Lethbridge Hotels With a Hot Tub or Sauna
After a day in the chinook wind or on the coulee trails of the Oldman River, heat is what most travellers want in Lethbridge. Ten hotels on this page carry the hot tub and sauna tag, but only one lists a sauna: the Ramada by Wyndham Lethbridge, 5 km from the airport. Eight list a hot tub, most of them beside an indoor pool, from the Hampton Inn & Suites near Casino Lethbridge to the Holiday Inn Lethbridge with its waterpark. The Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge carries the tag but its listing mentions only an indoor pool and a tropical courtyard, so I would not book it for a hot tub.
Lethbridge is the largest city in southern Alberta, spread along the coulees of the Oldman River valley. The High Level Bridge, a railway viaduct opened in 1909, crosses the valley west of downtown, and the Nikka Yuko Japanese Garden sits beside Henderson Lake. Strong chinook winds from the Rockies are part of daily life, and winters swing quickly between mild and bitterly cold days.
Where to stay
Sauna or hot tub in Lethbridge
I would choose by the kind of heat you want. A sauna means the Ramada, the only one in the list. A hot tub next to a pool for the whole family points to the Holiday Inn Lethbridge or the Wingate by Wyndham. For a quiet soak with a good score, the Hampton Inn & Suites and the Quality Inn & Suites, side by side near Casino Lethbridge, both pair a hot tub with an indoor pool.
The Ramada by Wyndham Lethbridge is the only hotel on this page whose listing mentions a sauna, alongside a fitness centre. It is 5 km from Lethbridge Airport, with air-conditioned rooms and private bathrooms, and it scores 7.9 from 506 reviews. Its listing does not mention a pool, so it suits a traveller who wants a sauna after a workout rather than a family looking for a swim. The SureStay Plus Hotel by Best Western Lethbridge, also 5 km from the airport, offers a hot tub, a fitness centre and a daily continental breakfast, accepts pets and scores 8.3 from 178 reviews.
Two hotels near Casino Lethbridge, between Highways 3 and 4, make an easy pair. The Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Lethbridge, a one-minute walk from the casino, has a heated indoor pool, a hot tub and a gym, serves breakfast daily and scores 8.5 from 335 reviews. The Quality Inn & Suites next door has an indoor pool and a hot tub, accepts pets and scores 8.4 from 235 reviews. For a road trip towards the Crowsnest Pass or the Montana border, either one gives you a hot soak before an early start, and the Hampton adds breakfast to the deal.
Families will look at the Holiday Inn Lethbridge by IHG first: its hot tub sits beside an indoor pool and a waterpark, with a fitness centre, a lounge and a restaurant, and it scores 8.2 from 295 reviews. The Wingate by Wyndham Lethbridge, 9 km from the airport, pairs its indoor pool and hot tub with family rooms, free parking and a paid airport shuttle, and scores 8.5 from 454 reviews. The Comfort Inn, near the ENMAX Centre, has an indoor heated pool, a hot tub and an exercise room, includes a free continental breakfast and accepts pets, with a score of 8.0.
Two more hotels complete the list. The Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Lethbridge, 8 km from the airport, has an indoor pool with a view, a hot tub, a fitness centre and free bicycles, and scores 8.3 from 148 reviews. The Coast Lethbridge Hotel & Conference Centre, 7 km from the airport, adds a restaurant to its indoor pool and hot tub, with a lower score of 7.6. As for the Sandman Signature Lethbridge Lodge, rated 8.2, its tropical indoor courtyard and pool are pleasant in winter, but its listing does not mention a hot tub or a sauna.
A traveler's takeFor a winter stay built around heat, I recommend the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Lethbridge: a heated indoor pool, a hot tub, breakfast every day and an 8.5 score. Lethbridge is one of the windiest cities in Canada because of the chinooks that come down from the Rockies, and a hot soak at the end of the day helps. If a sauna is the priority, I would book the Ramada instead.
