Family Hotels in Tallinn with a Swimming Pool
10 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Tallinn . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Tallinn sits on the Gulf of Finland, and for a large part of the year the weather pushes families indoors by late afternoon. A hotel pool solves that: after a morning on the medieval walls of the Old Town or in Kadriorg Park, children get swim time without another outing. The hotels on this page all have indoor pools and are close to the centre. Hotel Telegraaf is inside the Old Town walls, Nordic Hotel Forum stands beside the Viru gates, and Radisson Collection, Mövenpick and Swissotel rise in the modern centre a short walk away, so the pool never costs you the sightseeing.
Tallinn is one of the easiest European capitals to visit with children. The walled medieval Old Town is compact enough to walk in a morning, and it meets a modern downtown of glass towers where most of the large hotels stand. Kadriorg Park, the harbour and Pirita Beach are all within a short tram or bus ride of the centre.

🏊Why a pool matters in Tallinn
Pool hotels in Tallinn are city hotels with spa floors rather than beach resorts. Most combine an indoor pool with saunas and steam rooms, a few add a shallow section for small children, and Metropol Spa Hotel goes further with water slides. Their central location lets families mix the Old Town, the harbour area and a swim in the same day.
Location is the first strength. Hotel Telegraaf, an Autograph Collection property in a former telegraph building, sits inside the Old Town walls with an indoor pool, sauna and a babysitting service. Nordic Hotel Forum stands beside the Viru gates and the Viru shopping centre, and Palace Hotel faces Vabaduse Square, five minutes on foot from the Old Town, with a small indoor pool, sauna and steam room on its spa floor. With any of these three, a swim fits between lunch and dinner without public transport, which is handy with tired children on cobbled streets.
Some pools are clearly better for younger children. Radisson Collection Hotel, in a 24-floor tower near the Rotermann quarter, has an indoor pool with a toddler shallow end and family swim sessions in the afternoon. Swissotel Tallinn, another high-rise in the modern centre, has a shallow children's section in its indoor pool and family-sized rooms with sofa beds. For children who want more than lengths, Metropol Spa Hotel has an on-site water and spa centre with two water slides, a kids' shallow pool, a sauna, a steam room and an ice fountain.
Saunas come with almost every pool here, which suits the Estonian habit of moving between heat and water. Mövenpick Hotel Tallinn has three saunas, Finnish, steam and infrared, plus a hot tub next to its indoor pool, and runs a chocolate hour at 4pm that children enjoy. Hotel Regent Tallinn pairs its indoor pool, sauna and spa with a garden courtyard where children can play. Opening hours of the pools differ from one hotel to another, and some reserve set slots for families, so I recommend asking at check-in for the times that suit your children.
The second group sits close to the harbour and the ferries to Helsinki. Novotel Tallinn, five minutes on foot from the Old Town, has an indoor pool open until 10pm and family rooms for two adults and two children, which helps when the day ends late. Metropol Spa Hotel is also a few minutes from the ferry harbour. Pirita Beach, the city beach on the bay, is reached by bus from the centre in about fifteen minutes, so in summer you can split the day between the sea and a heated pool back at the hotel.
Parent's take
For a family stay in Tallinn built around the pool, I would choose Metropol Spa Hotel: its water centre has two slides and a shallow kids' pool, and the Old Town gates are a few minutes away on foot. For toddlers, I recommend Radisson Collection Hotel instead, whose indoor pool has a shallow end and family swim sessions in a tower near the Rotermann quarter.
Our Top 10 Picks
Hotels in Tallinn with swimming pool, sorted by guest rating.
Radisson Collection Hotel, Tallinn
Modern Centre (Rotermann)
Wonderful
2,400 reviews
Radisson Collection sits in a 24-floor tower five minutes from the Old Town, with one of the largest hotel spas in Tallinn — full indoor pool, sauna complex, treatment rooms and a top-floor sky bar. The family suites get a separate second bedroom with bunk beds option.
