Great choice — Mumbai has several hotels and serviced-apartment options that work very well for multi‑generational families (grandparents, parents and kids) because they offer suites or connecting rooms, kids’ facilities, pools, babysitting, and easy access to attractions. Below are recommended properties by neighbourhood with a short reason why each is good for multi‑generational stays and a quick citation you can check.

Why these choices work for multi‑generational families

• Suites, connecting rooms and 1–2‑bed apartments give privacy and shared living space (useful for grandparents + parents + children). (Examples above show suites/connecting rooms and serviced apartments). (hotels.com)
• Onsite kids’ facilities (kids’ pools, kids’ clubs, children’s menus), babysitting and family dining help parents and grandparents relax. (cntraveller.in)
• Pools, accessible rooms, butler/babysit services and proximity to attractions (Gateway, Juhu beach, Bandra promenades, malls) reduce daily travel and make mixed‑age outings easier. (hotels.com)

Quick booking tips for multi‑generational stays

• Request connecting/adjoining rooms or book a 2‑bed suite / serviced apartment so everyone has space. (Many hotels list connecting rooms or family suites on their room pages.) (hoteles.com)
• Confirm child policies (number/age for complimentary stays) and rollaway/crib availability when you book. (booking.com)
• Ask about mobility/accessibility (ground‑floor rooms, elevators, grab‑bars) if you’re travelling with elderly family members. (Most large city hotels list accessibility features on their pages.) (hotels.com)

If you want, I can:

• Shortlist 3–4 hotels in one neighbourhood (Colaba, Bandra, Juhu or Powai) at different budget levels; or
• Check exact availability for a set travel date and arrange comparisons of family suites / connecting‑room combinations.

Which neighbourhood or travel dates should I focus on for final shortlists?
