Hotels with a Pool in Bloemfontein, Free State

Eleven Bloemfontein hotels on this page list a swimming pool, and they serve very different travellers. The Royal Fischer Hotel is a five-star, adults-only stay, Tredenham Boutique Hotel adds a spa and a fitness centre, and Dips And T Hotel & Spa and Bloem Spa Hotel & Conference pair year-round outdoor pools with spa facilities. Southern Sun and Hobbit Boutique Hotel suit families, while the two Protea hotels and Premier Hotel Anta Boga serve business stays close to Loch Logan Waterfront. I describe each from its listed facilities and rating, so you can choose by setting rather than by the word pool.

Bloemfontein is the capital of South Africa's Free State province and the country's judicial capital. It is a city of business districts, shopping centres such as Loch Logan Waterfront and the University of the Free State, with Bram Fischer International Airport a short drive away. Visitors come for work, university business and stopovers rather than for a resort holiday, so hotels here compete on pools, gardens and spas.

Eleven Bloemfontein Pools, Four Kinds of Stay

A pool matters in Bloemfontein because the city offers few leisure alternatives to the hotel itself on a hot Free State afternoon. The eleven pools sit in very different settings: a five-star garden, a spa, a family hotel or a central business hotel. I would choose by the rest of the stay, because the pool alone does not separate them.

The Royal Fischer Hotel is the top-rated stay on this page, at 9.3 from 71 reviews, and describes a five-star, adults-only experience. Rooms have air conditioning, private bathrooms, balconies and garden or pool views, and the hotel lists a pool with a view, a hot tub, a fitness centre, a sun terrace, a lush garden, a restaurant and a bar. Tredenham Boutique Hotel, a luxury boutique stay rated 9.0 from 1,149 reviews, lists a pool, a spa and wellness experience, a fitness centre, a garden and a terrace. I would choose the first for adults and the second for a spa stay.

For a pool plus a wellness set, three hotels stand out. Dips And T Hotel & Spa lists a year-round outdoor pool, a hot tub, a sauna, a steam room, spa facilities and a fitness centre, rated 8.2 from 113 reviews. Bloem Spa Hotel & Conference lists a spa, a year-round outdoor pool and a lush garden, with family rooms and balconies, rated 8.3 from 445 reviews. Omni The Pillar Boutique Hotel lists an outdoor pool, a hot tub, a fitness room and a sun terrace, rated 7.9 from 261 reviews, with a restaurant serving Italian, seafood and grill dishes.

Families have three clear options. Southern Sun Bloemfontein lists air-conditioned family rooms with work desks, a year-round outdoor pool, a terrace, a garden and a family-friendly restaurant with halal, vegetarian and gluten-free choices, rated 7.9 from 789 reviews. Hobbit Boutique Hotel lists a year-round outdoor pool, a lush garden, a terrace, private balconies and beauty services, rated 8.5 from 496 reviews. City Lodge Hotel Bloemfontein lists an outdoor pool and a fitness centre, with pool or garden views, rated 8.2 from 784 reviews, and is the simplest of the three.

Three hotels suit business stays. Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein sits in a landscaped garden in the business district with a pool and sun terrace, a lounge fireplace and room service, rated 8.1 from 432 reviews. Protea Hotel by Marriott Bloemfontein Willow Lake lists a pool, a restaurant, a bar and spa and wellness facilities near the N1 highway, rated 8.0 from 921 reviews. Premier Hotel Anta Boga lists an outdoor pool, a restaurant and a sun terrace, 12 km from Bram Fischer International Airport and 1.9 km from Loch Logan Waterfront, rated 7.9 from 700 reviews.

A traveller's take

For adults who want a refined pool stay, I recommend The Royal Fischer Hotel. For a pool with a spa, I would choose Dips And T Hotel & Spa or Bloem Spa Hotel & Conference. For families, my pick would be Hobbit Boutique Hotel or Southern Sun. Our advice is to decide first whether you want a leisure stay or a business base, because the central Protea and Premier hotels serve the second better than the first.

Local tips

  1. 1Choose The Royal Fischer Hotel only for adults: it lists an adults-only policy, and its 9.3 rating comes from 71 reviews, so book early.
  2. 2Pick Dips And T Hotel & Spa if you want a hot tub, sauna and steam room next to the pool, since it lists all three.
  3. 3Check the opening hours of any pool with the hotel, because the listings confirm year-round outdoor pools at several hotels but not when they close.
  4. 4Use Hobbit Boutique Hotel or Southern Sun for children: both list family-friendly accommodation and a year-round outdoor pool.
  5. 5Book a central Protea hotel or Premier Hotel Anta Boga for business trips, since they sit near Loch Logan Waterfront and the business district.
  6. 6Allow time from Bram Fischer International Airport: Premier Hotel Anta Boga lists 12 km, and other listings give no distance.
