Pool Day Pass Chicago

How to book a Chicago pool day pass

A Chicago pool day pass works like a hotel booking for the hours you need, and you can book your day pass in minutes. This page lists the day pass hotels with pool access in the Chicago area, and each package shows the check-in time, how long the slot lasts and what comes with it. You reserve with instant confirmation, pay at the hotel and keep free cancellation until the last minute on most offers.

The pool comes with a private room where you can shower, change and rest, and you can shape the day as you like: some hotels add breakfast, a suite with balcony or an apartment with two queen beds for the family. Every booking earns loyalty points that lower the price of your next reservation.

Chicago day pools you can swim in all year

Chicago summers are short, so the best Chicago day pools are the ones you can use in January as well as in July. Downtown, a rooftop pool on the Magnificent Mile is a summer-only plan. Most hotels on this page have an indoor swimming pool, often heated, which makes a pool pass Chicago locals can book on a snowy weekend just as easily as on a hot August afternoon: heated pool day passes, hot tubs and a warm room, whatever the season.

Depending on the property you can also find a hot tub, a fitness center, loungers and fresh towels, and in summer some hotels open an outdoor pool. The package page lists what each hotel includes, so you know what to expect before you arrive.
