Wichita Hotels With a Pool I Recommend
Wichita has hot summers and cold, windy winters, so it helps that most hotels on this page list an indoor pool. Downtown, Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview Wichita, rated 9.2, sits by the Arkansas River with an indoor pool and an indoor/outdoor spa, and Hyatt Regency Wichita adjoins Century II, a short walk from the Keeper of the Plains. Near Wichita State University, Hyatt Place adds an indoor pool and free breakfast, while the airport and the east side offer practical hotels with free parking. I favored high scores and flag which areas need a car to reach Old Town and the river.
Wichita grew around the meeting of the Arkansas and Little Arkansas rivers, now marked by the Keeper of the Plains sculpture. Known for aviation manufacturing, the city mixes brick warehouses turned restaurants in Old Town with riverside museums, gardens at Botanica and the large Sedgwick County Zoo on its northwest side.
Indoor Pools From the River to the Airport
A pool hotel here pairs well with the city's riverside sights: the Keeper of the Plains and its footbridges, Exploration Place and Botanica along the Arkansas River, and Old Town's restaurants. Indoor pools keep swimming possible through winter and on windy prairie days.
Downtown is the area I would choose first. Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview Wichita, the top-rated hotel on this page at 9.2, combines an indoor pool with an indoor/outdoor spa, and it lists complimentary meals. Hyatt Regency Wichita, next to the Century II Performing Arts & Convention Center, offers a heated indoor pool and a hot tub, with the Keeper of the Plains a short riverside walk away. Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott Wichita Downtown adds an indoor pool and free bicycles, handy for the paths along the Arkansas River and the short ride to Old Town and Intrust Bank Arena.
Near Wichita State University, Hyatt Place at Wichita State University, rated 8.9, offers an indoor pool, free breakfast and free parking, useful for campus visits and Shocker games. On the northeast side, Home2 Suites by Hilton Wichita Northeast, at 9.1, has a saltwater indoor pool and an outdoor fireplace, and La Quinta by Wyndham Wichita Northeast, the most reviewed hotel here with more than 2,400 reviews, adds an indoor pool and buffet breakfast. Hampton Inn & Suites Wichita-Northeast completes the area with an indoor pool and free parking. I would pick Home2 Suites for longer stays and its saltwater pool.
The east side of the city groups several practical choices with free or easy parking. Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Wichita East, KS has an outdoor pool, a hot tub and a free continental breakfast. Holiday Inn Wichita East I-35 by IHG adds an indoor pool, a hot tub and family rooms, and Springhill Suites by Marriott Wichita East At Plazzio offers an indoor pool with sofa beds in family rooms. Best Western Plus Eastgate Inn & Suites rounds out the area with an indoor pool. These hotels suit drivers heading to the Sedgwick County Zoo or Old Town, since both require a short drive.
For flights from Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport, two hotels stand just steps from the terminal. DoubleTree by Hilton Wichita Airport, rated 8.9, has an indoor pool, a fitness center and on-site dining. Hampton Inn & Suites-Wichita/Airport, KS offers an indoor swimming pool and a free airport shuttle. Aloft by Marriott Wichita, on the other hand, lists a seasonal outdoor pool and family rooms, a better fit for summer visits. I would book the DoubleTree before an early departure, and Drury Plaza Broadview for a weekend centered on the river and Old Town, since it sits about 6 miles from the airport.
A traveler's perspectiveFor a weekend in Wichita, I would book Drury Plaza Hotel Broadview Wichita: the indoor pool and spa are welcome after a day out, and the Keeper of the Plains, Exploration Place and Old Town are all close by. Before an early flight, I would choose DoubleTree by Hilton Wichita Airport instead, since it stands steps from the terminal.

Local tips
- 1Visit the Keeper of the Plains at dusk, when the fire pots around the sculpture are lit on many evenings.
- 2Use the free bicycles at Fairfield Inn & Suites Wichita Downtown to follow the paths along the Arkansas River.
- 3Plan a half day for the Sedgwick County Zoo, which sits northwest of downtown and needs a short drive from most hotels.
- 4Choose an indoor pool for winter visits, since cold winds on the plains make outdoor swimming unpleasant much of the year.
- 5Book Hyatt Place at Wichita State University for campus events, as it sits close to the university and offers free parking.
- 6Combine Exploration Place and Botanica in one day, as both sit along the river a short drive from downtown hotels.
