Summers are hot in Calgary, and there are few better ways to cool off than in a pool. Thankfully, swimming pools are a regular hotel fixture. Explore the epic surrounding scenery, return for a refreshing dip, and then retire to your soothing room for a good night’s sleep. Now, that’s what we call a vacation. Here’s our pick of the best hotels with pools – bookable on Culture Trip – in Calgary, Canada.
1. Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel, for child’s play

Your kids are going to love it at this Sheraton. It’s home to the Oasis Waterpark, where a winding, turquoise water slide curls and zips past columns in the window-lined pool space. The good news for everyone else? The slide has a dedicated splash zone, so you can still stroke through the main pool or recline in the hot tub in peace. A range of on-site restaurants – including a pub stocked with microbrews – and calming rooms with crisp white sheets are other reasons to book into this stay by the Calgary International Airport. What could be simpler? Swim, dry, get some shut-eye and fly.
2. Fairmont Palliser, for cocktail treats

This grande-dame hotel – opened in 1914 – draws well-heeled locals with its crafted afternoon teas, avocado-toast brunches, excellent people-watching and luxurious spa. Book in for a Himalayan salt stone massage, then spend an hour lounging around the atmospheric pool area, complete with leafy palms and regal columns. There’s a hot tub should you fancy a steamy soak, though you can warm up another way – with a handcrafted Canadian rye cocktail in the atmospheric Hawthorn Dining Room and Bar.
3. Calgary Marriott Downtown Hotel, for peaceful solitude

The rooms at this Marriott are contemporary yet classic, with watercolor-style murals inspired by Calgary’s epic natural surrounds and gilded statement floor lamps. However, if you’re keen on swimming, you can enjoy all that later. Drop your bags and head straight for the pool. It’s indoor and heated and features a frothing hot tub. The slick pool itself is flanked by loungers so that you can strike a pose and relax with a book or magazine post-dip. Want to be alone? The complex is only open to Marriott guests, so you’ll get more privacy than at some of the other hotel pools in the city.
4. Grey Eagle Resort and Casino, for casino high jinks

6. Deerfoot Inn and Casino, for an all-you-can-eat buffet

The pool at the Deerfoot Inn and Casino is really more like a mini water park. A two-story, four-curl water slide plunges kids into the shallows, alongside two hot tubs, a full swimming pool and a dedicated toddler area. It’s the perfect excuse to tucker out the little ones before hitting the Saturday all-you-can-eat prime rib buffet, available in the Mohave Grill. An on-site casino provides a more adult kind of entertainment, but the young ones will sleep deep in the comfy family suites, with their attractive wooden headboards and, crucially, free cookies.
7. Hyatt Regency Calgary, for warm fires and wine

Set in a historic sandstone building downtown, this Hyatt Regency balances traditional style with modern conveniences. Look no further than its mirror-like pool area with windows overlooking the city skyline and festooned with greenery. After a dip, stake out a corner at one of the stylish dining spaces – these include a lounge warmed by a flickering fire and a moody restaurant with velvety sapphire chairs. Tuck into an Alberta sirloin with truffle potato gratin, washed down with plummy cabernet sauvignon harvested in the nearby Okanagan Valley. A true Canada high.
8. The Carriage House Hotel and Conference Centre, for a private jacuzzi
