Lévis Hotels with an Indoor Pool
With winters that run from December to March, an indoor pool is a real asset in Lévis, and five hotels listed here have one. The Quality Inn & Suites, rated 9.1, is the best reviewed. The Days Inn by Wyndham Levis in Saint-Nicolas pairs its pool with a hot tub and a sauna, the Comfort Inn & Suites has a heated pool and a hot tub, and the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Quebec City Levis and the Grand Hotel Times Levis combine their pools with family rooms. All of them make a good base for days in Old Quebec, a short ferry ride across the river.
Lévis faces Quebec City across the St. Lawrence, from Saint-Nicolas near the Quebec Bridge to the historic Vieux-Lévis. It is a calm, residential city with easy parking and hotels along Highway 20 and the Trans-Canada, linked to Old Quebec by a short ferry crossing. Its long winters explain why so many of its hotels have indoor pools. For visitors, it is a practical, quieter base than the old capital, with views of the Château Frontenac from the river.
Five indoor pools on the south shore
An indoor pool lets you swim whatever the weather, which matters on the south shore of the St. Lawrence, where snow and cold last for months. The hotels on this page were selected because their own descriptions mention an indoor or heated pool. I compare what comes with each one, a hot tub, a sauna, family rooms or breakfast, so that families, couples and travellers passing through can choose the pool that fits their stay, with Quebec City always within reach.
The Quality Inn & Suites is the best rated hotel on this list at 9.1 with more than 900 reviews. Located off the Trans-Canada Highway, it has an indoor pool, a gym and a business centre, and its rooms include a 50-inch flat-screen TV. A daily buffet breakfast and pet-friendly options make it practical for every kind of traveller. I would choose it when comfort and reliability matter more than extras, for example for a stopover on the way to the Gaspé or the Maritimes, or for a few days of sightseeing across the river.
For more than a swim, the Days Inn by Wyndham Levis, in the Saint-Nicolas sector near the Quebec Bridge, combines its indoor pool with a hot tub and a sauna, and includes a full American breakfast. It is the most reviewed hotel in Lévis, with more than 3,000 reviews and a 7.8 score. The Comfort Inn & Suites, also near the Quebec Bridge and the river, has an indoor heated pool, a hot tub, a fitness room and a free breakfast. Both suit travellers arriving from the west who want a warm pool after a long drive.
Families will look first at the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Quebec City Levis, rated 8.6, which has family rooms, an indoor swimming pool, a fitness room, a terrace and a family-friendly restaurant serving French cuisine. The Grand Hotel Times Levis, rated 8.4, offers family rooms with city views, an indoor pool, a sun terrace, a bar and a daily continental buffet breakfast, plus a coffee shop. Having a pool and a larger room in the same hotel makes evenings with children much easier, especially after a day of walking in Old Quebec.
The pool is the evening reward; the days belong to the river. The ferry links Lévis to the foot of Old Quebec in a few minutes, with a fine view of the Château Frontenac. The Parcours des Anses follows the shore of the St. Lawrence for walking and cycling, and the Terrasse de Lévis offers a wide panorama in every season. From Saint-Nicolas, the Quebec Bridge leads to the Aquarium du Québec, a good outing with children. Returning to a warm indoor pool after any of these is one of the simple pleasures of a stay in Lévis.
A traveler's takeFor an indoor pool in Lévis, I would choose the Quality Inn & Suites for its 9.1 rating and daily breakfast, or the Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Quebec City Levis if you travel with children and want a family room and a restaurant on site. My advice is to spend the day in Old Quebec by ferry and keep the swim for the evening. In winter, the Days Inn adds a hot tub and a sauna to its pool.
