Hotels with a Swimming Pool in Indianapolis
8 family-friendly hotels with swimming pool in Indianapolis . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Hotels with a swimming pool in Indianapolis are mostly suburban Hilton and Marriott suites, and eight of them pass our family test. Seven have an indoor pool, from Home 2 Suites Northwest to Residence Inn in Greenwood, and SpringHill Suites Keystone lists an outdoor pool open year-round. They suit parents of toddlers through primary-school kids who want a swim before bedtime. Guest ratings run from 8.7 to 9.5, several offer free parking, and most rooms carry a refrigerator or a kitchenette, so a family can eat in the room and still swim after a museum day. The honest limit: none of the eight sits downtown, so Lucas Oil Stadium and the Children's Museum mean a drive of 12 to 21 km.
Indianapolis is a driving city. Downtown packs the stadium, the convention centre and Circle Centre Mall within a few blocks, while the family hotels with pools sit in Keystone, Greenwood, the airport zone and near Speedway. Hotels near the Children's Museum and the zoo trade a pool for walkability.

🏊Why Indianapolis is Great for Hotels with Swimming Pool
Indianapolis winters are long and cold, and the pool decides whether children burn energy or bounce off the walls. Seven of the eight hotels here keep the water indoors, so a swim works in January as well as July. Most add a breakfast, a kitchenette or a restaurant, which lets parents control the day around nap and swim times.
Daily logistics come first. At Home2 Suites Indianapolis Airport and Home 2 Suites Northwest, interconnected rooms, sofa beds and kitchenettes let a family spread out, and the indoor pool is on site. Hampton Inn & Suites Keystone lists a complimentary American buffet breakfast and SpringHill Suites Keystone a buffet breakfast, so morning is one meal solved. Home2 Suites Greenwood adds a dishwasher in the room. A car is a given: even from the Keystone hotels, Lucas Oil Stadium is 21 km away, and the Indianapolis Zoo is 17 km from the airport pair. Morning routines get easier too: five of these hotels serve a buffet breakfast, so nobody hunts for a restaurant before a museum opens, and several keep a 24-hour front desk that helps a late arrival with sleeping children.
Activities by age follow the pool. Toddlers get the shallow splash and early bedtime, while school-age children can pair a morning at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, which is 16 km from SpringHill Suites Keystone, with an evening swim. TownePlace Suites Airport offers free bicycles, useful for an older child who wants to ride. Teenagers get more from Indiana State Museum and the stadium tour downtown, and the hotel pool becomes the reward at the end of a long drive back. Evenings suit the outdoor fireplaces at Home 2 Suites Northwest and Home2 Suites Airport, where parents can sit while the children dry off, and the barbecue facilities at both let a family grill instead of driving out for dinner on a tired night.
Value is where these hotels win. Rated 8.7 to 9.5 by guests, they cost less than downtown towers, and a kitchen or free breakfast cuts the daily food bill. Residence Inn Greenwood scores 9.5 from 59 reviews and keeps a picnic area and barbecues. The trade-off is time: expect a drive to Circle Centre Mall. If walking to dinner matters more than a swim, pick a downtown suite hotel and visit the pool elsewhere. A simple rule helps: choose Greenwood for value, Keystone for the Children's Museum, and the airport hotels for an early flight or a late landing. Every zone needs a car for downtown, so budget for fuel and for parking near Lucas Oil Stadium on event days.
Parent's take
A parent arrives at SpringHill Suites Keystone after a long drive from the airport, with a four-year-old asleep in the back seat and a nine-year-old asking about the pool. The outdoor pool is listed as open year-round, the room has a family layout, and the buffet breakfast waits in the morning. The next day starts at the Children's Museum, 16 km away, and ends with a swim.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Swimming Pool in Indianapolis
- 1Book an indoor-pool hotel for stays between November and March, because the outdoor pool at SpringHill Suites is the only one of the eight and its comfort in winter depends on the day.
- 2Ask for connecting rooms at Home2 Suites Airport or Hampton Inn & Suites South Greenwood when travelling with two adults and three children, and request them when booking, not at check-in.
- 3Pack goggles and a swim diaper. The pools are hotel pools, not leisure parks, and none of these listings mention depth, slides or lifeguards, so call ahead if your child cannot yet swim.
- 4Plan one drive a day to downtown and keep the afternoon for the pool. Lucas Oil Stadium, the State Museum and Circle Centre Mall sit within a few blocks of each other.
- 5Check the Indianapolis Motor Speedway calendar before booking Hampton Inn & Suites West Speedway, since the hotel is 4.1 km from the track and race weeks change the traffic and the mood.
