Montreal Hotels with an Indoor Pool, Downtown and Midtown
For an indoor pool in Montreal, I would sleep downtown: HONEYROSE Hotel has its pool on the 15th floor on boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest, and the Four Seasons Hotel Montreal has a sky-lit pool on rue De la Montagne. The third hotel on this page, Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Midtown, sits on boulevard Décarie and suits travellers with a car more than sightseers. The three average 8.9 out of 10; 2,138 reviews in all. By car, Montréal-Trudeau Airport is about 20 minutes from the Four Seasons. The pool matters most from December to March, when an evening swim replaces a walk outside. In July, during the festivals, I would pick by location first.
Montreal is an island city where winter shapes how visitors move: the RÉSO links downtown metro stations, shopping centres and office towers underground, and hotels plug into the same rhythm. French is the language of the street, rue De la Montagne and boulevard De Maisonneuve keep their French names on every map, and the summer festival season around the Quartier des spectacles changes the city completely.
Which Montreal pool hotel to book
On this page, HONEYROSE is a short walk from Place-des-Arts station on the Green Line, in the Quartier des spectacles where the summer festivals take place, and the Four Seasons is on rue De la Montagne in the Golden Square Mile. For Old Montreal, ride the Green Line to Berri-UQAM and change to the Orange Line, or walk downhill. Hilton Garden Inn Midtown is on the Orange Line instead. Among other hotels in Montreal, Hyatt Centric Montreal, in Old Montreal, has a heated outdoor rooftop pool rather than an indoor one. Central Station (Gare Centrale), for VIA Rail, is about five minutes by car from the Four Seasons.
HONEYROSE Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel at 355 boulevard De Maisonneuve Ouest, puts its leisure floor on the 15th storey: an indoor pool, a sauna and a hot tub with a view over the downtown skyline. It has 143 rooms, a 9.2 score and 1,526 reviews, the largest review base of the three. McGill and Place-des-Arts metro stations are both close, so a swim fits between a museum and a show. I would choose it for a first visit in winter. Its pool looks over the Place des Festivals, a front-row view during the summer festivals.
The Four Seasons Hotel Montreal, opened in May 2019 at 1440 rue De la Montagne, has a sky-lit indoor pool 10 metres long and 4.5 metres wide, with a maximum depth of one metre. That depth rules out diving and makes it a soaking pool more than a training pool, which is why it has a current generator for swimming in place. The Spa Guerlain, with eight treatment rooms, a steam room, an infrared sauna and Kneipp hydrotherapy, is a separate area. Rated 9.3 from 175 reviews, it is my choice for a couple, not for lengths.
Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Midtown, at 6939 boulevard Décarie, sits north of Côte-des-Neiges by the Décarie Expressway, near Namur station on the Orange Line. It has an indoor pool and a fitness centre. Like the Four Seasons, it accepts pets; HONEYROSE does not. Rated 8.2 from 437 reviews, it works for drivers with their own car, one night before an early flight from Montréal-Trudeau, or a visit to family in Côte-des-Neiges. For a sightseeing weekend I would not book it: the expressway surroundings are no place for a stroll, and Old Montreal is a long ride down the Orange Line.
Among other hotels in Montreal, Warwick Le Crystal, at 1100 rue De la Montagne, has an indoor saltwater pool on its 12th floor next to an outdoor hot tub; the same floor has a sauna and a fitness centre. Recent guest reports on the outdoor hot tub are mixed, with some finding it closed for maintenance, so I would book it for the pool, not the tub. That pool makes it a third downtown option if HONEYROSE and the Four Seasons are full during the Montreal International Jazz Festival or the Grand Prix weekend.
A traveler's takeFor most visitors I would book HONEYROSE Hotel: a pool with a sauna and hot tub, two metro stations nearby, and the most guest reviews of the three. The Four Seasons is better for a couple who want the Spa Guerlain and a quiet soak, but its shallow soaking pool will disappoint anyone planning to swim lengths. Hilton Garden Inn Midtown makes sense with a car or an early flight; it is on the Orange Line, but the ride to Old Montreal is long and the hotel faces the Décarie Expressway. In winter the pool earns its place; in summer I would choose on location.
4.7Four Seasons Hotel Montreal
Indoor Pool · 175 reviewsIndoor pool, spa and hot tub at a pet-friendly Montreal luxury hotel
Why guests love itFour Seasons Hotel Montreal is listed as family-friendly, and the indoor swimming pool is what I would mention first to parents, since it works in every season. A hot tub and a spa and wellness centre give adults their own time, and the rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and electric kettles for a warm drink. Pets are welcome too. For families arriving by electric car, the on-site charging station is a practical detail that is easy to overlook.

Indoor Pool · 1526 reviewsCity centre hotel with an indoor pool, sauna, and hot tub
Why guests love itHoneyrose Hotel puts families in central Montreal, close to the Eaton Centre, the Convention Centre, McGill University and the Museum of Contemporary Art. The indoor pool with a view is the highlight for children after a day of walking, and parents can use the sauna, hot tub and fitness centre. A restaurant and a bar are on site, so dinner can stay simple when everyone is tired. It is a convenient base for exploring downtown on foot.
4.1Hilton Garden Inn Montreal Midtown, Quebec, Canada
Indoor Pool · 437 reviewsComfortable stay with an indoor pool and Italian dining near the airport
Why guests love itHilton Garden Inn Montreal Midtown gives a family the practical extras that matter on a city break: every room has a refrigerator and a microwave for snacks and simple breakfasts, plus air-conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Children can use the indoor pool after a day of sightseeing, and the traditional Italian restaurant on site keeps dinner easy. There is also a fitness centre. With an 8.2 score from 437 reviews, I would book it as a reliable Montreal base.
Local tips
- 1HONEYROSE's pool is open from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m., so a late swim still fits after an evening show in the Quartier des spectacles.
- 2Arriving by VIA Rail, Central Station is about 14 minutes on foot from HONEYROSE: easy with a backpack in summer, but with suitcases on an icy January evening I would take a taxi for the short ride.
- 3Since 2026 the Formula 1 Canadian Grand Prix has moved from June to the third or fourth weekend of May, so downtown now has two busy stretches: late May for the race, then late June to early July for the Montreal International Jazz Festival.
- 4For a Canadiens game, the Four Seasons is the closest of the three: the Bell Centre is about 8 minutes on foot from the hotel, and Lucien-L'Allier station is beside it.
- 5In January and February, pick a downtown hotel near McGill or Place-des-Arts: the RÉSO underground network lets you reach shops and metro lines without crossing icy streets.
- 6Drivers at Hilton Garden Inn Midtown should know that its on-site parking is covered but limited, with a height restriction, so a van or a roof box may not fit; the fitness centre there is open 24 hours.
