Hotels With a Pool in Virginia Beach
Along the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, a hotel pool is the backup plan for windy days and the evening swim after the beach. Most oceanfront hotels here have an indoor pool: Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Capes Hotel, Hyatt House and Four Points by Sheraton all list one, and the DoubleTree by Hilton adds a hot tub. Others look outward: Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront has a saltwater pool, the Courtyard on North 37th Street a pool with a view, and Hyatt Place Oceanfront a seasonal outdoor pool. The Historic Cavalier Hotel goes further with an infinity pool, an indoor pool and a hot tub.
Virginia Beach is a resort city built around its Oceanfront and three-mile Boardwalk, with quieter beaches toward the Chesapeake Bay and First Landing State Park to the north. Town Center, inland along Interstate 264, is its shopping and business district.
Where to stay
Indoor and Outdoor Pools by the Atlantic
Virginia Beach suits pool lovers because the Atlantic is often cool outside summer, and many oceanfront hotels answer with an indoor pool, while a few add seasonal outdoor pools and a saltwater or infinity pool for warmer months.
Indoor pools are the rule on the Oceanfront, which makes sense in a resort where the Atlantic can be cool in spring and autumn. Country Inn & Suites by Radisson Virginia Beach Oceanfront offers a free indoor pool and a hot breakfast, Capes Hotel combines an indoor pool with private balconies over the beach, and Holiday Inn Express & Suites VA Beach Oceanfront adds an indoor pool to a complimentary hot breakfast. Hampton Inn Virginia Beach-Oceanfront South, rated 8.9, has an indoor pool and a children's playground, and Fairfield Inn & Suites Oceanfront pairs its indoor pool with balconies facing the ocean.
Some hotels add a hot tub, welcome after a cool swim in the ocean. DoubleTree by Hilton Oceanfront Virginia Beach, about 20 meters from the Boardwalk, has an indoor pool and a hot tub. Residence Inn by Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront offers an indoor pool with a hot tub, plus fully equipped kitchens, and SpringHill Suites by Marriott Oceanfront combines an indoor pool and hot tub with a seasonal outdoor pool. For a larger group, the Coastal Beach Condo on the thirteenth floor has two bedrooms, an indoor pool, a hot tub and free private parking, right on the beach.
In summer, outdoor pools come into their own. Moxy Virginia Beach Oceanfront has a saltwater swimming pool with sea views and indoor and outdoor play areas, and Hyatt Place Virginia Beach Oceanfront, rated 9.1, opens a seasonal outdoor pool beside its sun terrace. The Courtyard by Marriott on North 37th Street offers a pool with a view of the ocean. The Historic Cavalier Hotel and Beach Club, rated 9.1, is the standout, with an infinity pool, an indoor pool, a hot tub and a private beach area, along with a full spa and wellness center.
Away from the Oceanfront, Town Center and the inland neighborhoods also have pool hotels, useful for travelers combining the beach with shopping or business. Hyatt Place Virginia Beach Town Center, rated 8.9, has an indoor swimming pool and rooms with sofa beds, and The Westin Virginia Beach Town Center offers a pool and spa. The Founders Inn & Spa provides both indoor and outdoor seasonal pools, tennis courts and a summer shuttle to the beach. Near the airport, Fairfield Inn & Suites Virginia Beach/Norfolk Airport has an indoor pool and a free airport shuttle.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a pool you can count on in any season, I would choose SpringHill Suites by Marriott Virginia Beach Oceanfront: it has an indoor pool and hot tub plus a seasonal outdoor pool, every room has a balcony, and guests rate it 8.8. For a more memorable swim, I recommend The Historic Cavalier Hotel, with its infinity pool.
