1. Fairmont Le Château Montebello

Montebello, Quebec

The historic Fairmont Le Château Montebello features one of Canada’s largest indoor hotel pool complexes. The pool was built in 1930 as part of the exclusive Seigniory Club, which was intended to be a private and exclusive wilderness retreat for business and political leaders.

This expansive pool area offers swimming lanes, two hot tubs, and your choice of lounge chairs and hammocks on the deck. The pool building is flooded with natural light from the large windows and a high, clear ceiling.

Fairmont Le Château Montebello’s outdoor pool also takes advantage of its prime location on the property. Overlooking the Ottawa River, the outdoor pool boasts views of boats and river activity. Guests can enjoy even more luxury with six private cabanas, all equipped with sofas, coolers, and bar service.

2. Le Westin Montréal

Montreal, Quebec

For guests who want to see and be seen, Le Westin Montréal’s impressive indoor glass-bottom pool hovers above the hotel’s grand entranceway. A playful sea life mural adds to the fun. The pool is naturally lit with full-length windows, which provide stunning city views.

One TripAdvisor reviewer says, “The glass bottom pool was definitely the highlight for us. My daughter really enjoyed swimming and looking down at the people entering the hotel. It was so nicely heated and warm!” Take a look at the Westin Montréal’s glass bottom pool from below.

For those seeking a bit more privacy, take a dip in the twin pools at Le Westin Montreal. They’re filled with hot and cold water, respectively, for relaxation and detoxification.

3. Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, Ontario

All sorts of indoor and outdoor water play are included for hotel guests at Great Wolf Lodge Niagara Falls. Multiple thrilling water slides, kiddie pools and baby slides, splash areas, and whirlpool hot spas are just the beginning.

Catch a wave at Rainbow Lake, an indoor wave pool. Then challenge the kids to a game of water basketball at Otter Lake. Next, grab a tube and relax as you float along Crystal River, the lodge’s winding lazy river. Kids love to test their balance as they attempt to cross the water atop giant floating faux lily pads at Frog Pond.

The only problem with a stay at Great Wolf Lodge? Trying to get the kids to leave the hotel to visit the waterfalls at Niagara Falls!

4. 1 Hotel Toronto

Toronto, Ontario

1 Hotel Toronto wows swimmers with its panoramic urban views. This luxury hotel is located in King West Village, one of the city’s coolest neighborhoods. Take in sites like CN Tower and Lake Ontario while splashing in the rooftop pool.

5. Halcyon Hot Springs Village & Spa

Nakusp, British Columbia

Situated in a spectacular waterfront location on beautiful Upper Arrow Lake, you’ll find Halcyon Hot Springs in the Kootenay region of British Columbia. Families take in stunning views of the Monashee Mountains while soaking here.

The water in the hot and warm pools is rich in minerals that soothe and heal the body. Feeling too toasty? Cool off in a cold plunge pool or go for a swim in their summer mineral pool. The best for the kids, though, might be their seasonal spray park. It’s located one level below the main pools.

6. Victoria Inn Hotel & Convention Centre

Winnipeg, Manitoba

Kids adore the Jurassic-themed aquatic facility at Victoria Inn Hotel. Their Dino Beach Water Park impresses guests with two life-sized, three-dimensional dinosaurs. Young adventurers wade in to splash in the two waterspouts found at the pool entrance. Then little ones might take a spin on a small dinosaur slide just their size. Bigger thrill-seeking kids enjoy the 160-foot corkscrew waterslide. Meanwhile, parents appreciate the pool’s waterfall and hot tub.

7. Chelsea Hotel

Toronto, Ontario

The Chelsea Hotel in Toronto prides itself on its family-friendly amenities, including several fun pool options. The hotel’s Family Fun Zone Pool is home to Toronto’s only indoor waterslide, the “Corkscrew.” Standing 130 feet tall, this waterslide is a blast for all ages. Here, families appreciate a heated indoor pool and whirlpool, changing facilities, and lockers.

Additionally, located on the top floor of the hotel you’ll find a serene pool lover’s paradise called Deck 27. Sorry, kids, this area is just for mom and dad. It features an indoor heated swimming pool and hot tub, separate male and female saunas, and a fitness center. In spring and summer, adult guests take advantage of the outdoor sundeck with an incredible view of the Toronto skyline, including the CN Tower.

8. Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge

Kananaskis, Alberta

Surrounded by alpine forests and mountain peaks, Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge invites families to enjoy the great Canadian wilderness. Parents will enjoy their 50,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor Kanaskis Nordic Spa. It consists of their Relaxation Lodge, five outdoor pools, five steam and sauna cabins, an exfoliation room, winterized hammocks, fireside lounges, eight spa treatment rooms, and the Two Trees Bistro.

The kids need not get jealous of this adults-only watery haven, however. The hotel’s indoor waterpark includes a zero-entry children’s pool, water jets and cannons, a mountain-themed water play table, three waterslides, and more. Meanwhile, the onsite Children’s Creative Centre provides a fun place for kids to play and create while mom and dad soak the day away.
