Hands up if you base your hotel booking on how awesome the pools are? With 3 kids it’s definitely one of the top must-haves on our list.

Whether you’re looking for a getaway during the summer or a fun winter “stay”-cation here is a list of hotels with awesome pools (and waterslides!) across Alberta!
