Arlington, Texas Hotels with a Swimming Pool
Pools matter in Arlington. Texas summers are long and hot, a day at Six Flags Over Texas or Hurricane Harbor leaves everyone wanting water, and a game at AT&T Stadium or Globe Life Field often ends in the heat of the evening. The hotels on this page list a pool, and they are not all the same kind: an infinity pool at the Loews Arlington, an interconnected indoor and outdoor pool at the Courtyard in the entertainment district, indoor pools for cooler months, and year-round or seasonal outdoor pools. I describe what each listing says, with the distances to the parks and stadiums as given.
Arlington is a sports and theme-park city between Dallas and Fort Worth, with stadium arches on the skyline. It is hot much of the year, which makes the pool a real part of a stay, not a bonus.
Pools from infinity edge to indoor
The type of pool changes how you use it. An infinity pool with a view suits an evening drink after a game. An indoor pool works in winter and on stormy days. A year-round outdoor pool is a fair compromise, and a seasonal one needs a check of the dates. I list hotels whose descriptions mention a pool and I say which kind, so you do not discover a closed pool on arrival.
The Loews Arlington Hotel offers the most striking pool in this group. The listing describes an infinity pool, spa facilities, a hot tub, a sun terrace, a garden and a fitness room, with pet-friendly rooms, city views and free WiFi, two minutes on foot from the stadium district. It holds a 9.3 rating from 781 reviews. Live! by Loews - Arlington, TX, six minutes from AT&T Stadium, lists a swimming pool with a view, a fitness center, a sun terrace, a restaurant, a bar, a lounge and an outdoor fireplace, rated 9.3 from 819 reviews.
For an all-weather swim, the choices are broader. The Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Arlington Entertainment District has an interconnected indoor and outdoor pool and a fitness center, less than a 15-minute walk from AT&T Stadium and Globe Life Park. The Hampton Inn & Suites Dallas-Arlington North-Entertainment District lists an indoor pool with a child-friendly buffet breakfast. The Hilton Garden Inn Dallas/Arlington South and the Holiday Inn Arlington Northeast also list indoor pools, the second with a hot tub, 2.5 miles from Six Flags. Ratings and review counts come from the listings as published, and I would still read recent guest feedback before booking a stay.
Year-round outdoor pools are common among the suite hotels. The Residence Inn by Marriott Arlington has a year-round outdoor pool and pet-friendly family rooms with kitchens, 2.2 kilometers from Six Flags. The Aloft by Marriott Dallas Arlington South lists a year-round outdoor pool and a sun terrace, with an 8.9 rating from 558 reviews. The Four Points by Sheraton Dallas Arlington Entertainment District has an outdoor pool, a full-service restaurant and a bar, and sits within walking distance of AT&T Stadium, Choctaw Stadium and Globe Life Park. The distances quoted come from the hotel listings, not from a route calculation, so check the real drive time for your hour of travel.
Seasonal pools need a date check. The Fairfield Inn & Suites Dallas Arlington South, the Fairfield Inn Arlington Near Six Flags and the Aloft by Marriott Dallas Arlington Entertainment District all list a seasonal outdoor pool, and the Homewood Suites by Hilton Dallas Arlington South lists one as well. The Drury Plaza Hotel Dallas Arlington has an outdoor pool with a hot tub and free parking, rated 9.5 from 1,313 reviews, and the Caravan Court Hotel adds an outdoor pool with an outdoor fireplace, 19 minutes on foot from AT&T Stadium. Ratings and review counts come from the listings as published, and I would still read recent guest feedback before booking a stay.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a pool with a view next to the stadium district, I would choose the Loews Arlington Hotel and its infinity pool. For a family that wants water in every season, I would pick the Courtyard by Marriott Dallas Arlington Entertainment District, with an interconnected indoor and outdoor pool. My advice is to check pool hours and the season before you book.

