Best Arlington Hotels With a Pool

Stays in Arlington

The Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington combines an outdoor pool and hot tub with free on-site parking, 1.9 kilometers from AT&T Stadium and 5 kilometers from Six Flags Over Texas, a rare combination of stadium proximity and free parking in this price range. Its 9.5 rating across more than 1,300 reviews suggests the pool and parking setup holds up under heavy family traffic during game weekends (the hot tub alongside the pool covers cooler evenings when the outdoor pool alone would not).

Near Six Flags, the La Quinta by Wyndham Arlington North on 6 Flags Drive sits less than half a mile from the park entrance with its own outdoor pool and hot tub, plus a daily shuttle covering DFW Airport, Cowboys Stadium and other stops within 5 miles. That shuttle turns the pool hotel into a car-free base for a Six Flags day, useful for families who would rather not deal with theme-park parking twice in one trip.

On the interstate side, the Hampton Inn & Suites Dallas-Arlington-South pairs its outdoor pool with a location just off I-20, 19 miles from DFW Airport, making it a straightforward stop for road-trippers who want a swim before the next leg. The Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Arlington Entertainment District goes further with an interconnected indoor and outdoor pool, useful on the rare cold or rainy day when an outdoor-only pool would sit unused.

Arlington spreads out along its interstates rather than stacking up around a downtown core, so a hotel pool functions as the only real outdoor amenity within walking distance for most stays. The Six Flags corridor to the north pairs pool hotels with the water park across the street, while the entertainment district south of I-30 puts pool hotels a short walk from Texas Live's restaurants and bars. Either base gives a traveler a cool-down option that a downtown high-rise in Dallas or Fort Worth would not (the flat, sprawling layout means a pool substitutes for a nearby park in most of the city).
