Family Friendly Hotels at Bengaluru Airport: Pools, Rooms, Kids

Bengaluru’s late-night international bank means a lot of families arrive at 2 am or leave at 4 am, and the airport’s hotels sort themselves quickly for that. The Taj Bangalore is the family hotel here, with a pool and a five-minute walk from Terminal 1; the Moxy is the cheaper pool hotel 9 km away; the Bloom is the budget twin-room option; and the 080 Transit Hotel is the answer for a few hours with a small child. Below is each hotel from a parent’s point of view: pool, room size, food at odd hours, and the transfer with a pram. Verified September 2026.

Taj Bangalore: the pool on the campus

The Taj Bangalore is what most families want after a long flight: 370 soundproofed rooms and suites 300 metres from Terminal 1 with a shuttle on request, an outdoor infinity pool in landscaped gardens, a 24-hour room service menu, Café 77 East with a buffet that covers children’s tastes, and enough space in the Luxury rooms and suites for a family of four. The hotel car meets the flight if you give it the number, so the 3 am arrival is a five-minute drive rather than a hunt for a cab. Pets are not allowed. It is the most expensive hotel in this guide, and for a family with a day to fill before a flight it is also the one that fills the day.

Moxy: the pool and the lawn

The Moxy in Devanahalli Business Park, 9 km and 15 to 20 minutes from the terminals by cab, has an outdoor pool, a 970-square-metre lawn, a game room and rooms from 21 square metres, with the 28-square-metre Executive Sleeper the right size for two adults and two children. Moxy Kitchen serves through the day and a pantry off the lobby covers snacks; breakfast is paid unless your rate includes it. The hotel is cashless and has no shuttle, so book its car for arrivals with a pram and bags. The Layover Pool Bar’s DJ evenings are the one thing to ask about if you have early bedtimes; rooms away from the pool side are quieter.

Bloom Hotel: two rooms on a budget

The Bloom Hotel, 5 km away at Sadahalli, is the cheapest night in this guide and clean, quiet and simple. Its rooms are 15 to 17 square metres with a queen or two twins, so a family of four takes two rooms, which is still usually cheaper than one room at the Taj. Breakfast at Bloom Cafe is included in most rates, each floor has a snack bar with free tea and biscuits, and the reception is staffed 24 hours. There is no pool or play space, so it is the hotel for a night’s sleep before an early flight rather than for a day with children.

080 Transit Hotel: a few hours with a small child

For a layover of four to eight hours with a toddler, the 080 Transit Hotel inside Terminal 2 is the least tiring option: walk from the baggage belts, sleep in a dark, silent room, and take the lift up to departures. Two adults and a small child fit a king room; there are no family rooms and no windows, and it is priced by the block, so it is for the gap between flights rather than a night. International arrivals clear immigration first, and the hotel is not reachable from the sterile area for transit passengers without a visa.

Practicalities for families

Check-in at the Taj is from 2 pm and at the Moxy from 3 pm, with early check-in on request for the 3 am arrivals; say so when you book and give the flight number. Cabs in Bengaluru do not carry child seats, so bring your own or book the hotel car and hold the child; the Vayu Vajra buses are fine for older children with a bag each. The airport has baby care rooms in both terminals, a 24-hour pharmacy in Terminal 1 and prayer rooms and medical clinics near both arrivals halls. Lounges charge a child rate from age two, which is why the Taj’s pool beats a lounge for a family’s long gap; the day rooms guide works through the hours.

Tips

For a day between flights, book the Taj by the night and use the pool. For a night before a 6 am departure on a budget, the Bloom with the hotel car booked the evening before. For a weekend around a flight, the Moxy. And for the 2 am arrival with a sleeping child, the transit hotel and a lift, then decide about the rest of the day after breakfast; the terminal guide explains which terminal that day starts from.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Bengaluru Airport hotel is best for a family with children?

The Taj Bangalore for most families: a five-minute walk from Terminal 1 and a shuttle on request from Terminal 2, an infinity pool, gardens, a 24-hour room service menu and rooms large enough for two adults and two children. The Moxy in Devanahalli is the cheaper pool option, 9 km away by cab, with a game room and a lawn.

Do the Bengaluru Airport hotels have pools?

Two of the four: the Taj Bangalore has an outdoor infinity pool on the airport campus, and the Moxy has an outdoor pool with a pool bar in Devanahalli Business Park. The Bloom Hotel and the 080 Transit Hotel have no pool.

Can a family of four share a room at these hotels?

At the Taj Bangalore, yes, in its larger rooms and suites. At the Moxy, two adults and two young children fit a Moxy Sleeper at a squeeze and an Executive Sleeper comfortably. The Bloom's 15 to 17 square metre rooms are for two, so a family of four books two rooms. The transit hotel's rooms suit two adults and a small child for a few hours.

We land at 3 am with children. Which hotel is easiest?

The 080 Transit Hotel inside Terminal 2 for a few hours, since there is no cab and no forecourt: walk from the belts, sleep, take the lift up to departures. For a full night, the Taj Bangalore with the hotel car booked to your flight number. The Devanahalli hotels are fine if you pre-book the hotel car; app cabs with a pram and bags at 3 am are the tiring option.
