Families get the most space at THE MADISON Hotel Hamburg, where every studio and suite has a kitchenette, and at Conrad Hamburg, which has family rooms, studios with kitchenettes and a 20-metre pool, though you should check children's swimming hours first. GRAND ELYSEE Hamburg pairs a pool with several restaurants.
