With a hotel there's no need to ask for the heating or look after the pool: you just go down for a swim. In Honfleur, warm water is found in a few spa hotels and rental houses around the Vieux Bassin. Here are the 5 hotels I've selected in Honfleur, all rated at least 8/10; I particularly recommend Le Clos de Grâce, Hôtel Antares & Spa and Hôtel La Fraîchette.
Each city has its own selection, with a page for each type of accommodation.
Places are ranked from highest to lowest rated. The yellow bubble shows the advertised water temperature, when it's known.

These places don't have a confirmed heated pool, but they do have a hot tub: the water is hot all year round. A good way to relax in the warm.
These places were suggested to us directly by their owners. The heated pool is declared by them; they don't yet have enough guest reviews to join the selection.
In my selection, the top-rated is Le Clos de Grâce (Boutique accommodation), with 10/10 (58 reviews · Expedia). Next come Hôtel Antares & Spa (8.6/10) and Hôtel La Fraîchette (9.5/10).
None of the places selected in Honfleur clearly advertises a pool heated all year round. Le Clos de Grâce, Hôtel Antares & Spa and La Ferme Saint-Siméon have an indoor pool, sheltered from the wind. Either way, ask for the heating dates before you book.
Advertised temperatures: 29 °C at Hôtel La Fraîchette. For the other places the temperature isn't published: ask the property.
The word "heated" on a booking page isn't enough. Every place must have a rating of at least 8/10 (or 4/5) and carries one of these four levels.
Guests mention the heated water in their reviews, with the season when they say so.
A journalist or guide who stayed there describes the heated pool.
The hotel or the platform says so, but I haven't yet found a review that confirms it.
Heating isn't specified, but the water is sheltered from the wind and cold air. Ask for the temperature before you book.
I left these out because guests report water colder than advertised, or because no heating or indoor pool is mentioned.
