Hotels in Algiers with a pool

Indoor or outdoor pool: it all depends on the season

In Algiers the question is not only “is there a pool?” but “will it be open during my stay?”. An outdoor pool is mostly enjoyed from late spring to early autumn: several hotels themselves describe theirs as open “in season”. If you travel in winter, during the December or February holidays, look for an indoor pool instead.

Among our hotel pages, the Oasis Hotel and the Sofitel Algiers Hamma Garden have both: an indoor pool for winter and an outdoor pool for summer. The Soltane Hôtel, in Hussein Dey, has an indoor pool and a hammam. Access times (sessions, reserved hours) are decided by each hotel: if the pool really matters to you, ask our team before booking.

Which area of Algiers should you choose?

In the centre and just east of it, around Hamma and Hussein Dey, you are a few minutes from the Jardin d'Essai, the Maqam Echahid and the Grande Poste: the Sofitel, the Oasis Hotel and the Soltane Hôtel combine a pool with neighbourhood life. On the heights, the El Aurassi (in Les Tagarins) and the El Djazaïr (in El Mouradia) have outdoor pools with views over the city or set in gardens. Hydra and Ben Aknoun are mainly residential and business districts: among our hotel pages, the closest hotels with a pool are those on the heights.

To the west, the coast changes the stay: in Zéralda, Les Sables d'Or and the Mazafran combine pool and beach, with Staouéli and Sidi Fredj close by; in Aïn Benian, the Mercure Alger Palais des Congrès adds a spa to its outdoor pool. To the east, in Bab Ezzouar, the Mercure Alger Aéroport lets you swim before or after a flight: see also our page Hotels near Algiers airport.

With family: pool, beach or both?

With children, a hotel with a pool changes the holiday: swim in the morning, visit the Casbah or the Jardin d'Essai in the afternoon. In summer, Zéralda is the favourite seaside resort of families from the Algiers region: hotels there are in high demand in July and August, so it is best to book early.

Before choosing, check three points on the hotel page and on each offer: the type of pool (indoor or outdoor), family rooms or suites if there are more than three of you, and breakfast, included or not depending on the rate. For a winter stay with children, an indoor pool avoids disappointment.
