Make Splashing Memories: 10 Must-Visit Calgary Hotels With Pools
If there’s one thing I require in a hotel, it’s a pool. Let’s admit it: we all check out the swimming pool in a hotel, even if we don’t initially plan on taking a dip but end up doing so before checking out.
Sure, most Calgary hotels have pools, but they’re not all built the same. That’s a thing I discovered during my travels—some are heated, some have waterslides, and some are not so memorable.
If you’re itching for a vacation in Calgary and want the complete experience, we’ve got you covered!
Whether you’re bringing your kids, a business traveller, or a solo wanderer who wants to dip your toes in the water, here are the best Calgary hotels with pools that make a splash!

The outdoor pool is open in summer and winter, offering a relaxing space because of the gorgeous decor. It even has an inflatable roof, typically around September to May, keeping guests safe from snow!
You can enjoy a nice brunch at the restaurant patio beside the pool. Good food, a year-round pool, stylish rooms, and beautiful decor? It’s the ultimate romantic getaway!
Pro Tips:
If you live in Calgary, you don’t have to book a room to access the pool. You can use it by availing Poolside Dining and paying an additional $40 for pool use.

The pools are heated and there’s a whirlpool, making this a family-friendly pool. If you forget to bring life jackets for the kids, there are some available in the pool area that come in different sizes.
For the rest of your stay, you can exercise at the fitness centre, dine at any of the five restaurants, and enjoy the plush beds. All rooms have workspaces, which is very convenient if you’re here on business.
Pro Tips:
The Splash Cafe closes earlier than Oasis Waterpark. If you plan on dining there, order ahead.
Do note that the tall slide has an enclosed part on the top, which gets dark, especially at night. It’s something to consider if your kid can possibly get nervous about it since the slide goes on for a while.
