Best Hotels in Denver With a Pool for US Travelers
Denver’s high-altitude sunshine makes a pool a worthwhile amenity for a Memorial Day weekend or summer trip. Whether you are flying through Denver International Airport, heading to a convention, or exploring downtown and Cherry Creek, these Denver hotels with pools offer concrete location and amenity tradeoffs worth comparing before booking.
What to expect from Denver hotel pools
Denver hotel pools generally fall into three groups: seasonal hotel rooftop plunge pools with skyline views, year-round rooftop pools, and combined indoor/outdoor pools at airport or suburban hotels. Capacity can be small—The Rally Hotel caps its Skybridge Rooftop Deck at 19 bathers at a time—and extra fees vary. Warwick Denver, for example, adds an $18 daily Urban Retreat Fee plus tax, plus a separate daily charge for wireless internet.