From
€289/night
Why families love Radisson Collection Hotel, Tallinn
This is the easiest pick for families wanting both a real swimming pool and a proper spa. The pool has a shallow toddler end, family swim sessions until 5pm, and the front desk loans float toys at no charge. Connecting twin-and-double rooms work better than the suites for families of four. Skip the buffet breakfast in summer — it's swarmed by school groups before 9am.
Movenpick Hotel Tallinn
12 Lembitu, Tallinn City-Centre, 10114 Tallinn, Estonia
Wonderful
200 reviews
Movenpick Hotel Tallinn is a 5-star property with an indoor spa pool, family rooms, fitness centre, and bike rental. Located in the modern city centre 15 minutes by bus to Pirita Beach, the rooftop bar offers Old Town views and the location is two blocks from the historic walls.
From
€140/night
Why families love Movenpick Hotel Tallinn
Movenpick's indoor pool turned a borderline drizzly afternoon into the best part of the trip. Kids in the warm pool for an hour, parents in the sauna, back to the beach the next morning when the sun returned. Family room had a separate kids' nook with bunk beds and a TV, which we used precisely once because they were too busy at the pool. Free bike rental got us along the seaside path to Pirita in 20 minutes flat.
Palace Hotel Tallinn, a member of Radisson Individuals
Centre (Vabaduse Square)
Wonderful
1,420 reviews
Palace Hotel sits on Vabaduse Square — Tallinn's main civic square — in a 1930s building that's been continuously running as a hotel since opening. The spa floor has a small indoor pool, sauna and steam room, and the ground-floor restaurant has been a Tallinn staple for decades.
From
€215/night
Why families love Palace Hotel Tallinn, a member of Radisson Individuals
Palace works for families who want Old Town within five minutes' walk but slightly quieter nights than staying inside the walls. The 1930s structure means rooms vary wildly in size — ask for a renovated family room, not a standard double with a sofa bed. The pool is short (12 metres) but it's open until 8pm and rarely busy. Kids' menu in the restaurant runs all day.
Novotel Tallinn
Tallinn City-Centre
Wonderful
A 4-star Novotel with purpose-built family rooms that sleep 2 adults and 2 children up to 16 free when sharing parents' room. 5-minute walk to Old Town. Indoor swimming pool and on-site restaurant with kids' menu.
From
€98/night
Why families love Novotel Tallinn
The reliable mid-range pick. Novotel's family-room standard works here too — a real king bed plus a fold-out sofa for two kids, all in a 28 m² room. Up to 16 stays free under the brand's family policy. Indoor pool is small but heated and open until 10 PM, which our 7-year-old used every evening. Breakfast buffet has a kids station with cereal, eggs, and pancakes you DIY. Walking distance to everything: Old Town in 5 minutes, the Linnahall harbour in 8 minutes, the train to Helsinki in 4 minutes if you're combining cities.
Hilton Tallinn Park
Tornimäe / Modern Centre
Wonderful
1,766 reviews
A 4-star Hilton beside Tallinn's central park (Lauluväljak adjacent), with indoor pool, executive lounge and spacious family rooms. The lobby café serves all-day kids meals and the location offers green space for stroller walks.
From
€156/night
Why families love Hilton Tallinn Park
Hilton Tallinn Park is the most park-adjacent option, with Kadrioru Park's lake and the Kumu art museum within a 10-minute walk for stroller exits. Family rooms are large enough for a cot plus a queen bed with proper room to move, and the Hilton Family programme includes welcome amenities for under-fives. The indoor pool is a 17 metre lap pool with a shallow section ideal for splashing with toddlers.
Wonderful
1,039 reviews
A 5-star Marriott Autograph Collection hotel inside the medieval Old Town walls, set in a former Telegraph headquarters with restored art-deco interiors. Spa, indoor pool, on-site babysitting and family rooms with cot space, all within Old Town's pedestrian heart.
From
€235/night
Why families love Hotel Telegraaf, Autograph Collection
Hotel Telegraaf is the standout choice for parents who want luxury with babysitting included. The hotel offers genuine babysitting referrals through a vetted local agency (book 48 hours ahead), spacious family rooms with proper cot space and an indoor pool plus spa for parents during nap time. The Old Town location means Town Hall Square, the Estonian History Museum and the Master's Courtyard playground are all within a 5-minute walk, no taxis needed.
