Shreveport Hotels With a Pool Near the Casinos
Shreveport sits on the Red River across from Bossier City, and the casinos line both banks. The hotels on this page are not pool resorts in the holiday sense: they are mostly suite and chain hotels, and what they share is a pool you can use between two evenings at the tables. Only Hilton Shreveport is in the Riverfront District, connected to the Shreveport Convention Center, with a rooftop pool. The others sit west and south of downtown or near Shreveport Regional Airport, so you will drive to the casinos. I grouped them by pool type, guest score and what else the building offers.
Shreveport is the largest city in northwest Louisiana, built on the west bank of the Red River with Bossier City facing it on the east bank. Casinos and the Riverfront District give the river its evening life, while most hotels spread out along the interstates west and south of downtown.
Where to stay
Rooftop, indoor and seasonal pools compared
I sorted these nine hotels by the kind of pool they have, because in Shreveport that decides when you can swim. Two pools are seasonal, two are indoor, one is on a roof and one uses salt water. Home2 Suites By Hilton Shreveport leads on guest scores with 9.1, Hampton Inn & Suites Shreveport follows with 8.8, and La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Shreveport Airport has the most reviews, 1,131. Keep in mind that Louisiana casinos only admit guests aged 21 and over.
If you want to walk to the riverfront casinos, Hilton Shreveport is the only hotel on this list that makes it possible. It sits in the Riverfront District, connects directly to the Shreveport Convention Center and has a rooftop pool, on-site dining and spacious guestrooms. Guests rate it 8.4 from 267 reviews. A rooftop pool also makes sense here because downtown has little open space at street level, and you get a view over the Red River toward Bossier City. Every other hotel on this page needs a car or a taxi to reach the casinos, so weigh that against their larger suites.
Indoor pools matter in Shreveport for a reason many visitors forget: winters are mild but often too cool for an outdoor swim, and summer storms can close an outdoor pool for an afternoon. Hampton Inn & Suites Shreveport, rated 8.8, has an indoor pool, family suites and a daily buffet breakfast. Sleep Inn & Suites Shreveport West, rated 7.7, also has an indoor pool, plus a fitness center, a microwave and fridge in the room and free private parking. Both are useful if your trip falls between November and March, when the outdoor pools in town are less inviting.
For longer stays, the all-suite hotels win. Home2 Suites By Hilton Shreveport, the best-rated hotel here at 9.1, has suites with kitchenettes, a saltwater pool, a fitness center, an outdoor fireplace, a lounge and a minimarket. Homewood Suites by Hilton Shreveport, rated 8.2, gives you a fully equipped kitchen, an outdoor pool, a 24-hour fitness center and an outdoor sports court, and it serves breakfast and an evening reception. If you plan several nights of casino visits, cooking breakfast in the suite and swimming in the afternoon makes the days less tiring than eating every meal out.
Near the airport and the west side, three hotels keep things simple. La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Shreveport Airport, the most reviewed hotel on this page with 1,131 reviews and a score of 8.3, has suites, an outdoor pool, a fitness center and free breakfast. Residence Inn Shreveport Airport has family rooms with kitchenettes, a seasonal outdoor pool and a barbecue area, while Clarion Pointe Shreveport West, rated 8.6, has a seasonal outdoor pool, a free continental breakfast and a golf course and shopping nearby. Holiday Inn Express Hotel and Suites Shreveport South Park Plaza, rated 7.3, also has an outdoor pool.
A traveler's takeIf I were planning a few casino nights in Shreveport, I would book Hilton Shreveport for its location: it is in the Riverfront District, connected to the Shreveport Convention Center, and its rooftop pool looks out over the Red River toward Bossier City. My advice for a longer stay is Home2 Suites By Hilton Shreveport instead, rated 9.1, with a saltwater pool and a kitchenette, accepting the drive to the river.
