Known as the Paris of the Prairies because of its eight bridges spanning the South Saskatchewan River, Saskatoon is one of the fastest-growing cities in Canada. Just like the City of Light, there’s a palpable sense that this is a place on the move, with exciting additions around each corner, whether it’s the recently-opened Remai Modern museum or a string of new restaurants, breweries and bars. To tap into the vibe, check into one of these fine Saskatoon hotels with a pool – all bookable with Culture Trip.

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.

Sheraton Cavalier Saskatoon Hotel, for cruise-like facilities

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.

Saskatoon Inn, for lush surroundings

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.
