Top Cork Hotels with Pools (2026)

The Dean Cork

Cork is a laid back city on Ireland’s southern coast, shaped by the River Lee, historic streets, a working harbour and easy access to the surrounding countryside. It’s easy to explore on foot, but busy enough that having a hotel with a pool feels like a real bonus. Whether you’re booking a central city stay or something a little quieter on the outskirts, there are plenty of good options to choose from. You’ll find everything from modern hotels with fitness facilities to more traditional properties, many with indoor pools that are ideal for a relaxed swim at the end of the day.

For a boutique base

The Montenotte

  • The Dean Cork is the perfect spot if you want city life with a touch of luxury. Rooms have freestanding copper baths and contemporary decor, while Sophie’s rooftop restaurant offers panoramic views. The indoor pool, sauna, and chic bar make it a perfect spot to unwind after exploring Cork or nearby Blarney.
  • Right on the harbour, The Montenotte feels bright and cheerful, with floor-to-ceiling windows and colourful interiors. Savour fresh seafood at the Panorama Bistro, take a dip in the indoor pool, or relax on the terrace. It’s a great base for wandering round Cork or taking a quick trip out to Blarney Castle.

For a country house hotel

Hayfield Manor

  • Just a few minutes from Cork city centre, Hayfield Manor sits in its own peaceful grounds, but still keeps you close to the action. The rooms mix classic elegance with modern comfort, while the spa, indoor pool, and award-winning Orchids Restaurant make it easy to relax and indulge. Family-friendly, yet perfect for a romantic break as well.

For a riverside stay

The River Lee

  • The River Lee is a modern city hotel located right on the banks of the River Lee, with bright, airy rooms with river or city views. Take a dip in the 20 metre indoor pool, unwind in the spa, work out at the NRG fitness centre, or enjoy brunch and dinner on the River Club’s terrace. Fitness, cocktails, and city life all wrapped into one.
