Golfers traveling to Paris who want to continue their aquatic workouts need to choose carefully. Because many luxury hotels are built in locations that were repurposed to hotel use quite some time ago, pools are not always easy to find. There are a few hotels, however, that include an indoor pool (a necessity in winter) as part of the amenities offered to hotel guests.
Renaissance Paris Vendome
The Renaissance Paris Vendome, part of the Marriott line of properties, includes an indoor pool as well as a sauna, steam room and fitness facility. Its convenient downtown location makes it ideal for those who need easy access to the shopping districts. It's also a great location to stroll to the Louvre, Tuileries Gardens or Place Vendome.

Hotel le Bristol
The Hotel le Bristol is an understated hotel that focuses on elegance rather than flash. Its pool is built to resemble a sailboat setting, with teak touches and elegant glasswork. The pool is attached to a state-of-the-art fitness facility to help golfers keep trim and toned while off the course. The beautiful three-Michelin-star rated restaurant is seasonally located, either in the Regency Oak room for winter or the Summer restaurant when the weather is fair.

Ritz Paris
The Ritz prides itself in offering the best Paris has to offer. Their sumptuous private pool is overlooked by the mezzanine bar, should your golf partner prefer to refresh herself with a cocktail rather than a swim. This indoor pool is surrounded by beauty: a painted ceiling, frescoes and mosaics in abundance, as well as the simple sound of water lapping gently at its edge. Guests can enjoy a light meal poolside prior to heading out for time enjoying the delights of Paris.
