Best Hotels with a Hot Tub in Spokane
Hotels with a hot tub in Spokane suit a city where winter lasts and summer evenings cool fast. Twelve properties in this guide have a hot tub, and most pair it with an indoor pool: Quality Inn Oakwood on the north side, Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown-South, The Davenport Tower in the city centre and a cluster of hotels around Spokane International Airport. After a day of skiing at Mount Spokane or driving I-90, the choice comes down to location and opening hours (ask whether the tub stays open late, since hours vary by hotel). Late arrivals should confirm hours first.
Spokane runs cold from December to February, with snow on the ground and early dusk, and the Spokane River drops through downtown in a series of falls. Mountain days at Mount Spokane or Lookout Pass end earlier than summer hiking, so the evenings are long and a warm tub is part of the plan (pack a robe for the short walk to the pool area).
Where to stay
Spokane hot tubs for cold weather weekends
A hot tub earns its place after cold days at Mount Spokane or long hours on I-90. The hotels here put the tub next to an indoor pool, so winter use is easy and does not depend on the weather outside. The real choice is location: north side, downtown or airport, each with a different drive to the sights (adult-only hours may apply at some hotels, so check before you bring children).
Quality Inn Oakwood is the north-side pick: its 24-hour indoor heated pool and hot tub work after a ski day or a late arrival, and pets are welcome. Downtown is five miles away, so use the car for Riverfront Park and the Convention Center, and expect a quiet evening instead of a long night out. A free Q Corner Café breakfast helps families on a budget, and rooms include a refrigerator and microwave for snacks (the hot tub follows the 24-hour pool hours). Bring slippers for the corridor, since the pool room can feel cool in January and the walk back passes open lobby space.
Downtown, The Davenport Tower pairs an indoor pool and hot tub with a 24-hour fitness centre and a marble-shower bathroom, 8 minutes' walk from Riverfront Park. Fairfield Inn Spokane Downtown has a hot tub and an indoor pool near the convention area, with free parking and a daily breakfast. Hampton Inn & Suites Downtown-South adds a hot tub and a highly rated breakfast 1.5 km from the Convention Center (parking is free at both the Fairfield and the Hampton). Both downtown options put restaurants and the river path within a short walk, so a soak can follow dinner without a drive back across town.
At the airport, Hampton Inn Spokane Airport, Holiday Inn Express Spokane Airport, Sleep Inn, MainStay Suites and Ramada by Wyndham all have hot tubs, and most run a free shuttle. They suit late arrivals and early departures, with free parking at several and downtown 10 to 15 minutes by car. Ramada also has an outdoor fireplace and garden for the evening, so a warm soak can end with a seat by the fire (check shuttle hours when booking). Plan the shuttle pickup before you soak, because the late-evening schedule differs from the daytime runs and the front desk can confirm exact times.
Best Western Plus Spokane North and Best Western Plus Peppertree Airport Inn round out the list with indoor pools and easy highway access, while Fairfield Inn and Hampton Inn & Suites cover the downtown side with hot tubs of their own. For a hot tub plus family rooms, Hampton Inn Spokane Airport and Fairfield Inn Downtown are the most balanced choices, since both pair the tub with a daily breakfast and free parking (confirm family room availability when you reserve). Check each hotel's quiet hours before a late soak, because some close the pool area at night even when the tub stays warm and ready.
A traveler's perspectiveI recommend Quality Inn Oakwood for a hot tub that suits a Spokane winter, because its indoor heated pool and hot tub are open 24 hours, breakfast is free and pets are allowed, in north Spokane near Whitworth University. For a soak downtown, I would choose The Davenport Tower instead, eight minutes on foot from Riverfront Park.

Connected to the Convention Center, beside the river
Check availabilityWhy guests love itFamilies visiting for a tournament or convention save the most time here, since the venue is attached and nobody has to find a parking spot. The seasonal outdoor pool is a treat in summer, and breakfast at Shutters Cafe is cooked to order. The river path starts a few steps outside, handy for burning off energy. In winter the pool is not an option, so plan other evening activities.
Local tips
- 1Pick a hotel with an indoor pool and hot tub for winter, because Quality Inn Oakwood, Hampton Inn Spokane Airport and Fairfield Inn Downtown all keep both indoors.
- 2Use the hot tub after the Convention Center or Riverfront Park, since a day on foot leaves legs tired and The Davenport Tower is close to both.
- 3Ask about hot tub hours at check-in, because many hotels close the pool area in the late evening, unlike the 24-hour setup at Quality Inn Oakwood.
- 4Bring a robe or warm layers for the walk back to your room, since indoor tubs are comfortable but corridors can be cool in a Spokane winter.
- 5Choose an airport hotel with a free shuttle if you arrive late, because Sleep Inn, MainStay Suites and Ramada Airport each offer one.
- 6Rinse off and drink water afterwards, since a long soak after a drive on I-90 or a ski day at Mount Spokane can leave you tired.
