The Best Hotels with Pools to Book in Niagara Falls

This Marriott outpost is so close to Niagara Falls that you can feel the spray on your face, and has facilities that will keep you in shape around the clock. In the 24-hour fitness center you’ll find cardiovascular machines, free weights and other gym equipment. If the cascading waters outside put you in the mood for a dip, head to the indoor heated pool.

Of all the hotels with pools in Niagara Falls, the Country Inn makes the best base for exploring the city’s sights. Situated in the Clifton Hill tourist district, a short stroll from North America’s most powerful waterfall, you can book a boat tour of the Falls or hover above them in a helicopter. The hotel also offers easy access to other popular attractions, including Fallsview Indoor Waterpark, Casino Niagara and the Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens.

Like a lagoon in the middle of a rainforest, the eye-catching indoor heated pool at the Best Western Plus Cairn Croft Hotel sits among lush tropical trees in a sun-bathed courtyard. Sink into one of the two huge hot tubs right next to the pool; the adjacent paved area with small umbrella-covered tables is a lovely place to while away time with a cup of coffee.

Though it doesn’t hold a candle to the epic waterworks outside, the Courtyard has its own waterfall – a pretty mosaic water feature in the middle of its indoor pool. For a satisfying meal, swing by the Keg Steakhouse + Bar and tuck into steak and fresh seafood before working it off at the 24-hour fitness center. End the day by sinking into plush bedding while catching a movie on the flat-screen TV.

It’s almost too easy to relax in the soothing surroundings of the DoubleTree Fallsview Resort & Spa. With a cedar sauna, fitness center, hot tub, two indoor saltwater pools and a spa, this is a place made for pampering. The on-site restaurant, Buchanans, is a blend of modern steakhouse and chic lounge, serving hand-cut steaks, local brews and VQA wines.

Riverside rooms with views of the majestic Falls make Vittoria Hotel & Suites one of the most popular hotels with a pool in Niagara Falls. The contemporary accommodation has been decorated using fabrics and materials inspired by the cascading water outside. After a long day exploring the real thing, ease into the heated indoor pool or hot tub.

Comfortable though the rooms may be, let’s face it – they’re not why you’re here. The USP of Great Wolf Lodge is its gargantuan indoor waterpark, with attractions including the four-story water fort treehouse, Fort Mackenzie; the Canada Vortex, with its 40ft (12m) drop into a water-jet-fueled vortex; and the Wooly Mammoth, a family raft ride down a tube.

The Holiday Inn Express is all about clean lines and uncluttered spaces – and that includes its swimming area. Minimalist but stylish, the pastel-hued indoor pool is flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows, so you’ll have some lovely views while doing the backstroke. If you need to sneak off to catch up on work, there’s a large desk in your room with an ergonomic chair, plus a Keurig coffeemaker to keep you sharp.

White Oaks has one of the largest spa facilities in Ontario, with 19 treatment rooms including a luxurious couples suite, all located on 13 acres (5ha) of land in the heart of wine country. A favorite among dignitaries and celebrities, this five-star resort has three restaurants and a multi-story fitness club that comes with a pool so mammoth, it looks like it could host the Olympics.
