Best Hotels with an Indoor Pool in Madrid
Hotels with an indoor pool in Madrid are worth knowing in a city where winters are cold and summer afternoons are too hot to swim outside. Two stay in our listings: Brach Madrid, with an indoor swimming pool, a sauna and spa facilities two minutes from Gran Via Metro Station, and Four Seasons Hotel Madrid, which adds an indoor pool to a rooftop pool and a full spa. This page compares them so you can choose by neighbourhood and by how much spa you want. Both are five-star hotels with family rooms and a spa.
Madrid is a city of extremes by the calendar: hot, dry summers and cold, sharp winters at about 650 metres above sea level. Locals respond by moving indoors for the worst hours, and an indoor pool follows the same logic. It is a quiet, sheltered part of a city that otherwise lives in the street.
Where to stay
Two indoor pools, two spa-led stays in Madrid
An indoor pool is the pool that never closes for the season. Madrid winters are cool and dry, July and August push people out of the midday sun, and an indoor pool lets you swim at any hour and in any weather. For travellers who plan to swim more than once, it is the more reliable pool type, and the two hotels here pair it with a sauna and spa.
Brach Madrid - Evok Collection is a five-star hotel on Calle Gran Via, with an indoor swimming pool, a sauna, spa facilities, a wellness centre and a sun terrace. It also runs yoga and fitness classes and has a fitness room, restaurant and bar. Gran Via Metro Station is a 2-minute walk, and Plaza Mayor and the Royal Palace are less than 1 km away. Guests rated the location 9.8 for a two-person trip. The hotel suits travellers who want a full wellness routine in the middle of the city.
Four Seasons Hotel Madrid pairs an indoor pool with a rooftop swimming pool, a spa and wellness centre, a sauna, a hot tub and a fitness centre, plus massage and beauty treatments. It is a short walk from Gran Via Metro Station, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum and Plaza Mayor, and 12 km from Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport. The hotel has 3 restaurants, and guests rated the location 9.6 for a two-person trip. It suits travellers who want the broadest water offer in one address. Having an indoor pool and a rooftop pool in the same hotel also means you can choose by time of day: the rooftop for sun and air, the indoor pool for a calm swim when the weather or the hour is wrong.
The difference is scale. Brach Madrid focuses on a compact, wellness-led stay, with classes and a sauna beside the indoor pool and a location right on Gran Via. Four Seasons offers more, with a rooftop pool in summer and a hot tub, at a more formal level. Both are five-star hotels, so expect rates to match, and both keep the pool open independently of Madrid's weather. A practical difference is the pool you reach first: at Brach Madrid, the indoor pool is the main event, while at Four Seasons it is one of several water options, so you may spend your time across the whole spa rather than in one pool.
Travellers who need an indoor pool for children or for a cold-weather trip should confirm details directly. Both hotels list family rooms, which suggests they can host a family, but pool hours and access rules for children are the hotel's to confirm. Brach Madrid also lists an airport shuttle, which is helpful after a long flight when the pool is the first thing you want. Ask about pool depth, temperature and swim hours when you book, because lap swimmers and families with children want different answers than someone who plans to float for twenty minutes before dinner.
A traveler's takeI booked Brach Madrid in January because the forecast said sleet, and the indoor pool made the decision look smart. Gran Via Metro Station was two minutes from the door, so I could do the Royal Palace in the morning and be in the sauna by five. Madrid's winter air at that altitude is dry and sharp, and the warm water was the best part.

Indoor pool, rooftop pool, sauna and hot tub together
Why guests love itA stay here can be built around any weather. A morning at the Thyssen-Bornemisza or on Plaza Mayor leads to an afternoon on the rooftop pool in summer, or in the indoor pool, sauna and hot tub in winter. Treatments finish the day, and one of the three restaurants handles dinner. Rooms with a courtyard or city view keep the evening calm, which suits a longer stay with a spa routine.

Indoor pool and sauna two minutes from Gran Via Metro
Why guests love itA stay here tends to alternate between city and water. Mornings head out from the Metro station two minutes away toward Plaza Mayor or the Royal Palace, and the afternoon returns to the indoor pool, the sauna and perhaps a yoga class. Dinner can be in the hotel restaurant or on Gran Via itself. Rooms with a city view and a bathrobe make the evening feel like a proper rest.
Local tips
- 1Choose Brach Madrid for a compact wellness stay: indoor pool, sauna and classes two minutes from Gran Via Metro Station, with Plaza Mayor less than 1 km away.
- 2Pick Four Seasons Hotel Madrid if you want an indoor pool plus a rooftop pool and a hot tub, and confirm the rooftop opening dates in cooler months.
- 3Visit between November and March when indoor water matters most, and plan museum mornings and pool afternoons around Madrid's short winter daylight.
- 4Ask each hotel about pool hours, as indoor pools and spas commonly run on set schedules and may require a booking for treatments.
- 5Use the airport shuttle that Brach Madrid lists after a long flight, since Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport is about 12 km from both hotels.
- 6Book spa treatments at Four Seasons ahead of arrival, because massage and beauty treatments are the part of the offer that fills first.
