Why hotels with a pool, why here
Hotels with a pool in Gaborone are a practical upgrade in Botswana’s warm climate, offering a cool, private space to unwind after work or sightseeing. For location, many visitors base themselves near the Central Business District for easy access to key offices—such as the Southern African Development Community (SADC) headquarters in Gaborone’s CBD—or in greener, more residential neighbourhoods where evenings feel calmer. Kgale Hill is one of the city’s best-known landmarks, with views over Gaborone Dam and the surrounding area, making it a popular point for day trips.
A genuinely “pool hotel” stay goes beyond having water on site: look for a properly maintained pool, reliable sun or shade, and on-site guest comforts that fit everyday travel—especially family trips, conference visitors, and travellers who value downtime. In this selection, Room50two (4★), 53A Luxury Bed & Breakfast (4★) and Moritshane estate (3★) suit those who want a laid-back base with downtime built in, while Elegant and Exclusive Boutique Guesthouse (5★) and The Oak Tree House (3★) appeal to guests seeking a more boutique, scenic pace.
For where to stay, choose the CBD for convenience, or a residential pocket for quieter evenings and easier recovery time between excursions. These options make it easier to enjoy the city while still having a proper place to relax in between.
