Best Hotels with a Hot Tub in Detroit
Detroit has more hot tubs than you might expect, and they come in very different settings. The Detroit Club, a historic five-star property, lists a hot tub and sauna within its spa. Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Downtown has a large indoor pool and a hot tub with views of the Detroit River, and The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit has an indoor pool, a hot tub and in-room spa services. The Inn at 97 Winder pairs a hot tub with a garden, while MGM Grand Detroit offers a full-service spa and an indoor infinity-edge pool. I compare all five by what the listings state, including where a hot tub is not mentioned.
Detroit combines a downtown riverfront with historic buildings, and its hot-tub hotels range from a five-star club to a casino resort.
Five Detroit hotels with spa facilities
A hot tub can mean a spa suite, a hotel pool deck or a small garden corner, and the listings do not always say which. I separate the hotels that state a hot tub in their own text from the one that offers a spa and pool without naming one. That matters if the hot tub is the reason for booking, so I say clearly what each hotel lists and suggest asking about opening hours.
The Detroit Club is the most complete wellness address. Its listing calls it a historic five-star property with air-conditioned rooms and city views, a spa, wellness facilities including a hot tub and sauna, a fitness center and a billiards room, and its Grille Room serves French-inspired American cuisine. Guests rate it 8.5 across 261 reviews. I would choose it for a weekend where a hot tub and a sauna are the point, since the spa, dinner and the billiards room are all inside the same building. The 8.5 score comes from a solid sample, so I treat it as reliable.
Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Downtown and The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit are the two downtown hotels with indoor pools and hot tubs. Courtyard has spacious air-conditioned rooms with views of the Detroit River, a large indoor pool, a hot tub and a gym, close to the Detroit Riverwalk and Little Caesars Arena, and scores 8.6 from 218 reviews. The Westin Book Cadillac has an indoor pool, a hot tub, in-room spa services, several American restaurants, a bar and a coffee shop, is pet-friendly and scores 8.8 from 89 reviews. I would choose Courtyard for the river views and the arena location, and The Westin for a spa treatment in the room.
The Inn at 97 Winder is a smaller option. It is a historic property with spa facilities, a garden and a hot tub, concierge services and paid on-site private parking, and its listing says it suits romantic getaways and family stays. Rooms are air-conditioned with city views and free WiFi. It is a two-star property but guests score it 8.8 across 109 reviews. I would pick it for a quiet stay where a garden and a hot tub matter more than the size of the hotel or a large pool. Check the garden and hot tub hours when you book.
MGM Grand Detroit is the one to read carefully. Its listing describes a five-star hotel with an on-site casino, a full-service spa, an indoor infinity-edge pool, multiple dining options and live entertainment, with spa-inspired showers in the rooms and a pet-friendly policy. It does not name a hot tub, even though it is tagged under this term, so I recommend confirming with the hotel whether one is available before booking. Guests score it 8.2 from 490 reviews, the lowest of the five, though it offers the most entertainment. I would choose it for a casino night out with a spa visit, not for a hot-tub-first stay.
A traveler's perspectiveIf I were choosing a hot tub in Detroit for a weekend, I would book The Detroit Club for its hot tub and sauna, spa and Grille Room. For a downtown stay near the river, I recommend Courtyard by Marriott Detroit Downtown, with its large indoor pool, hot tub and Riverwalk location. For a calmer hot tub and garden, I would choose The Inn at 97 Winder, and I would ask MGM Grand Detroit directly about a hot tub before booking it.

The Detroit Club
Detroit

Historic luxury with a spa, hot tub, and French-inspired dining
Check availabilityWhy guests love itA billiards room and a historic setting give The Detroit Club a character that I think older children and teenagers will enjoy more than toddlers. Parents get a spa with a hot tub and a sauna, a fitness center and the Grille Room, which serves French-inspired American cuisine. Rooms are air-conditioned with city views and free WiFi. This is a formal, elegant hotel rather than a playful one, and no pool is listed. Guests rate it 8.5 out of 10 over 261 reviews.
MGM Grand Detroit
Detroit
490 reviews
Luxury casino hotel with a spa, infinity pool, and live entertainment
Check availabilityWhy guests love itThe MGM Grand Detroit is built around its casino, which is for adults only, so I would choose it for families mainly when the parents want the spa and the restaurants. The indoor infinity-edge pool is the part children will enjoy most, and rooms are modern, with large flat-screen TVs and spa-inspired showers. Several dining options mean no one has to agree on one menu. Pets are welcome too. Families seeking a quiet, child-focused stay should look elsewhere.
