - on selected dates and under adult supervision, children can take part in special sauna rituals organised at Terma Bania.
What can you do with children in the mountains in winter?
Winter in the mountains is a special time for families – snow, skiing, sleigh rides and winter activities make the trip memorable for both children and parents. Hotel Bania is a place where winter relaxation combines comfort with attractions for the whole family.
Why is Hotel Bania the perfect choice for a winter holiday?
Ski-In / Ski-Out location - the hotel is located right next to the Bania Ski and Kotelnica slopes. You can leave your room and almost step straight onto the slopes. This makes it easy to return to the hotel for a nap, a change of clothes or a warm meal at any time of day.
Ski lockers - access to modern, lockable ski lockers with a boot-drying function.
Bania Slide - a specially prepared area next to the hotel where children can safely sled and ride on snow tubes
STOK Ski School - the youngest guests can safely take their first steps on skis or snowboards under the guidance of experienced, trusted instructors.
Age-appropriate attractions – from babies to teenagers
A family with a baby has completely different needs from one with older children. The Hotel Bania offer has been designed so that every young guest, regardless of age, can find something for themselves. At the Play Garden, Terma Bania and Mountain Land, attractions have been prepared for different stages of children’s development. The youngest can play safely in the Termuś Paddling Pool at Terma Bania, discover the attractions of the jungle gym or spend time in the quiet play corner by the café, while older children can use the sports courts, play games in the VR Zone and enjoy Terma Bania’s water attractions.
