Family-Friendly Indoor Pools in D.C.

All of the pools on our list are family-friendly, but some do have specific family hours. Since some of the pools are connected to privately run fitness centers, lap swim times and swim classes may get priority hours.

Also, this being D.C., don’t be surprised if memberships are offered at your hotel pool. While it is still safe to bring your children to the pool, do keep in mind that non-guests could be there.

Most Beautiful D.C. Hotels With Indoor Pools

The mostly beautiful indoor pools in D.C. are filled with light and make you feel like you are on a tropical vacation. I love a pool that has luscious pool towels, comfy lounge chairs, plants throught the room, tables for me to work while my kids swim, and of course, loads of natural light.

The adjacent bar and snack service are definite perks, but those are a bit harder to come by than light and plants.