A 2-minute walk to the stadium with an infinity pool and spa
Check availabilityWhy guests love itFor a family weekend built around a game or a concert, location is the argument: the stadium district is a 2-minute walk, so there is no parking to manage with children in tow. Between events, the infinity pool, hot tub, garden and sun terrace give everyone somewhere to recharge, while a parent can slip off to the spa or the fitness room. Pets are accepted, and the 24-hour front desk helps after a late return.

The on-site restaurant and bar save a drive after a day at the stadium, and the family dog is welcome in pet-friendly rooms. AT&T Stadium is about 10 km away and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport 29 km, so a car is needed. A 9.0 score from 360 reviews is very reassuring.

A 136-room Aloft on East Lamar Boulevard, a short drive from both stadiums and Six Flags
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThis is a compact, modern base for a ballgame or a theme-park weekend rather than a resort. Its 136 rooms date from 2019, the W XYZ bar keeps a live-music programme in the evening, and the re:fuel pantry stays open around the clock for snacks after a late game. Globe Life Field and AT&T Stadium sit within a few minutes' drive, and Six Flags Over Texas, is just as close. Families should know two things. The outdoor pool is open in summer only, so a spring-break visit means no swimming. And the hotel runs no shuttle of its own: in a city without buses or trains, a car or a rideshare does the work, unless the Arlington Trolley serves the hotel during your stay. In summer, Six Flags Hurricane Harbor water park is on the same boulevard, at 1800 East Lamar, a few blocks west.

Steps from Six Flags with a shuttle to the airport and stadium
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThis is the address I would give a family planning a Six Flags Over Texas day: the park is less than half a mile away, so a tired child can be back in the room quickly. The outdoor pool and hot tub help everyone recover afterwards. Rooms have a microwave, refrigerator and coffee facilities for easy snacks, and the daily shuttle to DFW Airport and Cowboys Stadium means one less car journey. Pets are welcome.

An I-20 exit stop with a pool and a dog-friendly welcome
Check availabilityWhy guests love itRoad-tripping families will appreciate the easy exit off Interstate 20, free parking and a daily breakfast in the lounge, which saves a stop before a day at the parks. The outdoor pool is the evening reward for children, and pets are welcome, so the dog can travel along. Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport is about 19 miles away. The hotel is south of the stadium district, so plan to drive to AT&T Stadium or Six Flags.

That means breakfast and dinner can happen in the room, and the barbecue facilities add an outdoor option. The outdoor pool fills the afternoons, free bicycles make a car-free outing possible, and Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport is 15 km away.

A retro motor-court hotel under the old Caravan Motor Hotel sign, opened in June 2026
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThis is a design-led hotel aimed more at couples and groups of fans than at young children. Rooms come with a SMEG fridge, a Nespresso machine, a 50-inch smart TV and a wireless charging pad, and the mix of 88 kings and 48 double queens means families of four can find two beds. The resort-style pool with four cabanas is the draw in summer, while the rooftop Elora Sky Club and the martini bar set the evening mood, which can mean more noise than a family motel. The garden, the terrace and the outdoor fireplace give a quieter corner, and there is an electric car charging station on site. AT&T Stadium is a walk of about 19 minutes; Six Flags Over Texas needs the car.

Pets are welcome, which helps on a road trip with the dog. A fitness center and a 24-hour front desk complete the basics. I would book it for a multi-night Arlington stay.

Local tips
- 1Check whether the pool is indoor, outdoor, seasonal or year-round, since this changes what you can do on a cool or stormy day.
- 2Look at the pool hours: many hotels close the pool in the evening, and outdoor pools can close earlier in the cool season.
- 3For a theme-park trip in summer, choose a hotel with an outdoor pool close to Six Flags, so children can swim after the park.
- 4For stadium events, pick a hotel within walking distance, such as the Loews Arlington or the Four Points, to avoid traffic and parking fees.
- 5Ask whether the hotel pool has a lifeguard, since most hotel pools do not and children need supervision.
- 6Book early for game days and concerts, since stadium events fill hotels with pools first.
