Jump into some summer fun with a day pass to pools, patios, and outdoor spaces at hotels and resorts around Houston.

We’re practically into summer in Houston, which makes finding the best spots around town to cool off and enjoy a dip in the pool a high priority. But fear not, because Houston is home to dozens of pools and places to unwind at its many hotels and resorts around town.

What’s more is that you don’t need to be an overnight guest at the hotel in order to enjoy amenities when you book a day pass through the hotel and other partner sites, like ResortPass. We’ve narrowed down to some of the best spots in town where you can take a lap on the lazy river, sip on tropical drinks, and perfect your tan for summer 2024.

In addition to finding pool passes in the heart of and around Houston and the Woodlands, you’ll also find daycation pool passes during your travels outside of Houston—like in and around Austin and the Hill Country, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, San Antonio, South Padre Island, New Orleans, plus around the United States, Mexico, Canada, and beyond. 

Please note that day pass prices and availability are subject to change based on booking date, demand, and at the facility’s discretion. If you make a purchase following links on this page, 365 Houston may receive a small share of the sale at no additional cost to you.
