The Wade's pool, fitness and wellness: what to know
The Wade has one indoor swimming pool (open year-round) and a complimentary 24-hour fitness center for guests. The hotel does not list an on-site spa under the current name; nearby third-party spas are available off-property.

Pool: what’s available and who can use it
The Wade features a single indoor swimming pool with lounge seating and an adjoining outdoor sun deck/terrace that offers city and lake views. The indoor pool is available for year-round swimming and is described as open daily.
At least one booking-aggregator describes the indoor pool as reserved for adults; the hotel's own marketing lists the pool but does not explicitly state an adults-only policy. If pool access or age restrictions matter to your stay, check with the front desk on arrival.

Fitness center: hours, equipment and classes
The Wade offers a complimentary 24-hour fitness center for hotel guests. Descriptions list weight-training machines and a range of modern cardio and resistance equipment.
The fitness center is described as accessible and suitable for general workouts; some sources note on-site fitness classes are available. If you need specific equipment or an accessibility accommodation, call ahead or ask the front desk on arrival.

Wellness and spa options: on-site and nearby
The Wade’s current marketing does not list an in-house spa operating under the hotel’s present name. Marriott materials reference nearby third-party wellness venues such as Freeze & Float and Aire Ancient Baths rather than an on-site branded spa.
If you expect massage, facial, or larger spa facilities, plan to book with a nearby provider; the front desk or concierge can provide recommendations and reservations. Past reviews referenced a spa when the property was previously branded, but that does not confirm a current on-site spa under The Wade name.
- No confirmed on-site spa brand listed under The Wade
- Concierge can help arrange nearby spa treatments
- Some former W-branded spa references appear in older guest reviews
| Option | Where to book |
|---|---|
| On-site spa | Not confirmed under The Wade name — check concierge |
| Nearby third-party spas | Ask front desk for recommendations and bookings |
Rooms and wellness features to request
Rooms at The Wade include Room, City View; Suite, 1 Bedroom, Lake View; Premium Room, Lake View; and Room, Lake View. Many rooms offer city or lake views and features that may matter for rest and recovery (banquettes, tubs, walk-in showers).
If you want specific wellness comforts, request them when you book or at check-in: accessible rooms, bathtubs or a room away from elevator shafts/ice machines (recent reviews note noise near those areas). The front desk can confirm which room types offer bathtubs or built-in tubs.

Pool etiquette, hours and accessibility

The pool area is described as having wheelchair-accessible entries. If you require an accessible route, notify the hotel ahead of arrival so staff can confirm pool access arrangements and any equipment you may need.
- Typical reported pool hours: about 5:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. (confirm on arrival)
- Wheelchair-accessible pool access reported in hotel materials
- Ask front desk about towel service and pool-deck rules

Practical tips: planning fitness and wellness during your stay
Bring or pack what you need: while the fitness center is equipped with standard cardio and weight equipment, specialty items (yoga mats, bands) may not be provided. If you need instructors or classes beyond what’s listed, contact the hotel before arrival.
When reserving a room, note the 21+ minimum check-in age for the primary guest. Also confirm Wi‑Fi access policy (sources conflict on whether it’s complimentary) and valet parking details if you plan to drive — valet-only parking is offered and recent guest reports list a nightly charge on booking sites.
- Call the hotel for current pool rules, hours and any adult-only enforcement
- Confirm whether Wi‑Fi is complimentary for your rate
- If driving, prepare for valet-only parking (check price at time of booking)
