Calgary Hotels with an Indoor Pool

Calgary's winters are cold, so an indoor pool is useful in every season here, and the choice is wide. Downtown, the Fairmont Palliser has a large indoor pool and a day spa, and Delta Hotels by Marriott Calgary Downtown pairs its pool with river and skyline views. Most of the other hotels on this page sit around Calgary International Airport, where two of them, Delta Hotels Calgary Airport In-Terminal and the Calgary Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel, connect directly to the terminal. For families staying longer, suites with kitchens at Staybridge Suites or Homewood Suites come with a pool and a hot tub as well.

Calgary sits where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet, on the prairie east of the Rocky Mountains, with Banff and the national parks to the west. Downtown is a grid of office towers around the Calgary Tower and Stephen Avenue, with the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre and the riverside paths close by. Every July the Calgary Stampede fills the city, and in winter cold spells alternate with milder chinook winds. The airport lies north-east of the centre, ringed by hotels, while the University of Calgary and McMahon Stadium are to the north-west.

Pools downtown, at the terminal, in suites

An indoor pool in Calgary earns its place all year: after a cold day in the city, before an early flight, or with children during Stampede week in July. What sets these hotels apart is location. The downtown hotels put you near the Calgary Tower and the convention centre, the airport hotels make a late arrival easy, and the suites to the north and south of the city give you a kitchen. I mention a hot tub, sauna or spa only where the hotel's own description lists one.

Downtown, the Fairmont Palliser is the one I would choose for the pool itself: the hotel describes it as large, and it adds a hot tub and a day spa. It connects to the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre by skywalk, has several restaurants on site and scores 8.7 from 395 reviews. Delta Hotels by Marriott Calgary Downtown is the more straightforward option, with an indoor pool, a seasonal sun deck, a full-service fitness centre and rooms looking over the river or the skyline, also at 8.7, from 640 reviews. Both keep you in the city centre, close to the Calgary Tower and Stephen Avenue.

For an early flight, a hotel inside the terminal is hard to beat. Delta Hotels Calgary Airport In-Terminal connects directly to Calgary International Airport and has an indoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna and a 24-hour fitness centre, with soundproofed rooms and a score of 9.0 from 961 reviews; it also accepts pets. The Calgary Airport Marriott In-Terminal Hotel offers the same direct access, an indoor pool, a fitness centre and a full-service spa, with meals at YAKIMA Social Kitchen + Bar. The Westin Calgary Airport, steps from the terminal, adds a hot tub and a free shuttle, and scores 9.1.

Families staying several nights near the airport have good suite options with a pool. Staybridge Suites - Calgary Airport by IHG has fully equipped kitchens, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a sun terrace, a free airport shuttle and a continental buffet breakfast. Homewood Suites Calgary Airport serves a hot breakfast, runs a 24-hour shuttle and gives every suite a kitchenette, with mountain views from some of them. Executive Residency by Best Western Calgary City View North, the most reviewed hotel here at 8.9 from 3,735 reviews, combines kitchenettes, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a restaurant and bar, and a free airport shuttle.

Away from the centre and the airport, three hotels stand out. Holiday Inn Express and Suites Calgary University by IHG, near McMahon Stadium, has an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness centre, scoring 8.8 from 494 reviews. Holiday Inn Hotel & Suites Calgary South adds a family-friendly Italian restaurant and free parking, with an ice-skating rink nearby. Residence Inn by Marriott Calgary South has the highest score on this page, 9.2, though from only 86 reviews; it offers kitchenettes, an indoor pool, a hot tub, a spa and wellness area and a daily buffet breakfast, and it accepts pets.

A traveler's take

If I had a morning flight out of Calgary, I would book Delta Hotels Calgary Airport In-Terminal, swim in its indoor pool the evening before and walk straight to check-in. For a city stay, I would choose the Fairmont Palliser for its large pool and day spa, a short walk from the Calgary Tower. With children for several nights, I recommend Staybridge Suites - Calgary Airport, whose full kitchens and free shuttle make the logistics simpler.
