Laval Hotels with a Hot Tub or Sauna
Laval, the island city just north of Montreal, has three hotels on this page, and only one of them offers both a hot tub and a sauna. The Sheraton Laval Hotel, connected to Carrefour Laval, has an indoor hot tub, a sauna and a spa with massages. Le St-Martin Hotel & Suites, the best rated at 8.8, has a seasonal outdoor hot tub in its garden. The Ômage Hotel, Montreal Laval has an indoor pool but no hot tub or sauna in its listing, so I would only choose it if a swim is enough. Between soaks, the Cosmodôme, Centropolis and the Mille Îles river are close by.
Laval is Quebec's third-largest city, built on Île Jésus just north of Montreal, known for Carrefour Laval and Centropolis, the Cosmodôme and the green shores of the Mille Îles river, linked to Montreal by the orange metro line.
A sauna, a garden tub, a pool
A hot tub or sauna earns its place in Laval in winter, after a cold day of shopping at Carrefour Laval or skating, and on long work trips to the business district around Le Carré. The orange metro line links Laval to downtown Montreal, so you can sleep in a quieter area and still spend the day in the city.
The Sheraton Laval Hotel is the complete option for heat and relaxation. Its listing names an indoor hot tub and a sauna, plus a spa with massage services and a gym, and the hotel is directly connected to Carrefour Laval, one of the largest shopping centres in the Montreal area. That connection matters in January: you can shop, eat and come back to the sauna without putting on a coat. It scores 8.6 from nearly 600 reviews and welcomes families. I would book a massage ahead on weekends, when the spa is most in demand.
Le St-Martin Hotel & Suites has the best guest score on this page, 8.8 from almost 1,300 reviews. Its hot tub is outdoors and seasonal, set in the hotel garden, so check that it is open for your dates before booking around it. The hotel sits in downtown Laval, steps from the financial and shopping district, and Carrefour Laval is about 3 km away. A free continental breakfast and a fitness centre are included, and the property accepts pets. I find it the best balance of comfort and value here when the outdoor tub is in season.
The Ômage Hotel, Montreal Laval, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel, appears under this label but its listing mentions an indoor swimming pool, a fitness centre and a lounge, not a hot tub or a sauna. It scores 8.3 and has a restaurant serving American and local dishes, which makes it a solid hotel on its own terms. I prefer to say plainly that it does not match the hot tub and sauna promise, so you can choose it for the pool and the design, and look to the Sheraton if dry heat or warm water is the real reason for your trip.
Laval itself offers good reasons to stay beyond the hotel. The Cosmodôme, a space science centre, is a favourite with families and curious adults. Centropolis gathers restaurants and a cinema around an outdoor plaza, close to Carrefour Laval. The Mille Îles river, along Laval's northern shore, has a regional park with canoe and kayak rental in summer and skating paths in winter. The Montmorency metro station, at the end of the orange line, connects to downtown Montreal, the Plateau and Old Montreal for a day in the city, then back to a hot tub in the evening.
A traveler's takeI would choose the Sheraton Laval Hotel, because it is the only hotel here with both an indoor hot tub and a sauna, plus a spa with massages. My advice is to spend the afternoon at Carrefour Laval through the indoor connection, then finish with the sauna and a soak before dinner, without stepping outside in winter.
4.4Le St-Martin Hotel & Suites
Hot Tub & Sauna · 1287 reviewsDowntown Laval hotel with a seasonal hot tub and fitness center
Why guests love itA free continental breakfast and a garden are what I would point out to families at Le St-Martin Hotel & Suites, in downtown Laval steps from the financial and shopping district. Carrefour Laval shopping centre is 3 km away for a rainy afternoon, and the seasonal outdoor hot tub gives parents a moment to relax. A fitness centre is on site, and pets are accepted. Guests rate the hotel 8.8 across 1,287 reviews, a reassuring score.
4.3Sheraton Laval Hotel

4.2Ômage Hotel, Montreal Laval, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Hot Tub & Sauna · 342 reviewsComfortable rooms, an indoor pool, and a restaurant with diverse options
Why guests love itÔmage Hotel in Laval suits families who prefer a calmer base north of Montreal island. The indoor swimming pool is the main attraction for children, and parents can use the fitness centre while they swim. Rooms are air-conditioned with free WiFi.
