Even though Texas is a warm weather state, it's not difficult to find hotels that offer guests an indoor, heated pool. The mean temperature in Texas in winter is one of the warmest in the nation -- 52.3 in Austin, 52.5 in San Antonio and 53.6 in Houston. Nevertheless, the convenience of an indoor pool allows hotel guests to swim on a whim and in comfort, even on rainy days.