Nordic Hotel Forum
Old Town Edge
Wonderful
1,377 reviews
A 4-star contemporary hotel beside Old Town and Viru gates, with indoor pool, spa, family rooms and a respected breakfast buffet. Central to both the Old Town tourist circuit and the Viru shopping centre.
From
€158/night
Why families love Nordic Hotel Forum
Nordic Hotel Forum nails the location compromise that matters most with a baby. You're 90 seconds walk to Viru Square (so taxi drop-off is easy) and 4 minutes to the Old Town main gate, with fully smooth pavements between the two. The 6th-floor swimming pool plus sauna is a parent-only sanctuary during nap time, and family rooms include a sofa-bed plus space for a cot. Cot loan is free with 24 hours notice.
Hotel Regent Tallinn
Tallinn City Centre
Wonderful
900 reviews
A 5-star with a maintained garden and an indoor pool, sauna, and spa centre. About 15 minutes walk to the Old Town, but on a tram line that puts you at Town Hall Square in 8 minutes.
From
€173/night
Why families love Hotel Regent Tallinn
Hotel Regent Tallinn is a five-star in the city centre with a maintained garden courtyard where children can run, plus an indoor pool, sauna and spa centre. The Old Town is about 15 minutes on foot, or eight minutes by tram to Town Hall Square, which helps with tired legs. Family rooms are modern, and there is a restaurant and fitness centre. I would choose it for families visiting Tallinn outside summer who want a pool to fall back on.
Swissotel Tallinn
Central
Excellent
1,469 reviews
A 5-star Swissotel high-rise in the modern Tornimäe quarter, with floor-to-ceiling Old Town views, an indoor pool with shallow children's section, full spa and family-sized rooms with sofa-bed configurations.
From
€152/night
Why families love Swissotel Tallinn
Swissotel Tallinn is the smoothest baby-and-toddler hotel in Tallinn for one boring reason: lift access to absolutely everything. The hotel is in a tower with multiple high-speed elevators, smooth lobby flooring and stroller-friendly corridors throughout. The 30th-floor breakfast room with city views is a hit with sleepy babies, and the indoor pool has a separate kid-friendly shallow zone. Tornimäe shopping centre with Selver supermarket is across the road.
Metropol Spa Hotel
Tallinn City-Centre
Excellent
A 4-star spa hotel a 6-minute walk from the Old Town with family rooms, an indoor pool, water slides, and the on-site Aqua Spa included for guests. Kids' menu at restaurants. Cot available on request.
From
€235/night
Why families love Metropol Spa Hotel
The water slides at the in-house spa are the headline. Two slides — one for under-7s, one twisty one for older kids — plus a bubbling kids' pool and adult lap pool. Spa entry is free with the family room rate so you can use it daily. Family rooms aren't huge (24-26 m²) but include a proper sofa bed, not a pull-out couch. Position is good: 6 minutes' walk to the Old Town gates, 4 minutes to the harbour. Breakfast buffet was the strongest of the five — fresh pancakes made to order, separate kids' table with mini-bowls. Older building so corridors are dated.
💡Tips for booking a pool hotel in Tallinn
- 1Ask at check-in for the family swim times: Radisson Collection Hotel and Mövenpick run family sessions, and other hotels keep set hours for their pools.
- 2Choose Metropol Spa Hotel if your children want slides; its water centre has two water slides, a kids' shallow pool and an ice fountain.
- 3For toddlers, look at Radisson Collection Hotel or Swissotel Tallinn, both with a shallow section in their indoor pools.
- 4Stay inside or beside the Old Town to swim between sightseeing walks: Hotel Telegraaf is within the walls and Nordic Hotel Forum is by the Viru gates.
- 5Plan a summer afternoon at Pirita Beach, about fifteen minutes by bus from the centre, and keep the hotel pool for cooler or rainy days.
- 6If you take the ferry to Helsinki, Novotel Tallinn and Metropol Spa Hotel are a few minutes from the harbour, which shortens the morning with children.
