Best Hotels with a Pool in Spokane
Hotels with a pool in Spokane are easy to find once you accept the climate: most pools are indoor, because winters are cold and snowy, and only a few are outdoor and seasonal. Sixteen properties in this guide have a pool, from Quality Inn Oakwood on the north side to The Davenport Tower downtown and a cluster of airport hotels beside Spokane International Airport. Picking the right one depends on whether you want to walk to Riverfront Park or arrive by shuttle (check pool hours and any age rules at check-in). Pack swimwear in the carry-on, since many hotels sit minutes from the terminal.
Spokane summers are hot, dry and bright, and a pool feels earned after a day at Riverfront Park or on the Centennial Trail. Winters are long enough that indoor water matters more than outdoor loungers, and evenings cool quickly even in July, so towels and a light layer help on the walk back to the room (outdoor pools run only in the warm months).
Where to stay
Indoor pools, outdoor pools and what fits
A Spokane pool stay depends on the season. Indoor pools at Hampton Inn Spokane Airport, Fairfield Inn Spokane Downtown and Best Western Plus Spokane North work all year, while DoubleTree City Center and Centennial Hotel Spokane have outdoor pools for the warm months. Choose by location first, then by hours, because Quality Inn Oakwood keeps its pool open 24 hours and most others close in the late evening.
Airport-side hotels are the best value for pool seekers because many pair an indoor pool with a hot tub and free parking. Hampton Inn Spokane Airport, Holiday Inn Express Spokane Airport, Sleep Inn Spokane Airport, MainStay Suites and Ramada by Wyndham all have indoor pools within a few miles of the terminal. A free shuttle at most of them eases arrival days, and downtown is a short drive away along I-90. Ramada adds an outdoor fireplace for cooler evenings (parking is free at several of these hotels). Several of these pools stay open into the evening, which suits families arriving on late flights.
Downtown pools put the water close to the sights. Fairfield Inn Spokane Downtown has an indoor pool and a hot tub within a short walk of the Spokane Convention Center. The Davenport Tower adds an indoor pool and hot tub with a 24-hour fitness centre and sits 8 minutes on foot from Riverfront Park. DoubleTree City Center offers a seasonal outdoor pool by the river, in the center of the city, which suits summer visits to the convention area (confirm opening dates before you book). Together the three give downtown guests a swim without a long transfer, and a hot tub comes with the Fairfield and the Tower.
Spokane Club Hotel has an indoor pool and sits a 10-minute walk from Riverfront Park, which suits guests who want to leave the car parked and still swim in the evening. Centennial Hotel Spokane has an outdoor pool 1.5 miles from the city centre, plus an on-site café and room service for tired families. Both fit a trip that mixes park time with pool time, and the 1910 Restaurant and Lounge at Spokane Club handles dinner (ask about family room availability when booking). Because both hotels sit near the river, a morning walk and an evening swim fit easily into the same day without a car.
North-side and northwest options suit road trippers. Quality Inn Oakwood offers an indoor heated pool and hot tub open 24 hours, Best Western Plus Spokane North has an indoor pool and a sun terrace, and Best Western Plus Peppertree Airport Inn has an indoor pool just off I-90, minutes from Northern Quest Resort & Casino. All three keep driving short and parking easy, which matters after a long day behind the wheel (confirm the hot tub and pool schedule at the desk). The north side also avoids downtown event traffic, which makes late arrivals and early departures calmer for families with young swimmers.
A traveler's perspectiveI recommend the Hampton Inn Spokane Airport for a pool stop at the end of a drive on I-90: the indoor pool and hot tub work in any season, breakfast is hot and daily, and the free airport shuttle and free parking cover both ways of arriving. For a pool downtown near Riverfront Park, I would pick The Davenport Tower instead, with its indoor pool and hot tub.

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.

A fridge and microwave handle packed lunches, the outdoor pool gives the children a reason to head back after a day at Riverfront Park, and the atrium café means dinner needs no second drive. Downtown sits 1.5 miles away, close enough for a short ride but far enough that nobody walks to the carousel. Bring the dog if you like (pets are allowed).
Local tips
- 1Check whether the pool is indoor or outdoor before you book, because DoubleTree City Center and Centennial Hotel Spokane have outdoor pools that operate seasonally.
- 2Choose Quality Inn Oakwood for late arrivals, since its indoor heated pool and hot tub stay open 24 hours and the north-side location avoids downtown traffic.
- 3Pack a light layer for the walk to an outdoor pool, because Spokane evenings cool quickly even after hot July days at Riverfront Park.
- 4Book Hampton Inn Spokane Airport or Holiday Inn Express Airport if you want a pool plus a free airport shuttle on arrival day.
- 5Use the pool after Riverfront Park, since a day on foot or on the SkyRide leaves legs tired and downtown hotel water is a short walk away.
- 6Ask about pool rules for children and swim diapers when you call, because policies vary at brands such as Fairfield, Hampton and Best Western Plus.
