You know it's summer in Calgary when the Hotel Arts pool is bustling once again. As the province moves into Stage 2 of reopening, the Hotel Arts pool is officially back in action.

While the pool is attached to a hotel, you don't have to be a hotel guest to use it. You can book a table for poolside dining where you can eat, drink, and gain access to the swimming pool. You can make reservations or come on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Pool usage is being managed carefully to adhere to capacity limits, so a $20 pool fee may apply.

Beyond the beautiful pool, amazing music, and good vibes, the menu is also incredible.

You can get all sorts of amazing dishes and the cocktails are even better. From tropical drinks to beer cocktails, you know you'll stay refreshed while you're .

Hotel Arts Pool

Price: $20 pool fee

Address: 119 12 Ave. S.W., Calgary, AB

Why You Need To Go: This iconic Calgary pool is the perfect way to spend an afternoon in the sun with an amazing cocktail in your hand.
