5 best hotels with a pool in Long Beach

Hotels with a pool in Long Beach are a great fit for travellers who want an easy beach break without sacrificing comfort. Long Beach’s most convenient bases tend to cluster around the downtown waterfront—where Shoreline Village overlooks Rainbow Harbor and Queensway Bay—and along the lively Pike area at Rainbow Harbor, known for dining, retail and entertainment right on the water.

A genuinely “pool” hotel is about more than a splash of blue: look for a proper on-site swimming setup (ideally heated or open extended hours), comfortable loungers, towels (or pool essentials), and a setting that suits your pace—whether that’s quiet laps, a family wind-down, or a relaxed evening dip. These options suit couples on a short getaway, families who want downtime between the Aquarium of the Pacific and beachfront strolls, and business travellers who like a bit of recovery time after meetings—especially in warmer coastal months.

For where to stay, prioritise downtown for walkability to the waterfront and major attractions, or choose a nearby apartment-style stay if you prefer extra space and a calmer routine.

In our inventory, you’ll find strong pool-friendly choices such as Residence Inn Long Beach Downtown (3★), The Boulevard Hotel (4★), and Hyatt Centric The Pike Long Beach (4★), alongside budget-conscious options like Beachrunners Inn (2★).
