Hot Tub and Sauna Hotels in East Montreal

M Montreal is a two-star, budget-tier stay with dorms and private rooms, and for a family I would book a private room rather than a dorm bed. Some rooms have a kitchen, which helps with meals, and the hot tub is a draw after a day out. A bar with live entertainment makes evenings lively, so light sleepers should ask for a quiet room. Vieux-Port de Montréal is nine minutes away by taxi.

Hôtel Mortagne is a four-star convention hotel in Boucherville with a dedicated spa floor, and I would recommend it to families who want an indoor pool and some space. The pool and hot tub are joined by a gym and a lounge, and a seasonal grill restaurant handles dinner. The Nobel / Volta bus stop is a two-minute walk and Restaurant Sens three minutes. Montréal-Trudeau airport is about thirty-eight minutes away by taxi.

Super 8 Lachenaie/Terrebonne is built around an indoor pool with a two-storey waterslide and a hot tub, so the children have something to look forward to whatever the weather in Terrebonne. Free continental breakfast and free parking keep the morning simple when you are travelling by car. Rooms are plain two-star rooms, and the pet-friendly policy means the dog can come too. I would book it for a short, pool-centred weekend.

I would choose Hôtel WelcomInns in Boucherville when I want a hot tub and sauna without paying for a dedicated spa floor. It has an indoor pool, a gym and a free breakfast buffet, and its 8.0 rating comes from about 1,100 reviews. Full-service laundry helps on longer stays. The rooms are straightforward, 1195 Ampère is a one-minute walk, and the airport is around 34 minutes by taxi, so I would not pick it for a late arrival.

Imperia Hotel & Suites in Terrebonne works for families who want more room than a standard motel: upgraded suites, kitchenettes in some rooms, an indoor pool and a hot tub. Parents get a restaurant on site and a martini bar for the evening, which is rare at this level. The Groupe Plein Air Terrebonne outdoor area is about eight minutes away by taxi. My advice is to ask for a room with a kitchenette when you book.

HÔTEL SPA CARRÉ ST-LOUIS is a better fit for couples than for young families, though it can work with older children. The draws are a rooftop Jacuzzi, an indoor pool and a restaurant serving Indian and Italian dishes. Sherbrooke metro station is a minute away and La Fontaine Park a ten-minute walk, so getting around the Plateau without a car is easy. Breakfast is served, and the 7.8 score comes from 371 reviews.

Holiday Inn Montréal-Longueuil is a three-star chain hotel by the highway in Longueuil, built around an indoor pool and whirlpool, and I would recommend it to families who want a pool near La Ronde. The amusement park is nine minutes away by taxi. An atrium restaurant and bar are on site, and there is a fitness centre. The St-Charles E. / Geoffrion bus stop is a two-minute walk.

Best Western Plus Montreal East, on the city's east side, mixes standard rooms with whirlpool suites, so parents can choose between space and a soak. Breakfast and Wi-Fi are free and there is a pool on site to keep children busy. The Sherbrooke bus stop is a one-minute walk away for trips into central Montreal, and a Cora breakfast restaurant is two minutes on foot. My advice is to treat it as a calm, practical base.

Impéria Hotel & Suites Boucherville has the basics a family looks for: an indoor pool, a gym and a sauna, plus a restaurant and bar with a terrace for an easy dinner. Some rooms have a kitchenette, useful for snacks and simple breakfasts, and a full-service laundry helps on longer trips. Bistro Martini Grill is a minute away on foot. The 7.4 score from 534 reviews is middling, so I would book it as a practical South Shore base.
