The Best Hotels with Pools to Book in Saskatoon, Canada

You’ll find a pristine indoor pool and hot tub at the fitness center of this hotel, where the luxurious experiences keep on coming. From the two-storey presidential suite, take in panoramic views of the South Saskatchewan River through cathedral vaulted windows before settling down in front of the fireplace. Meanwhile, in the jacuzzi suite, the bubbles are already in your room.

Doing a good impression of the deck of a cruise ship, the newly revamped water park at the Saskatoon Hotel has a giant waterslide, pools for both children and adults, two whirlpools and a snack bar. Once you’ve dried off, drive down to the Forestry Farm Park and Zoo and hang out with meerkats, Goeldi’s monkeys, grizzly bears and the latest star attraction – a snow leopard.

Getting to the gorgeous courtyard swimming pool at the Saskatoon Inn is an adventure in itself. To go for a dip, wind your way through a spectacular tropical garden in the heart of the hotel – a lush paradise filled with hundreds of plants and flowers under large skylights. Further adding to the charm is an ornate footbridge crossing the pool, babbling brooks and fountains in the courtyard, and outdoor pathways lit with old-fashioned lamp posts.

You have waterslides and then you have what the Comfort Suites Saskatoon has going on. The wild water ride here measures in at 40ft (12m) and coils down from the ceiling into a heated pool like a huge red anaconda. Within splashing distance, there’s a separate hot tub to help get the stress of the day out. The suites here come with sofa beds, while the hotel also has a convenient location close to the Saskatchewan Aviation Museum and Learning Centre.

Set amid gardens right on the South Saskatchewan River, the impressive Delta Hotels by Marriott Bessborough has an atrium with two pools – including one for kids – as well as a fitness centre with a whirlpool tub, sauna and steam room. The hotel looks a bit like a castle, and you’ll certainly eat and drink like a king here, with dining options consisting of a Japanese restaurant, a garden-view cafe and a cocktail lounge.

Decked out with fireplaces and whirlpool tubs, the Hilton Garden Inn Saskatoon Downtown will relax you even before you get to the swimming pool. The aquamarine pool area with its chequered stripe has a cool retro feel, while there are some nice other touches at the hotel including heated underground parking across the street and the 24-hour Pavilion Pantry offering drinks and snacks.

As the name suggests, this hotel is ideally located on the campus of the University of Saskatchewan, close to Griffith Stadium, Saskatoon Forestry Farm and Zoo, the Circle Centre Mall and John G Diefenbaker International Airport. The spacious suites have fully-equipped kitchens, the pool and fitness centre are first-rate, and the complimentary hot breakfast buffet will get your day started in the right way.

A striking contemporary black building off Highway 11, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Saskatoon has an unpretentious vibe – whether it’s the continental breakfast served in an informal dining room, or the barbecue area and convenience store. The building’s eye-catching monochromatic exterior is mirrored in the indoor pool area – a pleasant, airy room with white tiles on the wall and bucket chairs at the water’s edge.
