Best Hotels with a Pool in Porto Alegre
7 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Porto Alegre . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Hotels with a pool in Porto Alegre range from budget-friendly outdoor decks near the bus terminal to a heated rooftop pool in Higienopolis, so families can match the swim schedule to their kids' ages and the trip budget. The seven properties on this list span three and five stars, with rates from around €47 a night at Hotel Continental up to €243 at the Hilton, and every one keeps a pool open outside the coldest winter months. Parents traveling with toddlers will want the indoor options near the airport; those chasing an outdoor splash before dinner do better in Moinhos de Vento or Cidade Baixa, both a short walk from Parque Redencao.
Porto Alegre reads as a working capital first and a tourist stop second: gaucho steakhouses outnumber souvenir shops, and the pace slows around the Mercado Publico rather than a beach promenade. Families notice the city keeps its own rhythm, with dinner starting later than in a resort town and neighborhoods like Cidade Baixa filling up on weekend afternoons rather than weekday mornings. It rewards a base near Parque Redencao or Moinhos de Vento, where a pool break at the hotel fits naturally between a morning walk and an evening churrascaria booking.

🏊Why Porto Alegre is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
Every hotel on this list keeps a pool alongside the basics that make a family stay run smoothly: free breakfast at Hotel Continental and Intercity Praia de Belas, room service at the Hilton and DoubleTree, and airport shuttle service at the Novotel for arrivals that land tired. Distances stay short across the board, from a two-minute walk to Puppi Baggio for a casual dinner near the Hilton to a one-minute walk to Gourmetbar by Novotel for families who'd rather not leave the property after a swim. The Novotel and Hilton both sit under 15 minutes from Salgado Filho International Airport, which matters on a red-eye arrival with young kids who need a bed fast, while the DoubleTree's Cidade Baixa location trades airport speed for walking access to Fundacao Ibere and the Pier Pontal waterfront.
Toddlers and preschoolers do best at the indoor-pool properties, Novotel Porto Alegre Airport and Hotel Laghetto Stilo Higienopolis, where a swim isn't weather-dependent and the water stays warmer than an open-air deck in the shoulder season. Elementary-age kids get more out of the outdoor pools at Hotel Continental and Hotel Intercity Praia de Belas, both set up with fitness centers and event spaces that keep older siblings occupied while parents alternate pool watch. Teens traveling with the family lean toward the Hilton or Plaza Sao Rafael, five- and four-star properties with fuller amenity lists, including bars and full-service laundry, useful on a longer stay when a load of swim gear needs drying overnight.
Value on this list runs wide: Hotel Continental holds a pool, free breakfast and a fitness center from around €47 a night, the cheapest way to get a family swim without upgrading to a five-star rate. Mid-range picks like Hotel Intercity Praia de Belas (€118) and Novotel Porto Alegre Airport (€166) add an indoor option or airport convenience without doubling the Continental's price. The Hilton and Plaza Sao Rafael sit at the top of the range, €243 and €155 respectively, and earn it with higher review counts and fuller service, worth the jump for a family that wants one hotel to handle everything from breakfast to a late check-out.
Parent's take
We landed at Salgado Filho a little after 9pm with two overtired kids and picked the Novotel for exactly that ten-minute ride from the terminal. The indoor pool was still open when we checked in, so instead of a stalled bedtime fight we let them swim off the flight for twenty minutes before dinner at the hotel's own Gourmetbar. Nobody asked about screen time once.

Why families love Hilton Porto Alegre
Families weighing an indoor pool against a downtown location will find the Hilton covers both: the pool solves rainy or cool-season days, and Moinhos de Vento's walkable streets make an evening stroll to Puppi Baggio realistic without a car. The pet-friendly policy and kid-friendly marking suit a mixed group, though the paid breakfast is worth budgeting for on a longer stay rather than assuming it's included.

Rooms are straightforward, and the hotel runs an indoor pool, a hot tub and a spa, plus a bar/lounge, fitness center, restaurant, room service, airport shuttle and full-service laundry, with a pet-friendly and smoke-free policy.
From
€166/night
Why families love Novotel Porto Alegre Airport
This is the pick for a family whose trip starts or ends with a flight: the airport shuttle and five-minute transit distance beat every other hotel on this list, and the indoor pool plus hot tub give kids something to do the moment you check in, jet lag or not.

From
€118/night
Why families love Hotel Intercity Praia de Belas
Despite the neighborhood's beach-referencing name, there's no beach here: Porto Alegre sits on the Guaiba river-lake system, and the hotel's own outdoor pool is the closest thing to a swim option on-site. It works well as a central, mid-range base, with free breakfast and a seven-minute taxi to Parque Redencao for families who want genuine outdoor time.
DoubleTree by Hilton Porto Alegre
Porto Alegre
Excellent
458 reviews
DoubleTree by Hilton Porto Alegre is a five-star hotel a two-minute walk from Pier Pontal and seven minutes on foot from Fundacao Ibere.

From
€184/night
Why families love DoubleTree by Hilton Porto Alegre
The riverside Pier Pontal location sets this DoubleTree apart, good for an evening walk before or after dinner at Galeto Mamma Mia inside the neighboring Pontal Shopping. It sits further from the airport than most on this list, over an hour by public transport, so families with an early flight should plan on a taxi rather than transit.
Very Good
3,745 reviews
Hotel Continental Porto Alegre e Centro de Eventos is a four-star property near the bus terminal, a four-minute walk from Estacao Rodoviaria. Rooms are contemporary with flat-screen TVs, and the hotel includes free breakfast, an outdoor pool, free Wi-Fi, parking, a fitness center, bar and restaurant, with business-center and kid-friendly facilities on-site.
From
€47/night
Why families love Hotel Continental Porto Alegre e Centro de Eventos
Budget-focused families get real value here: free breakfast and an outdoor pool are both included at one of the lowest rates on this list, and the four-minute walk to the bus station keeps onward travel simple. The trade-off is a business-district setting rather than a residential neighborhood, so evening options lean toward the hotel's own restaurant more than a walkable strip.
💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Swimming Pool in Porto Alegre
- 1Book the Novotel or Hilton if your flight lands after dark: both sit under 15 minutes from Salgado Filho airport, and an indoor pool beats a bedtime standoff after a long travel day.
- 2Pack a pool bag you can grab straight from your suitcase. Hotel Continental and Intercity Praia de Belas both keep their outdoor pools open right up to check-out, so a mid-morning swim before departure is realistic.
- 3Check the season before you book an outdoor-only pool. Porto Alegre's winters, June to August, run cool enough that Hotel Continental and DoubleTree's decks are far more comfortable October through April.
- 4If you're staying more than three nights, favor a hotel with room service or a restaurant on-site, like the Hilton or Plaza Sao Rafael, so a rained-out pool afternoon doesn't mean dragging tired kids out to eat.
- 5Walk before you book a taxi. Puppi Baggio sits two minutes from the Hilton and Gourmetbar by Novotel is inside the Novotel itself, so a post-swim dinner doesn't have to mean loading everyone back into a car.
