Kamloops Hotels With an Indoor Pool, Compared

Kamloops sits where the North and South Thompson rivers meet, with hot, dry summers and cold winters, so an indoor pool is a feature you can use in any month. Eleven hotels on this page have one, and nearly all pair it with a hot tub. The real differences lie elsewhere: a water slide at the Hampton Inn and the Prestige, a saltwater pool at the Best Western Plus, a sauna at the Aberdeen, and a downtown address at the Thompson Hotel. I sort them by what each one adds, so you can match the pool to the rest of your trip.

Kamloops is a working city of the British Columbia interior, spread along the Thompson rivers and framed by dry, open hills. It is a crossroads on the Trans-Canada Highway and the Coquihalla, so many visitors stop here between Vancouver, the Okanagan and the Rockies, while others stay longer for hiking, river days or skiing at Sun Peaks to the northeast. Downtown keeps its restaurants and Riverside Park close together, and most hotels with pools sit along the main roads that lead in and out of town.

What each Kamloops pool hotel adds

An indoor pool matters more in Kamloops than the city's sunny reputation suggests. Summer afternoons are often very hot, winter evenings are cold and short, and many visitors arrive after a long drive on Highway 1 or the Coquihalla. A heated pool and a hot tub give children an easy evening activity and adults a way to loosen up after hours at the wheel, without leaving the hotel. Since almost every hotel here has both, it pays to compare what comes with them: slides, saunas, kitchens and location.

For children, the two hotels with a water slide stand out. The Hampton Inn by Hilton Kamloops, rated 8.4 from close to eight hundred reviews, has an indoor pool with a slide, a hot tub, mountain views and ski storage, which also makes it a practical base for winter trips. The Prestige Kamloops Hotel, renovated in 2021, adds a waterslide, a hot tub and a sauna, with kitchenettes in some rooms and shops and restaurants within walking distance. It scores 7.9 on fewer reviews, so I would treat the Hampton Inn as the safer pick and the Prestige as the one with more pool extras.

If the pool is your way to recover after hiking or a long drive, look at the wellness extras. The Best Western Premier Aberdeen Kamloops pairs its indoor pool and hot tub with a sauna and a fitness centre, and its family rooms come with a kitchenette or a full kitchen, with interconnecting options. The Wingate by Wyndham Kamloops, rated 8.2 from more than two thousand reviews, the largest count on this page, has a spa and wellness centre next to its pool and hot tub. The Best Western Plus Kamloops Hotel offers a saltwater indoor pool, which some swimmers find gentler on the skin and eyes.

Location shapes the rest of the stay. The Thompson Hotel, rated 8.0, is downtown on Victoria Street, with an indoor pool, a hot tub and two restaurants, and a short walk to shops, dining and Riverside Park on the Thompson River. The Riverland Inn and Suites sits beside the South Thompson River with mountain views, an indoor pool, a hot tub and barbecue facilities for guests. The Travelodge by Wyndham Kamloops, less than one kilometre from City Hall, keeps things simple with an indoor pool, a hot tub, a garden and rooms with a microwave and refrigerator, plus free parking.

For flights and road trips, a different group fits better. The Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites Kamloops runs a free shuttle to Kamloops Airport, five kilometres away, and has an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness centre, a restaurant and a bar. The Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott, the highest rated here at 8.7, is seven kilometres from the airport, with a pool, a hot tub and some rooms facing the city or the river. The Holiday Inn Express Kamloops, just off Highway 1, includes a daily buffet breakfast and is pet friendly, which suits drivers who stop for one night.

A traveler's take

For a family trip, I would book the Hampton Inn by Hilton Kamloops first: the water slide keeps children busy, the rating is solid across many reviews, and the ski storage helps in winter. If you would rather walk to dinner, I recommend the Thompson Hotel downtown, and for an early flight, the Holiday Inn Hotel and Suites with its free airport shuttle is the most practical choice.

Family-friendly hotel with a saltwater indoor pool and daily breakfast

Why guests love it

A saltwater indoor pool is what I would book the Best Western Plus Kamloops Hotel for with children, alongside the hot tub, and it is a welcome option in the colder months. Family rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi, and the daily breakfast with warm dishes and fresh pastries makes mornings easy. There is no full-service restaurant mentioned for lunch or dinner, so plan those meals elsewhere in Kamloops.
