For a family trip to Shenzhen, reduce daily travel before comparing hotel luxury.
Family stay

For a family trip to Shenzhen, daily travel distance matters more than a grand lobby. Group theme parks, waterfront time, meals, and the hotel within one sensible area.
Quick answer
Theme parks: Overseas Chinese Town in Nanshan.
Easy walks and an urban waterfront: Houhai, Shenzhen Bay, or Shekou.
A balanced first visit: Futian.
A sandy-beach holiday: Yantian, Dameisha, Xiaomeisha, or Dapeng, with enough time for the eastern coast.
Late arrival or early flight: the airport area.
Theme-park families: Overseas Chinese Town
Window of the World, Shenzhen Happy Valley, and Splendid China Folk Cultural Villages are in the same broad Nanshan direction. Staying nearby avoids crossing from Luohu or the airport at the start and end of a long park day.

Need more space? Verify the room, not just the hotel label
A serviced apartment or suite may help with laundry, separate sleeping space, or a longer stay, but facilities vary by property and room type. Before booking, confirm occupancy limits, bed configuration, extra-bed policy, laundry and kitchen equipment, breakfast rules for children, and cancellation terms.

Serviced apartment in Shekou
Fraser Place Shekou Shenzhen is in Nanshan and works well for longer stays or stays that need near sea world, shekou dining areas, and the cruise center direction.
For a beach-focused family trip, do not force a same-day return
If the children’s main goal is a sandy beach, an overnight stay in Yantian or farther east may reduce a tiring return. Check current beach access, weather, and transport before traveling.
Choose the hotel area around the family’s main activity. Verify family-room facilities directly with the property; an article or hotel category cannot guarantee a particular bed, kitchen, laundry machine, or accessibility feature.
