Best Montreal Hotels With a Swimming Pool
6 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Montreal . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Swimming pools at Montreal family hotels split mostly between indoor setups built for the city's long winters and a handful of rooftop or saltwater options built for summer. The Ritz-Carlton and Warwick Le Crystal both run saltwater pools, a detail that matters for families with sensitive-skin kids who react to standard chlorine. This pool-first search works best for families with school-age kids roughly five and up, since none of these listings mention a dedicated shallow end or splash pad; younger toddlers will need close supervision in a standard-depth pool regardless of which hotel you choose.
Montreal's pool culture at hotels tends toward smaller, well-appointed indoor pools rather than the sprawling resort pools common in warmer climates, a direct result of a downtown core built for density rather than sprawling grounds. The five-star tier, Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons, compensates with saltwater filtration and hot tubs rather than size. Warwick Le Crystal takes a different approach, putting its hot tub on an open hardwood deck on the 12th floor with skyline views, a genuinely Montreal-specific setup that a standard ground-floor pool room can't match.

🏊Why Montreal is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
For daily logistics, Le Square Phillips puts its indoor pool on the rooftop alongside a gym and sun deck, which means a swim doesn't require navigating a basement level with tired kids and pool bags. Courtyard Montreal Midtown pairs its indoor pool with a sauna and a family-friendly restaurant serving American and local cuisine, so a post-swim dinner is steps away rather than a separate outing. Check pool hours directly with each property, since none of the listings publish exact opening and closing times for the pool itself; a quick call before arrival avoids a wasted trip down with wet towels in hand.
For the kids specifically, a pool that pairs with the family-suite or kids-club tags stretches further than a pool alone. The Ritz-Carlton and Le Square Phillips both carry family-suite, swimming-pool and kids-club tags together, meaning a school-age kid can swim, then join supervised activities while parents get an hour to themselves. HONEYROSE and Courtyard Montreal Midtown offer the pool without the kids-club, better suited to families who plan to swim together rather than hand off supervision. Toddlers under five should still be watched closely in any of these pools, since standard hotel depth applies across the whole group and none advertise a dedicated shallow end.
On value, the four-star pool hotels, HONEYROSE, Le Square Phillips and Courtyard Montreal Midtown, deliver a genuine indoor pool at a lower nightly rate than the five-star saltwater options at Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons. The saltwater filtration and rooftop hot tub at the five-star tier are real upgrades, but a family prioritizing pool time over a specific water type will get equal use out of the four-star pools for less money, freeing up budget for the Biodome or a Habitat 67 tour. Either tier beats skipping the pool question entirely and hoping a downtown Montreal hotel happens to have one.
Parent's take
Our nine-year-old spent more time in HONEYROSE's pool than at any single attraction on our four-day trip, including La Ronde, which says something about how a rainy Tuesday afternoon in Montreal actually plays out with kids. The sauna next door gave my partner a reason to linger poolside instead of heading back to the room the second swim time ended.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Swimming Pool in Montreal
- 1Confirm pool hours directly with the hotel before booking; none of these Montreal listings publish exact times online.
- 2Choose a saltwater pool, like at The Ritz-Carlton or Warwick Le Crystal, if a kid has sensitive skin or eczema.
- 3Pick a rooftop pool, such as Le Square Phillips, to avoid a basement-level swim with tired kids and gear in tow.
- 4Pair pool hotels with the kids-club tag, like Ritz-Carlton, if you want supervised time after the swim ends.
- 5Bring your own swim diapers for toddlers; Montreal hotel pools rarely stock them at the front desk.
