Boston hotel pool, spa and gym day passes, with prices

Which Boston hotels let you swim, steam or lift without booking a room, what each pass includes and what it costs right now.

Yes, you can use a Boston hotel's pool, spa or gym without staying the night. You buy a day pass. ResortPass Boston is the main place to do it, with in-city pool passes from $28 and spa passes from $45 to $175.

Marriott runs its own pass site too, and a few spas sell access only with a treatment. Below is what we could verify in late October 2026: where each pass is, what it includes, how to book and what it costs as published. Prices change by day and season, so use them as a guide, not a quote.

ResortPass Boston: which hotels sell day passes

ResortPass is a marketplace for day access to hotels. You reserve online, then check in at the front desk with your confirmation and a photo ID. Its Boston page says no overnight stay is required. Most bookings can be canceled or rescheduled up to 24 hours before check-in for a full refund. Late changes may cost a fee.

One thing to know before you scroll the listings. The Boston page also pulls in suburban hotels in places like Newton, Burlington and Needham, where pool passes start as low as $22. The Royal Sonesta, listed as Boston, is across the river in Cambridge. The table below sticks to hotels in or right beside the city.

Omni Boston Seaport, 450 Summer Street	Heated rooftop pool, hot tub, fitness center, towels. Adults 18 and up. 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.	ResortPass	From $90. Not sold Memorial Day to Labor Day

Pool passes usually cover the pool, a lounger or towels and the gym. Food and drinks are add-ons. Many listings state no age limit, so ask the hotel before bringing kids.

The Omni's rule is the odd one. Its listing says the pass is not available from Memorial Day to Labor Day, so you will not use that rooftop in peak summer through ResortPass. For other rooftop options, see our guide to Boston rooftop pools.

Marriott's iDayPass in Boston

iDayPass is Marriott's own day pass site, not a ResortPass feature. Its Boston page lists five hotels: Boston Marriott Long Wharf, Renaissance Boston Seaport District, Boston Marriott Copley Place, Sheraton Boston Hotel and Boston Marriott Newton. You pick a date, and each hotel shows whether it is bookable that day. On the day we checked, Long Wharf, the Renaissance and Newton showed no availability.

The Sheraton pass covers its saltwater pool, the fitness center with Peloton bikes, lounge chairs, towels, lockers and Wi-Fi, from $33.38. The Copley Place pass covers its heated indoor pool and fitness center, from $33.38. Those are within a dollar of the ResortPass prices, so book whichever has your date.

Other apps: Dayuse and hotel day rooms

Dayuse sells something different: a private hotel room for a few daytime hours. Its Boston-area listings include InterContinental Boston at US$195 for 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. with pool access tagged as included, and Battery Wharf Hotel at US$159. That suits a nap, a quiet call or a shower between meetings. ResortPass sells day rooms too, such as the InterContinental's from $218 for two guests.

If you just need a desk, a hotel lobby or café costs less. We rounded those up in where to work in Boston. Beyond ResortPass, iDayPass and Dayuse, we found no other pool-pass app listing Boston hotels.

Spa day pass Boston: where to book one

Spa access in Boston comes in two forms. Some spas sell an entry pass to the saunas and lounge. Others sell treatments, with the heat and water facilities included.

Hotels with a spa in Boston that welcome non-guests

Place	What you get	How to book	Price as published
Exhale Battery Wharf, 2 Battery Wharf	Saunas and a Zen lounge with tea. Weekdays 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., weekends shorter	ResortPass	Spa pass from $45. With a 50-minute massage or facial, from $165
The Spa at Equinox Dartmouth	Sauna, steam room, cold plunge, relaxation lounge, gym	ResortPass	Spa pass from $175
InterContinental Boston	Day pass includes steam room and relaxation lounge, plus pool and gym	ResortPass	Pass from $73. With a massage, from $258; with a facial, from $291
Omni Boston Seaport (Breve Spa)	One 60-minute treatment plus pool and fitness access	ResortPass	From $302. The pool pass alone does not include the spa
Mandarin Oriental, Boston, 776 Boylston Street	Visitors can use the spa. It has a vitality pool, steam room and lounge, but some facilities may be guest-only	Call the spa or ask the concierge	Price on request
Four Seasons One Dalton Street	Spa treatments sell online. The 64-foot lap pool runs 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. Non-guest pool access is not stated	(617) 936-4703	Price on request
Encore Boston Harbor, Everett	Spa open to non-guests, 18 and up. Heat and water facilities come with a treatment. Fitness center is guests only	Call (857) 770-3900	Facial from $280

A few notes. At the Omni, the spa is a separate purchase from the pool pass, and its Breve Spa keeps shorter days than the pool, so check which days it is open. At Mandarin Oriental, the hotel itself tells visitors to call ahead about facilities. At Four Seasons, an older 2019 Boston Magazine piece said the spa, pool and gym were open to the public. The hotel's current spa page does not repeat that, and its hours have since changed. Ask before you go.

Encore sits in Everett, not Boston proper, so factor in the trip.

Gym day pass Boston: hotel and neighborhood options

Hotel pool passes above include a fitness center, so that is the easiest hotel route. Boston Marriott Cambridge sells a gym-only fitness pass from $39 on ResortPass. Local gyms are often cheaper.

Place	What you get	How to book	Price as published
SoWa Health + Wellness, 560 Harrison Avenue	Fitness floor, group classes (booked with staff), sauna, lockers, towels. Weekdays 5 a.m. to 10 p.m.	Through the club's site, or call (617) 431-6262	$40 for a day; $95 for a week
BU FitRec	Two pools, track, fitness center, courts. Photo ID required; valid the calendar day issued	Buy online, show at the front desk	$15 for ages 16 and up
Beacon Hill Athletic Clubs	Seven locations. Free trial for local residents with proof of residency	Request a trial online	Day pass price not published
YMCA of Greater Boston	Day pass requested through a form. 13 centers across Greater Boston	"Request a Day Pass" form	Price on request

If you travel often, the TrainAway app sells day and week passes at partner gyms without a membership. Open its map to see which Boston gyms take part, since we could not confirm a list.

Which pass should you pick?

• Cheapest swim: Hyatt Regency, Renaissance or Royal Sonesta, from $28.
• Lap swimming: The Sheraton saltwater pool, which Marriott calls one of the largest hotel lap pools in Boston, from about $33 to $34.
• Skyline and a hot tub: The Omni rooftop, from $90, outside summer.
• Swim, steam and fitness in one: InterContinental Boston, from $73.
• Just the sauna: Exhale Battery Wharf, from $45.
• Gym only: BU FitRec at $15 or SoWa at $40.

Pair a swim with a drink at one of the best hotel bars in Boston, since most pools sit in hotels that have one. Before you pay, check the hours on the pass, which can be shorter than the pool's, and the cancellation window.

If you would rather not buy a pass every time

Day passes are flexible, and for an occasional swim they are the right call. They also add up. Four visits to a $34 hotel pool pass comes to $136, before a gym or spa pass on another day.

Create is a private members' club in Boston's five-star hotels, built for founders, investors, operators, creatives, independent talent and remote workers. Membership includes the gym, pool and spa at partner hotels, plus a place to work: Wi-Fi, a concierge on arrival, a coffee or drink on us every visit and rooms to meet, booked in the app.

Create opens Friday, January 15, 2027, at three five-star hotels in Boston, and members learn the names first. The first 200 founding members pay $99 a month, kept for as long as they stay. After that it is $149. Joining the waitlist is free, you pay nothing until you are accepted, and applications are reviewed within 48 hours. Until January, the passes above are your best option.
