3 best hotels with a pool in Beppu

Hotels with a pool in Beppu suit travellers who want the city’s classic hot-spring atmosphere, but with extra leisure time on-site. Beppu is famed for its “hell” (jigoku) hot spring sights, with a large cluster around Kannawa—an area known for steam-filled geothermal scenery and iconic attractions. It’s also ideal for guests who want easy access to the Beppu Jigoku Tour and walkable onsen neighbourhood energy, rather than a remote, car-only stay.

A hotel is truly a good fit for “Hotels with a pool” when the swimming pool experience is genuinely usable (not just a small splash feature) and is complemented by the resort-style facilities that Beppu hotels are known for—such as hot-spring baths, comfort-focused leisure areas, and on-site dining. This makes them especially appealing to families and multi-generational groups, as well as couples who want one base for both sightseeing and downtime.

In practice, this means choosing properties like InterContinental - ANA BEPPU RESORT & SPA (5★), Suginoi Hotel (4★), or Beppu Showaen (5★) for a resort rhythm—then planning your day trips to Kannawa and beyond. If you prefer a quieter feel with polished onsen-orientated stays, options such as Amane Resort Seikai and Amane Resort Gahama pair well with a more relaxed pace.
