These 5 best hotel pools in Winnipeg might ruin regular pools for you!
So, last Sunday, I decided to treat myself to a little “staycation” here in Winnipeg. I thought I’d go for a relaxing swim, right?
But you know when you expect a nice dip and somehow end up resembling a potato bobbing around in a sea of kids doing cannonballs? Yeah, that was me at a regular swimming spot.
After that experience, I vowed to only plunge where it feels like I’m living my best bougie life, which means hotel pools from now on!
Seriously, once you soak your toes into these gems, the average aquatic setup just feels… well, basic. I’m talking swim-up bars, skyline views, and water so clear you can almost see the regret in your wallet.
Let me walk you through these best hotel pools in our city that have completely spoiled me for any other body of water!

And the best part? It’s open from 8:00 AM to 11:00 PM, so whether you’re an early riser or more of a night owl, there’s plenty of time for a splash.
Since it’s indoors, the weather’s never an issue here—rain, snow, or shine, the water’s always just right.
The pool itself is a decent size too, ideal for some serious laps or to float around and let the day’s worries melt away.
Oh, and don’t worry, it’s always sparkling clean, so no need to second-guess your dive.

Holiday Inn Airport West really checks all the boxes! It’s got everything you need for a relaxing stay, no matter the season.
And when that famous Winnipeg winter rolls in, their heated saltwater pool is a lifesaver!
Plus, they’ve really thought of everyone here—there’s a kiddie pool that’ll keep the little ones splashing around for hours, while adults can kick back in the hot tub. After a long day, it’s exactly the kind of soothing break you need.
And if your children aren’t completely tuckered out from the pool, Pirates Cove Playland is right there waiting to keep the fun going.
Imagine a three-story play space with a pirate ship theme. It’s practically impossible to tear the kids away from it once they’re inside!
But that’s not all; the whole pool area feels spacious and inviting, too. Skylights flood the space with natural light, giving it an open, airy vibe—so it never feels too stuffy or closed in.
And even if you’re not jumping in, there’s plenty of seating around to relax and keep an eye on things.
