Here are highly recommended family‑friendly hotels in Mumbai, grouped by neighbourhood and with the family features that make them good choices. I’ve included a reliable source for each pick — check the hotel directly for current rates, kids‑club hours and exact child/extra‑bed policies before booking.

Luxury / iconic (best for sightseeing in South Mumbai)

• The Taj Mahal Palace — Colaba (near Gateway of India). Iconic property with spacious suites, kids’ amenities, swimming pool, babysitting and family‑friendly food options; excellent for sightseeing around Colaba. (cntraveller.in)

• The Oberoi, Mumbai — Marine Drive/Nariman Point. Luxury rooms and suites, outdoor pool, kids’ play area and childcare/babysitting options; great quiet location facing the sea for families who want a premium stay near Marine Drive. (oberoihotels.com)

Beachfront / Juhu (best if you want beach access and pool time)

• JW Marriott Mumbai, Juhu. Beach access, multiple pools (including kids’ pool), a kids’ playroom/kids club and in‑room babysitting — a popular family choice on Juhu Beach. (marriott.com)

• Novotel Mumbai Juhu Beach. More affordable beachfront option with family rooms, kids’ play area, kids’ menus and a children’s pool; Novotel often runs family packages (children’s stay/breakfast policies vary). (novoteljuhubeach.mumbainhotel.com)

Bandra / Bandra–Kurla (good mix of residential, shopping & family dining)

• Taj Lands End — Bandra. Large rooms and suites, kids’ club, children’s pool and family‑friendly dining; excellent for families who want Bandra’s restaurants, shops and Bandstand promenade. (booking.com)

Lower Parel / shopping & entertainment district

• The St. Regis Mumbai — Lower Parel. Big suites and 2‑bedroom residences (good for families), family packages/“Family Traditions” offerings, and close to high‑end malls (Phoenix/High Street). (marriott.com)

Airport / convenient for short stays and long layovers

• Holiday Inn Mumbai International Airport (Andheri East). Rooftop infinity pool, family rooms and “kids eat free” offers on some plans — ideal for families arriving/departing or needing easy airport access. (holidayinn.com)

• Sahara Star (near the airport). Large property with family amenities, children’s pool, indoor/outdoor play options and easy airport transfer — useful for families with early/late flights. (tripadvisor.in)

Resort‑style / larger grounds

• Grand Hyatt Mumbai (Santacruz). Family suites, kids’ club/children’s pool, playground and a range of recreational facilities (popular with families who want more on‑site activities). (grandhyatmumbai.com)

Quick booking tips for families

• Ask about connecting/adjacent rooms and family suites when you book (many hotels can block adjoining rooms). (See individual property pages above.)
• Confirm the hotel’s child policies: age cutoffs for “children stay free,” fees for extra beds, babysitting charges and kids‑club hours. Policies and fees change frequently. (booking.com)
• If you’ll rely on the kids’ club or babysitting, ask whether those services are supervised and whether advance reservations are required. (familytravelgenie.com)
• For beach stays (Juhu), expect good views and walks but variable local water quality — hotels emphasize pool access for safe swimming. (marriott.com)

If you want, I can:

• Narrow these to a specific budget, neighbourhood (Colaba, Juhu, Bandra, airport), or travel dates and check live availability/rates for you.
• Or send a short list of 3 “best overall” picks based on your family size and priorities (pool vs. location vs. price).
