Hotels with Hot Tubs in Strathcona County
A hot tub is the feature people look for in Strathcona County, where winters near Edmonton are long and cold. The hotels on this page, in Sherwood Park and nearby Fort Saskatchewan, all list a hot tub or a whirlpool, and most pair it with an indoor pool, a fitness centre or a free breakfast. None of the listings mentions a sauna, so this page is really about hot tubs. Sandman Signature Sherwood Park Hotel, Best Western Plus Sherwood Park, Four Points by Sheraton Sherwood Park and Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sherwood Park are the main choices, while The Kanata Fort Saskatchewan Hotel and The Dragonfly Inn are the highest rated.

Hotels with a Hot Tub in Strathcona County
Hot tubs in Strathcona County are listed at hotels in Sherwood Park and Fort Saskatchewan, and none of the listings mentions a sauna. Most pair the tub with an indoor pool, a fitness centre or breakfast. I would choose by the rest of the package, since every hotel here has the feature that matters most.
Sandman Signature Sherwood Park Hotel is the best known option, rated 9.4 from more than 1,100 guests. Its listing mentions an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness centre, a steakhouse and bar on site, free Wi-Fi and parking, and it is pet-friendly, with a 34-minute taxi ride to the airport. I would choose it when you want to soak after a long drive and eat at the hotel afterwards, because the steakhouse means you never need to go back out into an Alberta evening. I would ask about pool and hot tub hours when booking.
Best Western Plus Sherwood Park and Four Points by Sheraton Sherwood Park both list an indoor pool, a hot tub and a fitness centre. The Best Western scores 9.0, includes a free breakfast, and is a short drive from Sunridge Ski Area, so the hot tub suits a day on the slopes. Four Points scores 8.6, has an on-site restaurant and is a short walk from Sherwood Drive. I would book the Best Western after skiing and Four Points when you want a restaurant and a walkable location. Clarion Hotel & Conference Centre also lists a pool and hot tub, but scores 7.0.
Holiday Inn Express & Suites Sherwood Park-Edmonton Area by IHG lists a whirlpool, a fitness centre, a complimentary breakfast bar, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning and full-service laundry, and welcomes pets. It scores 8.6 from more than 550 guests and lists a 33-minute taxi ride to the airport. The listing says a whirlpool is available, so I would ask whether it is open when you book. I would pick it for a practical stay with breakfast included and a whirlpool at the end of the day. Pets are welcome, which is useful after a long drive with a dog.
In Fort Saskatchewan, The Kanata Fort Saskatchewan Hotel lists a hot tub and fitness centre, pet-friendly rooms, contemporary rooms with minifridges and microwaves, and a free breakfast and parking, and it scores 9.2 from more than 400 guests. The Dragonfly Inn Sherwood Park lists a pool and hot tub and free parking at a 34-minute taxi ride from the airport, and scores 9.8, but from only 39 reviews. I would read recent reviews before booking the Dragonfly, and book the Kanata when you are visiting Fort Saskatchewan itself. Neither listing gives hot tub hours or pet terms, so confirm both.
A traveler's takeFor a hot tub stay in Strathcona County, I would choose Sandman Signature Sherwood Park Hotel: the indoor pool and hot tub, the steakhouse on site and free parking are all in the listing, and its 9.4 is among the highest scores here. After a day at Sunridge Ski Area, I would pick Best Western Plus Sherwood Park, which includes breakfast. For a visit to Fort Saskatchewan, I would book The Kanata Fort Saskatchewan Hotel and ask whether pets are welcome.

Sherwood Drive is a short walk away. The listing gives few room details, so check bedding before booking with children.
3.5Clarion Hotel & Conference Centre
Hot Tub & Sauna · 568 reviewsIndoor pool and hot tub with easy airport access in Strathcona County
Why guests love itThe indoor pool and hot tub are the main draw for families here, useful through an Alberta winter when outdoor plans shrink. Breakfast is free, an on-site bar and restaurant covers dinner without another drive, and parking and Wi-Fi cost nothing. I would book it for a practical stopover east of Edmonton rather than a holiday stay: the airport is about 34 minutes away by taxi, and Sunridge Ski Area, roughly 8 minutes by taxi, makes a good half-day outing for children learning to ski.
