Your stay in Hanovre, in one conversation
Charlize builds hotels, activities and dining around your wishes, dates and budget.
Planning a family trip to Hanover means balancing location, space, and budget. The city is well suited to families: the Hannover Zoo, one of the largest in Europe, sits in the north of the city, the vast Eilenriede urban forest offers hours of outdoor exploration, and the Sprengel Museum and Adventure Museum give children and adults alike plenty to discover. Getting around is straightforward thanks to a compact tram and metro network, so choosing a hotel in a central district like Mitte or List puts most attractions within a short, easy ride.
For families who prefer more room to spread out, apartment-style properties and hotels with larger room categories are available across several price points. The Gästeresidenz PelikanViertel in the residential List neighbourhood offers a quieter setting with apartment-style accommodation, rated 4.6 out of 5 at 73 EUR per night. The Novotel Hannover, also in List and rated 4.5 stars, is a reliable choice with the brand's family-friendly room configuration at 93 EUR per night. Families attending a trade fair at the Hannover Messe exhibition centre can consider the PHIL and MAX Hotel and Apartments Messe in Laatzen, about 8 kilometres south, which combines apartment layouts with direct proximity to the fairground at 120 EUR per night.

Frequently asked questions
Which Hanover hotels are best located for families visiting the zoo and Eilenriede forest?+

From either property, the zoo is reachable in a short tram or car journey, making it a practical base for a family day out.
Are there apartment-style options in Hanover that give families more space?+
Yes. The Gästeresidenz PelikanViertel in List is designed as a residential-style guest residence with more space than a standard hotel room, starting at 73 EUR per night. The PHIL and MAX Hotel and Apartments Messe in Laatzen also offers apartment configurations, rated 4.5 out of 5 at 120 EUR per night, though it sits about 8 kilometres from the city centre.
What is the price range for family hotels in Hanover?+
Based on the available options, nightly rates for family-suitable hotels in Hanover range from around 73 EUR at the Gästeresidenz PelikanViertel up to 127 EUR at the Motel One Hannover-Oper in the Mitte district. Mid-range options such as the NH Hannover at 92 EUR and the Novotel Hannover at 93 EUR offer a balance of location, comfort, and value.
Is it worth staying outside Hanover city centre for a family visit?+
Two properties sit outside the city centre: MS Living Hotels in Schulenburg, about 7.9 kilometres from Hanover at 87 EUR per night with a very high rating of 4.9 out of 5, and PHIL and MAX Hotel and Apartments Messe in Laatzen at 8.3 kilometres. These can work well for families travelling by car or those attending events at the Hannover Messe, but families focused on city sightseeing may prefer a central location to avoid relying on transfers for each excursion.
