CharmingHotelsUSA - Find a hotel worth remembering.

Hotels with pools across the United States

US hotels with a swimming pool confirmed in our source data. Indoor versus outdoor is not specified in the export.

  • Pool confirmed

The swimming-pool field in our export is reliable: it confirms that a property has a pool. What it does not tell us is whether that pool is indoor, outdoor, heated or open all year - which is why our indoor pool pages are not in the index yet.

What qualifies for this list

  • Swimming-pool flag set in the source data
  • Indoor/outdoor, heating and seasonality are not specified in our export

9,184 qualifying stays reviewed. 12 made this shortlist.

We start from every hotel, inn, resort, lodge and bed & breakfast in our United States dataset that scores 8.5 or higher on Booking.com with at least 100 guest reviews. For this page we then looked only at properties in the United States. See how we select hotels.

Common questions

How many hotels in the United States made this shortlist?

3122 properties cleared our criteria and 12 are shown above, ranked by Charming Score. The highest-scoring is Carnegie Hotel & Spa at 9.9, with a 9.5 guest rating from 804 Booking.com reviews.

What do these stays cost?

Indicative nightly rates for the shortlist run from about $150 to $879 in our data export. Rates move with date, season and availability, so the figure on each card is a starting point rather than a quote.

What is the Charming Score?

It is our own 0-10 selection score, not a guest rating. It combines the Booking.com guest score (45%), review volume (20%), property class (10%), amenity fit (10%), independence and property character (10%) and price positioning (5%). The full method is published on the Charming Score page.

Have you stayed at these hotels?

No, and we do not pretend otherwise. Our selections come from guest data, property facts and location, not from first-hand visits. Our editorial policy explains exactly what we do and do not claim.
