Hotels With Indoor Pools in Medicine Hat

Eight hotels in Medicine Hat carry the indoor pool tag, and all eight back it up in their listings, which matters in a city with cold prairie winters. The pools differ more than the label suggests: Holiday Inn Express & Suites builds its pool around a two-story waterslide, Hampton Inn & Suites uses saltwater, TownePlace Suites by Marriott adds a separate children's pool, and Wyndham Garden and the Econo Lodge pair an indoor pool with a rooftop pool. All eight sit between 2 and 5.5 miles from Medicine Hat Airport, along the Trans-Canada Highway corridor, a short drive from the Saamis Tepee.

Medicine Hat is a prairie city in southeast Alberta on the South Saskatchewan River, with sunny summers and cold winters that make an indoor pool useful all year. Its pool hotels line the Trans-Canada Highway corridor near Medicine Hat Mall, a short drive from the Saamis Tepee and Strathcona Island Park.

Saltwater, Slides and Rooftop Pools

In Medicine Hat, an indoor pool is the standard amenity, so I choose by what comes with it. For children, the waterslide at Holiday Inn Express or the children's pool at TownePlace Suites; for adults, the sauna and steam room at the Best Western Premier or the saltwater pool at Hampton Inn & Suites. Ratings run from 7.1 at Wyndham Garden to 9.2 at the Best Western Premier, a wider gap than between the pools themselves.

For adults, two hotels stand out. The Best Western Premier Executive Residency Medicine Hat, rated 9.2 from 217 reviews, surrounds its indoor pool with a hot tub, a sauna and a steam room, and adds an outdoor fireplace terrace and bathrobes in family rooms. Hampton Inn & Suites Medicine Hat, rated 8.9 from 275 reviews, is the only hotel here with a saltwater indoor pool, a detail I value for daily swims, plus a hot tub, a fitness center and a sun terrace. Both sit about 5 to 5.5 miles from Medicine Hat Airport, a short drive from the Saamis Tepee and the South Saskatchewan River.

For children, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Medicine Hat by IHG is the clear choice: its indoor pool is built around a two-story waterslide, and the suites have a microwave, a fridge and a coffee kit. It sits on the Trans-Canada Highway, 2.8 miles from the Saamis Tepee, and is rated 8.1 from 232 reviews. TownePlace Suites by Marriott Medicine Hat, rated 9.1 from 136 reviews, is calmer, with an indoor pool and a separate children's pool for the youngest, plus free bicycles. It is 0.6 miles from Medicine Hat Mall, useful when the weather pushes the day indoors.

Two mid-range hotels pair an indoor pool with a hot tub. Days Inn by Wyndham Medicine Hat, rated 8.7 from 566 reviews, also has a fitness room and rooms with fireplaces, sofa beds and a PS4, a good mix for a family evening after a swim. Comfort Inn & Suites Medicine Hat Shopping Centre, rated 8.2 from 561 reviews, adds a fitness center, express check-in and check-out, and family rooms with a refrigerator and a microwave. Its free private parking is off site, the one practical detail I would check before arriving. Both hotels are about 4 miles from Medicine Hat Airport.

Two hotels add a rooftop pool to the indoor one. Wyndham Garden Medicine Hat Conference Center, rated 7.1 from 336 reviews, has both, plus a hot tub, a fitness center and a family-friendly Indian restaurant on a quiet street. The Econo Lodge Inn & Suites Medicine Hat Highway 1, rated 7.3 from 163 reviews, pairs its rooftop and indoor pools with a sauna, a game room and a free airport shuttle. Their ratings are the lowest of the eight, so I would book them for the pools and the convenience rather than for comfort, and choose one of the higher-rated hotels when I can.

A traveler's take

With children, I recommend Holiday Inn Express & Suites Medicine Hat by IHG, whose indoor pool is built around a two-story waterslide. For adults, I would choose the Best Western Premier Executive Residency Medicine Hat, rated 9.2, where the indoor pool comes with a hot tub, a sauna and a steam room, about 5 miles from Medicine Hat Airport.

Why guests love it

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Medicine Hat is built around one thing children remember: an indoor pool with a two-story waterslide. It is a 4-star hotel on TransCanada Highway 1, rated 8.1 across 232 reviews, so it suits families crossing the prairies by car. Suites have a microwave, fridge and coffee kit for easy snacks and breakfasts. The Saamis Teepee is 2.8 miles away for a short outing. I would book it as a family road-trip stop where the pool does the entertaining.

I would book it as a budget family stop on a cross-prairie drive.

Why guests love it

Wyndham Garden Medicine Hat Conference Center gives families two pools, a rooftop one and an indoor one, plus a hot tub and a fitness center. The family-friendly restaurant serves Indian cuisine with vegetarian and dairy-free options, and the quiet street helps children sleep. Medicine Hat Airport is about 2 miles away. A 7.1 rating from 336 reviews suggests some unevenness, so I would see it as a pool-focused short stay.
