What it means

What does "in-room jacuzzi" actually mean in a hotel?

An in-room jacuzzi means the jetted tub or hot tub is inside your own hotel room or on its private terrace, for your use only. It is not a shared spa, wellness pool or communal hot tub used by other guests. The water feature belongs to your room, so you can use it whenever you like, in private.

It sounds obvious, but it is the single biggest thing people get wrong when booking. Plenty of listings say jacuzzi or hot tub when they mean a shared spa down the corridor, or a wellness area on a booking slot. An in-room jacuzzi is yours: it sits in your room or on your attached private terrace, and no one else uses it.

When you book directly, look for the room type that names the jacuzzi, hot tub or plunge pool, and check the photos show it on a private balcony or inside the room rather than in a communal spa. On Upgrade Suites we confirm exactly this with the property before a suite goes on the site, which is the whole point of what we do.

How can I tell if the jacuzzi is in the room before booking?+
Look for the room type that names the jacuzzi, hot tub or plunge pool, and check the photos show it on a private terrace or inside the room rather than in a shared spa. Our listings are pre-checked for this.
Does in-room mean indoors?+
Not necessarily. It means private to your room, which often includes an attached private terrace or balcony. Many of the best ones are open-air but still entirely yours.
