Don’t Sweat in Texas: The 20 Best Hotels with Pools in the Lone Star State
Texans love their state, but even they’ll admit it gets a little toasty sometimes. Heck, lately it’s even gotten freakishly cold — at least for a Lone Star winter.
Hotels with Pools in Texas
Though Austin is the state capital of Texas, the city is something of a Portlandia-Latin American island in the heart of the Lone Star state. Outsiders call it “The People’s Republic of Austin” while locals, looking to stem the tide of transplants, sell t-shirts that read, “I hear Dallas is nice.” Whether you’re looking to move or just want to cool off in the water, Austin has it all from downtown rooftops with character to family-friendly hideouts that are easy on the wallet.
Start planning with these hotels with pools in Austin.

Other Texan cities might argue various claims to fame, but nobody can take the claim of the most diverse city in the United States from Houston.

Suffice it to say, there’s plenty to explore in this surprisingly quirky town. Given how full a Houston agenda can quickly become, you’ll want to make sure you have someplace nice lined up to relax in. Try these hotels with pools in Houston.
