Best Hotels with a Swimming Pool in Patna
2 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Patna . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Only two hotels in Patna's family hotel scene list a swimming pool, a sharp contrast with beach or resort cities where pools are standard. The Royal Bihar offers a rooftop pool paired with a separate indoor pool and hot tub, while Taj City Centre, the city's 5-star option, runs an infinity pool alongside its own spa and wellness centre. Both sit within a short drive of Jay Prakash Narayan Airport, and both charge a premium over Patna's typical 3-star family-room hotel, so a pool here means a deliberate upgrade rather than a standard amenity.
Patna's summers run hot and dry for months at a stretch, which is exactly why a hotel pool stands out here more than it would in a cooler city. Most of Patna's hotel stock sits along Bailey Road, Patliputra Colony and the AIIMS corridor, built for short practical stays rather than leisure, so the two pool properties in this list, one indoor-outdoor and one a 5-star resort, serve a genuinely different traveller than the rest of the city's hotel scene.

🏊Why Patna is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
Booking a pool hotel in Patna narrows the choice to just two properties, which simplifies logistics but limits flexibility on price and location. The Royal Bihar sits 4 km from Jay Prakash Narayan Airport and 12 km from Patna Railway Station, with a family-room layout that adds a dining area; Taj City Centre is a 16-minute walk from the railway station and 5 km from the airport, with bathrobes and a wider restaurant menu spanning seven cuisines. Neither property is walking distance from the other, so the decision effectively comes down to airport versus station proximity and 4-star versus 5-star budget.
For children, a rooftop or indoor pool is the single biggest activity draw among Patna's family hotels, since neither property lists a dedicated kids' club or playground alongside the water. The Royal Bihar's indoor pool gives an option regardless of Patna's hot, dry season or the rare cooler spell, useful for a toddler who cannot yet handle direct sun for long. Taj City Centre's infinity pool pairs with a hot tub, better suited to older children and a full family group wanting to spend an afternoon by the water rather than a quick dip.
The Royal Bihar sits closer to Patna's typical 3-star and 4-star price band while still offering both a rooftop and indoor pool, making it the better value pick for a family wanting pool access without a 5-star price tag. Taj City Centre costs more but backs it with 175 guest reviews, the largest feedback base of any hotel in this list, and a restaurant menu spanning seven cuisines that goes well beyond what a pool-only comparison suggests. The choice ultimately depends on whether the family is optimising for pool time specifically or for an overall resort-style stay.
Parent's take
Our son spent most of one Patna afternoon in The Royal Bihar's indoor pool while the heat outside made anything else impossible, and the hot tub afterward became the evening wind-down routine for the rest of the stay. Having both an indoor and outdoor option meant we never had to plan the day around the weather, which mattered more than any other single amenity on that trip.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Swimming Pool in Patna
- 1Choose The Royal Bihar's indoor pool over the rooftop option during Patna's hottest months if your children cannot handle direct midday sun for long stretches.
- 2Book Taj City Centre if you want a wider restaurant menu alongside the pool; it spans seven cuisines, useful for a multi-night stay with picky eaters.
- 3Confirm pool hours directly with the hotel before booking, since neither property lists specific opening times in its standard amenity information.
- 4Pack swim gear regardless of season; Patna's climate supports pool use most of the year outside the coolest winter weeks.
- 5Compare the 4 km and 5 km airport distances at both properties if a short transfer matters more to your trip than the pool itself.
