Artis
Nineteenth-century charm with saunas and an indoor pool
About this hotel
Four minutes from the Office of the President of the Republic of Lithuania and a similar distance from Dionysos restaurant, Artis occupies a genuine 19th-century building that gives a water park trip a dose of real Vilnius history alongside its own indoor pool and saunas. Free breakfast and free parking are both bundled into the rate, removing two of the more common extra costs families budget around, and the airport shuttle smooths arrival day with young kids and a car full of gear. Pet-friendly policies mean the dog is welcome throughout the stay, and the restaurant and bar cover evenings without needing to head back out after a full pool day.

Our take
This suits a family wanting genuine historic character alongside practical extras like free breakfast, free parking and an airport shuttle, all without a five-star price tag. The indoor pool and saunas give real value on days away from the water park itself. Compare it against similar options nearby before booking, since it rewards history-minded families more than it does a generic stay.
- ✓Book the airport shuttle ahead of arrival, especially with young kids and a full set of water park luggage.
- ✓Use the saunas on an evening after a full water park day, since the combination genuinely helps with tired legs.
- ✓Take advantage of both free breakfast and free parking here, since together they meaningfully lower the trip's daily cost.

Why guests love itThe saunas paired with the indoor pool made the evenings after full water park days genuinely restorative, something we had not expected from a hotel booked mainly for its free breakfast and parking. The 19th-century building gave the whole trip a sense of place, and the airport shuttle on arrival day meant we were unpacked and settled with two overtired kids far faster than expected.
