Hotels With Good Pools Near Disneyland

Around Disneyland in Anaheim, almost every hotel has a pool, so the useful question is which pool is worth planning a day around. The hotels on this page are independent properties near the Disneyland Resort, not Disney's own resorts, and none lists waterslides or a lazy river. What separates them is the detail: Anaheim Desert Inn & Suites has an indoor pool and hot tub directly across from the Main Gate, Homewood Suites by Hilton adds a children's pool, and several, such as Travelodge Inn & Suites and Alpine Inn, heat their outdoor pools. I compare them on the pool first, then on distance and room setup.

Which Anaheim Pools Earn Their Place

A pool turns a long Disneyland day into two shorter ones: rides in the morning, a swim at midday, the park again for the evening. That only works if the hotel is close and the pool is pleasant, which is how this list is ordered.

Distance decides whether the midday swim actually happens. Anaheim Desert Inn & Suites sits directly across the street from the Disneyland Resort Main Gate and offers an indoor pool, a hot tub and a rooftop deck for watching the fireworks, a rare combination this close. Fairfield by Marriott Anaheim Resort is listed 0.5 km from the entrance with an outdoor pool, a whirlpool and a games room. Desert Palms Hotel & Suites and Budget Inn Anaheim are each about a 10-minute walk, and Wyndham Anaheim about 12 minutes, so a return to the pool after lunch stays realistic without a car.

For families with young children, the type of pool matters as much as the size. Homewood Suites by Hilton Anaheim Conv Ctr/Disneyland Main lists an outdoor pool, a separate children's pool and a hot tub, along with studios and suites that have full kitchens and a free full breakfast each day. Residence Inn by Marriott at Anaheim Resort offers themed family suites with bunk beds and a fully equipped kitchen, and Best Western Plus Park Place Inn lists pool and spa facilities a short walk from the gates. In my view these three are the strongest choices when children set the pace of the day.

Heated pools are worth seeking out outside the summer months, when Southern California evenings cool down quickly. Travelodge Inn & Suites by Wyndham on Disneyland Drive lists a heated outdoor pool and a hot tub about one mile from the resort, and Alpine Inn near Convention Center and the Park, 1.6 km away, has a heated outdoor pool and the joint best score here, 9.1 out of 10. Hampton Inn & Suites Anaheim Resort Convention Center describes its outdoor pool as open year-round, a useful detail for a winter trip. I would check these before booking a cooler-season stay.

I prefer to be clear about what these pools are not. None of the hotels listed on this page offers waterslides, a splash zone or a lazy river; they are standard hotel pools, sometimes with a hot tub. If a pool complex is the main goal, this selection will disappoint. If the goal is a calm swim between two park sessions, it works well, and Sheraton Park Hotel at the Anaheim Resort adds private balconies with park or pool views. My method: choose by walking time first, then by heated pool or children's pool, then compare guest scores, which run from 7.4 to 9.1.

A traveler's take

If I were planning a family trip, I would book Homewood Suites by Hilton for its children's pool and kitchens, or Anaheim Desert Inn & Suites if being across from the Main Gate mattered most. For couples, I would choose Wyndham Anaheim for its 9.1 score and twelve-minute walk. I would not book any of them expecting a waterpark.

None of the hotels listed on this page offers waterslides or a lazy river. They are standard hotel pools, often with a hot tub. In my view they work best for a calm swim between park sessions rather than as an attraction in their own right.
