Who says you need sunshine to swim?
After a day spent skiing, lounge in luxury via the saltwater pool, sauna, and hot tub featured above. The pièce de résistance of your soak will be mountain views.
TripAdvisor review: "Tasteful elegance throughout the property. Beautiful scenic grounds, warm and elegant decor, plus fun amenities like a gorgeous indoor pool and huge hot tub make this a special place (and it's the only ski resort in Alaska!). Our beds were comfy, our shower hot and spacious, the service good." —Amy M.

Before this property was transformed into a hotel, it played home to the Medinah Athletic Club! This explains the junior Olympic swimming pool and the original 1920s-era Spanish Majolica tiles that still remain.
Tripadvisor review: "From the moment we arrived, we felt at home. Will greeted us with a smile, grabbed our luggage, and helped us check in. The bellman told us about the room’s features and places to visit near the hotel. Lunch was great, the room was very comfortable, the exercise facility was fabulous, and the pool was so cool. We had wonderful weekend and are looking forward to returning." —sflischel49

Mountain views, an enclosed pool, and six acres of property make this hotel seem like a private resort hidden from the hustle and bustle of the city — except it’s actually super close to the city center. The best of both worlds, to quote the great Hannah Montana.
Tripadvisor review: "This is a lovely, clean, and newly-renovated hotel with a quiet but friendly atmosphere and nice après ski bar. This hotel also has a heated indoor pool and reading areas throughout, plus an ample breakfast spread. Staff is well-trained and location is easy and safe." — WesternWanderer_AM

This heated indoor pool can be best described as an oasis: It is stone-tiled, sky-lit, and the perfect spot for sunset watching.
Tripadvisor review: "You don’t want to miss the STUNNING indoor pool and gym facilities. A great way to start and end the day. Fun note: people order room service to the pool. I thought that was pretty neat." —CaliforniaSunnydays

Tripadvisor review: "We spent a long weekend in Cleveland to go to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Christmas Story House, and explore the city. We chose this hotel because of the location, the fact that it is new, and the price was great. The pool was also an important part of our decision, and it did not disappoint! The staff was friendly and gave us anything we needed." —Kimberly H.

Families, take heed: This is exactly where you'll want to book your next family vacay. Surrounded by mountain hot springs and lake trails, the indoor waterpark will be the cherry on top.
Tripadvisor review: "We overnighted in Glenwood Springs to avoid driving in a snow storm and were so excited to find an indoor pool with a waterslide, basketball hoop, fountain, and kiddie slide for our kids to play on during a cold day. We ended up swimming three times in 24 hours and enjoyed walking a few yards to the tram to ride up the mountain. Turned into a fun mini-vacation on our road trip. We enjoyed the game room, too. Good size room, clean, and comfortable all at a great price. Will definitely stay again." —peachygirl33

Dim lighting and dark walls make this Portland pool look like some sort of swanky lounge (the overpriced kind with a line wrapped around the block).
Tripadvisor review: "I have been staying at the Porter intermittently since it opened and continue to stay whenever I have business in downtown Portland. The amenities and the staff are what bring me back. I LOVE the pool and workout areas as well as the dining and bars." —Heather U

My room was fantastic with fabulous decor. The dining room and the pool in the basement were just simply beautiful. The staff is very cordial yet friendly." —frequenttraveler20

This heated indoor pool looks like it was taken from a modern-day fairytale and plopped right outside your suite. Heaven = it exists in the form of this backyard oasis.
Tripadvisor review: "Great trip. All-inclusive with breakfast buffet and dinner. Rooms are spacious and there are even rooms directly off of the indoor pool and sauna area. The staff is very polite and they even message you via cell phone to make sure that your stay is as fabulous as it can be. I am returning to this resort, but for a longer stay next time." —Relaxingtime123

Drinks by the indoor pool? Not too shabby. This property lets you sip on a cosmo from the comfort of your own lounge chair, and reviews cannot stop gushing about how friendly the pool bartender, Jenny, is!
Tripadvisor review: "We live in the area and come here often for staycations. Over the years, we have formed a wonderful friendship with Jenny, the pool bartender. She makes the best cosmo! I get a tequila cosmo and it sure is yummy. She always has such a wonderful smile on her face." —Jaclyn S.
