Hot Tub and Sauna Hotels in Trois-Rivières, Quebec
Three Trois-Rivières hotels carry the hot tub and sauna label, and they deliver it in three different ways. The Delta Hotels by Marriott Trois Rivieres Conference Centre combines an indoor pool, hot tub and sauna downtown, the Super 8 by Wyndham off Highway 155 pairs a hot tub with a 24-metre waterslide, and L'Auberge Du Lac St-Pierre sits by Lake Saint-Pierre with a sauna and outdoor hot tubs. Only two of the three list a sauna, so the label is looser than it looks. I compare them below by what the water facilities actually are and where each hotel leaves you.
Winters in Trois-Rivières are long and snowy, and that is the best argument for a hot tub or a sauna here. The city sits at the mouth of the Saint-Maurice on the St. Lawrence, with its old quarter, the Boréalis museum about the paper industry and the riverside park within a short distance of each other. The Mauricie region to the north, including La Mauricie National Park, draws hikers and skiers, so I would treat the sauna as the end of a day outside and book downtown if evenings out matter.
Three Very Different Ways to Soak
A hot tub and sauna tag can mean a quiet auberge with outdoor tubs or a family hotel with a waterslide. Here the three hotels differ more than the label suggests, so the choice depends on whether you want a downtown spa routine, a lakeside retreat or a pool-and-hot-tub family stop.
The Delta Hotels by Marriott Trois Rivieres Conference Centre is the most complete answer to the label. The listing describes a downtown hotel with an indoor pool, a hot tub and a sauna, advertised as ideal for year-round relaxation, five minutes on foot from the St. Lawrence River. Pet-friendly rooms have a 55-inch TV and a coffee maker, and city or river views are available. With a score of 8.4 across 706 reviews, it is the one I would book if you want all three water facilities under one roof and the old downtown within walking distance.
L'Auberge Du Lac St-Pierre is the most atmospheric of the group. It stands by Lake Saint-Pierre with direct access to the riverbank, and the listing mentions a seasonal outdoor pool, a sauna and outdoor hot tubs. Massage services, a gastronomic restaurant and complimentary use of bicycles round out the stay, and the rooms include a TV, a DVD player, a coffee maker and bathrobes. It scores 8.3 across 805 reviews. I would choose it for a slower, quieter trip in warm months, since the pool is seasonal, and I would expect to drive into town for sightseeing.
The Super 8 by Wyndham Trois-Rivieres is a different proposition, aimed at families and drivers. It sits off Highway 155, less than 15 minutes' drive from Trois-Rivières Airport, and its indoor pool has a 24-metre waterslide, with a hot tub and a fitness centre alongside. Pet-friendly rooms are available and a breakfast to go is offered. The listing does not mention a sauna, so I would not count on one. A score of 8 across 1,886 reviews makes it the most reviewed of the three, a reasonable practical pick when children or a dog are coming along.
Before you book, I would be straightforward about what the label covers. A hot tub is confirmed at all three, a sauna only at the Delta and L'Auberge Du Lac St-Pierre, and an outdoor setup only at the auberge, where the pool is seasonal. None of the listings describes a full spa program except for the auberge's massage services. If a proper sauna matters, I would rank the Delta first for its downtown position and the auberge first for its setting by the lake. The scores run 8.4, 8.3 and 8, so none is a weak choice on guest feedback; the real difference between them is the setting.
A traveler's takeIf a sauna is the point of the trip, I would book the Delta Hotels by Marriott Trois Rivieres Conference Centre for the combination of hot tub, sauna and indoor pool, with the St. Lawrence River five minutes away on foot. I would turn to L'Auberge Du Lac St-Pierre for a quieter stay by the lake in warm months, with its outdoor hot tubs and bicycles included. The Super 8 by Wyndham works for a family, with the waterslide and a hot tub, though I would not plan on a sauna there.

Why guests love itA five-minute walk to the St. Lawrence River is what I would highlight for families at the Delta Hotels Trois-Rivières Conference Centre, with the historic areas, shops and restaurants of downtown close by. Back at the hotel, the indoor pool, hot tub and sauna work in every season. Rooms have a 55-inch TV and a coffee maker, some with river views, and pets are accepted. Guests rate the hotel 8.4 across 706 reviews.

Why guests love itI would recommend L'Auberge du Lac St-Pierre to families who want water and open space near Trois-Rivières. The inn sits by Lake Saint-Pierre with direct access to the riverbank, and complimentary bicycles make an easy outing with older children. The seasonal outdoor pool keeps summer afternoons simple, while the sauna, outdoor hot tubs and massages suit parents. The gastronomic restaurant covers dinner. Rooms include a DVD player and bathrobes.
4.0Super 8 by Wyndham Trois-Rivieres
Hot Tub & Sauna · 1886 reviewsFamily-friendly hotel with a waterslide, hot tub, and pet-friendly options
Why guests love itSuper 8 by Wyndham Trois-Rivières is a three-star hotel off Highway 155, and I would recommend it to families who value a pool. The indoor pool has a 24-metre waterslide, which children will remember, and the hot tub and fitness centre are there for the adults. Pet-friendly rooms are available, and a breakfast to go helps with an early start. Trois-Rivières Airport is under fifteen minutes by car.
