Best Hotels with a Pool in Tulsa
Tulsa's pool hotels split between downtown, near the BOK Center and the Arts District, and the southern districts of Woodland Hills, Tulsa Hills and the South Medical District. The type of pool matters more here than in coastal cities: many listings have a seasonal outdoor pool that closes in the cooler months, while La Quinta Midtown, the Holiday Inn Express in the Arts District, Tulsa Marriott Southern Hills and Courtyard Woodland Hills have indoor pools for year-round swimming whatever the weather outside. Brut Hotel stands apart with a year-round outdoor pool, a sauna and a steam room.
Tulsa grew rich on oil in the early 20th century, and downtown still shows it in Art Deco towers and the brick warehouses of the Arts District and Blue Dome. Route 66 runs through the city along 11th Street, and the Arkansas River frames the Gathering Place, a large riverside park. South Tulsa is a newer landscape of shopping centers, hospitals and hotels close to the interstate.
Where to stay
Indoor, seasonal or saltwater: picking your pool
A pool earns its place in Tulsa because summers are long and hot, and an indoor pool keeps that option open in winter. Most pool hotels here also include breakfast or kitchens, which suits families on a road trip along Route 66 or visitors attending events at the BOK Center or the Performing Arts Center.
For year-round swimming, choose an indoor pool. La Quinta Inn & Suites Tulsa Midtown, four miles from the BOK Center, pairs an indoor pool with a hot breakfast buffet and accepts pets. The Holiday Inn Express & Suites Tulsa Downtown - Arts District has an indoor pool and rooms with sofa beds and city views, a practical base for concerts and games at the arena. Further south, Tulsa Marriott Southern Hills adds spa facilities and free bicycles to its indoor pool, and Courtyard Woodland Hills offers family rooms with balconies. I would pick the Arts District hotel for a weekend in town.
Two hotels go beyond a standard pool. Brut Hotel scores 8.9 and has a year-round outdoor pool, spa facilities, a sauna, a steam room and a sun terrace, which makes it the most complete wellness option on this list. The avid hotel Tulsa South - Medical District has a saltwater pool and accepts pets, a gentler choice for swimmers who dislike chlorine. Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tulsa combines a pool, a hot tub and spa facilities with a casino, several restaurants and live music, plus a free shuttle, so guests can spend a whole evening without leaving the property.
Families on longer stays should look at the suite hotels with outdoor pools. Home2 Suites By Hilton Tulsa Airport scores 9.2, the best rating here, with kitchen facilities, a seasonal outdoor pool and an outdoor fireplace. Homewood Suites South Medical District offers full kitchens, a seasonal pool, barbecue facilities and pet-friendly rooms. Staybridge Suites Woodland Hills adds kitchenettes, an outdoor pool and a garden with a fireplace. My advice for a family visit of several nights is Home2 Suites, though travelers with a dog will find Homewood Suites easier, since it accepts pets and adds barbecue facilities for an evening meal outdoors.
Downtown visitors have one outdoor option and one indoor. Hyatt Regency Tulsa Downtown stands next to the Performing Arts Center with an outdoor pool, a fitness center, on-site dining and pet-friendly rooms, and it offers a free shuttle, useful for reaching the Arts District and the BOK Center. The Holiday Inn Express in the Arts District keeps its pool indoors. The southern hotels, including the Holiday Inn Express Woodland Hills at 8.9, avid hotels Tulsa Hills and the Holiday Inn Express Midtown with free parking, have seasonal outdoor pools, so check opening dates if you travel outside summer.
A traveler's perspectiveIf I were planning a summer family trip to Tulsa, I would book Home2 Suites By Hilton Tulsa Airport. It scores 9.2, the best rating among the pool hotels here, with kitchen facilities, a seasonal outdoor pool and an outdoor fireplace for the evenings. From there, downtown, the Arts District and the Gathering Place along the Arkansas River are a short drive away.
