Birmingham hotels with a pool
Birmingham hotels with a swimming pool compared on pool type, whether children can use it and whether access is included with the room.
A hotel pool is only useful if you can get in it. The questions that decide whether a pool is worth paying for are whether it is included with the room, whether it opens at a time you can use, and whether children are allowed in it at all.
Birmingham's pools cluster in two places: a handful of larger city-centre hotels, and the resort and country club properties in the surrounding towns. Those are very different stays, and the table below keeps them distinguishable rather than mixing them into one ranking.
Included, restricted or chargeable
Three arrangements are common and they are not interchangeable.
- Included with the room. Usual at the resort and country club end, and at some city hotels with their own leisure club.
- Part of a health club with public members. The pool exists but peak times are busy and children's hours may be limited to a window.
- Chargeable or bookable. Less common for a pool alone, more common where the pool sits inside a spa.
Opening hours matter more than pool size for most trips. A pool that closes at 20:00 is no use after an evening event, and one that opens at 07:00 is very useful before a conference. We publish what we could establish and leave the rest blank rather than filling it in.
Editorial picks
Which of these to choose
Each pick names the situation it suits. A hotel that is right for one trip is usually wrong for another.

Distances are straight-line, calculated from each property's own coordinates. Walking times are derived from those distances with an allowance for street routing, so treat them as indicative for comparing hotels against each other rather than as measured route times.
Thumbnails show the nearest landmark or the area each property sits in, never the property itself. We hold no licensed photograph of these hotels and we do not generate one.
A dash means we could not establish that detail, not that the answer is no. We leave it open rather than guess.
Facility details come from listing data and guest reports rather than from the operator, so treat them as a strong indication and confirm what matters when you book.

What each one actually offers
- Birmingham city centre
- Hilton Garden Inn Birmingham Brindleyplace. Guests mention a pool and a gym. The trade-off: parking is a nearby garage rather than the hotel's own, so that walk is part of every arrival and departure.
- Birmingham city centre
- Hyatt Regency Birmingham. An indoor pool, mentioned in guest reviews and in listing data. The trade-off: nothing about it stands out sharply enough to pick it over the other 40 properties we compare within a mile, so it comes down to rate on your dates.
- Birmingham city centre
- Conference Aston - Hotel and Conference Centre. Guests describe a pool, sauna and steam room, with the gym included. The trade-off: nothing about it stands out sharply enough to pick it over the other 26 properties we compare within a mile, so it comes down to rate on your dates.
- Solihull and the NEC
- Crowne Plaza Birmingham Nec by IHG. A pool is indicated by listing data. The trade-off: the city centre is 8.0 miles away, so an evening in town needs a plan for the journey back.
- Walmley, Sutton Coldfield
- New Hall Hotel & Spa. An indoor pool. The trade-off: it is well outside Birmingham, so anything in the city centre means a drive of twenty minutes or more in each direction.
- Wishaw, Warwickshire
- The Belfry Hotel & Resort. Yes. The trade-off: it is well outside Birmingham, so anything in the city centre means a drive of twenty minutes or more in each direction.
Common questions
Which Birmingham hotels have a swimming pool?
The table lists the properties in our selection where we could establish that a pool exists, separated into city-centre hotels and the resort and country club properties further out. Several booking-site results for this search rely on a facility flag we could not confirm, and those are not listed here.
Can children swim in Birmingham hotel pools?
It varies and it is worth checking. Hotels whose pool sits inside a members' health club commonly restrict children to set hours, and adults-only spa pools exist. Do not assume family access from the presence of a pool.
Is pool access included in the room rate?
At the resort and country club properties it usually is. In the city, where the pool belongs to a leisure club with outside members, access is normally included for guests but at busier times than you might expect.
Are there outdoor pools in Birmingham?
Effectively no, for the obvious climatic reason. Assume any hotel pool here is indoors unless the property says otherwise.
What is the difference between this page and the spa hotels page?
This page is about swimming. The spa page is about treatment rooms, saunas, steam and thermal suites, which are often sold separately and sometimes restricted to adults. Several properties appear on both, for different reasons.
