Hotels with Family Suites in Freiburg im Breisgau
12 family-friendly hotels with family suite in Freiburg im Breisgau . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Freiburg im Breisgau is a university city at the edge of the Black Forest, with a medieval old town around its red sandstone cathedral and narrow water channels, the Bächle, running along the streets. Family suites here are found in historic hotels near the Münsterplatz, in apartments with kitchens and in country hotels on the outskirts with pools and gardens. On this page I list hotels with family suites, from Colombi Hotel, opposite Colombi Park with an indoor pool and a kids' club, to Schloss Reinach with its year-round pool and playground, and Friedrich Boutique-Apartments in the city centre.
Freiburg is green, sunny and relaxed, often described as one of the warmest cities in Germany. Students fill its squares, trams and bicycles fill its streets, and the Bächle, small water channels along the pavements, delight children. The Schlossberg hill rises above the old town with a short funicular, and the Black Forest begins at the city's edge, with the Schauinsland cable car a short tram and bus ride away.

🛏️Why Freiburg im Breisgau is Great for Hotels with Family Suite
Freiburg is compact and walkable, but its cobbled lanes, cable cars and Black Forest excursions make for full days with children. A family suite keeps everyone in one unit with more space than a standard room, and several hotels add a pool, a sauna or bikes to explore the city's many cycle paths.
For families who want a pool, two addresses stand out. Colombi Hotel, a five-star hotel in the historic old town opposite Colombi Park and Castle, offers air-conditioned family suites, an indoor pool, a gym, spa and wellness facilities, a kids' club and bike rental. Schloss Reinach, set in a historic manor on the outskirts of Freiburg, has a spa with several saunas and a steam room, a stainless steel pool open all year, a playground, family suites and bike rental, and some rooms have a terrace or patio with direct pool access. I would choose Colombi for a city break on foot and Schloss Reinach for a slower stay with young children.
Families who prefer to cook and keep their own rhythm should look at Friedrich Boutique-Apartments, the most reviewed address on this list with more than 3,500 reviews and a rating of 8.9. These city-centre apartments have fully equipped kitchens with dining areas, air conditioning, family suites and bike rental. Hotel Stadt Freiburg, a modern four-star hotel, offers rooms and apartments with family suites, spa and wellness facilities, a game room, bike rental and on-site parking, and accepts pets. Both work well for longer stays, when a separate eating area makes a real difference with small children.
In the old town, several historic hotels put families steps from the cathedral. Hotel Rappen am Münsterplatz sits directly on the cathedral square, where the market fills the square most mornings, and offers family suites, bike rental and a restaurant serving Baden dishes. Central Hotel, a family-run four-star hotel, is a three-minute walk from the cathedral and the university, with family suites, a breakfast buffet and bike rental. Hotel Victoria, BW Signature Collection, dating from 1875, adds a sauna, massages and a rooftop garden to its family suites. Hotel Schwarzwälder Hof and Hotel Minerva include free use of public transport.
Outside the centre, a few hotels suit families with a car or bikes. Hotel Hirschen in Freiburg-Lehen, north-west of the city, has family suites, a spa area, a seasonal outdoor pool, two restaurants, free parking and bike rental. Bike- und Ferienhotel Freiburg, a three-star hotel, offers family rooms with garden or mountain views, terraces or balconies, free parking and bicycle hire. Green City Hotel Vauban sits in the Vauban district, known for its car-free streets and ecological housing, with family suites and rooms furnished with local materials, a good base for families curious about how the city lives.
Parent's take
I recommend Schloss Reinach for families with young children: it has family suites, a playground, a pool open all year and a spa with saunas, and some rooms open straight onto the pool. Freiburg itself is a short drive away, and the old town's Bächle, the narrow water channels along the streets, are a favourite with children, who float little boats or dip their hands in on warm days.
