Kamloops Hotels with a Hot Tub or Sauna
Kamloops sits where the North and South Thompson rivers meet, in dry grassland hills that are hot in summer and cold in winter, so a hot tub at the end of the day earns its place. The nineteen hotels on this page all offer one, and some go further. The Coast Kamloops Hotel puts a saltwater pool, hot tub and sauna in a tropical atrium, the South Thompson Inn has a year-round hot tub with river views on a large countryside property, and the Thompson Hotel on Victoria Street keeps its pool and hot tub within walking distance of Riverside Park. Hillside hotels such as the Hampton Inn add mountain views.
Kamloops calls itself the Tournament Capital of Canada and lives outdoors, with dry hills, river beaches and bike trails all around. Downtown runs along Victoria Street to Riverside Park, while most chain hotels sit up on Aberdeen hill along the Trans-Canada Highway.
Where to stay
Choosing a Kamloops hotel for a soak
After a day of hiking the hills, cycling or driving the Trans-Canada Highway, a hot tub or a sauna is the simplest way to recover. In Kamloops almost every hotel has one, so the real choice is the setting: downtown near the river, by the water outside town, or on Aberdeen hill above the city.
For the most complete spa setting, the Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre stands out. Its indoor saltwater pool, hot tub and sauna sit inside a tropical atrium, which feels very different from a basement pool on a winter evening. It also has a wading pool for small children and pet-friendly rooms. The Best Western Premier Aberdeen Kamloops pairs an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna with rooms that each have a kitchenette or full kitchen and bathrobes, and the Prestige Kamloops Hotel adds a sauna and hot tub to an indoor pool with a waterslide and kitchenettes, and it accepts pets.
If you want water and views outside the city grid, the South Thompson Inn & Conference Centre is the most scenic choice. It sits on 55 acres of countryside along the South Thompson River with a year-round hot tub looking over the water and a seasonal outdoor pool, plus mountain bike and hiking trails. The Riverland Inn & Suites is also next to the South Thompson River, with mountain views, an indoor pool and a hot tub, closer to town. Either one suits travellers who prefer a quiet riverside soak to a hotel in the busy highway strip on the hill.
For a downtown stay, the Thompson Hotel on Victoria Street is the natural pick. It has an indoor swimming pool and hot tub and two on-site restaurants, and it is a short walk to the shops and restaurants of downtown and to Riverside Park on the Thompson River. The Travelodge by Wyndham Kamloops, less than a kilometre from City Hall, offers an indoor pool, a hot tub and a garden at a simpler level. From either one, an evening walk along the river followed by a soak is easy without needing the car, which matters in a city this spread out.
Up on the hill, the chain hotels compete on facilities and breakfast. The Wingate by Wyndham, the most reviewed hotel here, has a spa and wellness centre and an indoor pool. The Hampton Inn by Hilton combines mountain views with an indoor pool with a waterslide, a hot tub and ski storage, while the Fairfield Inn & Suites, the best rated on this page, has an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness centre. The Delta Hotels by Marriott adds a year-round outdoor pool, and the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites offers a free airport shuttle for travellers arriving by plane.
A traveler's takeI recommend the Coast Kamloops Hotel & Conference Centre to most travellers looking for a proper soak in Kamloops: a saltwater pool, hot tub and sauna under a tropical atrium make winter evenings much more pleasant. For a quieter stay, I would choose the South Thompson Inn, with its year-round hot tub overlooking the river on a large countryside property.
