Indoor, Outdoor, Incredible Views, Cocktails, Lounge Decks
New York City hotels with pools are pretty rare, and a special treat for any local or visitor. Poolside at a hotel will likely conjure the image of a resort, beach balls being thrown and kids playing…but NOT in NYC!
Our hotel pools are mostly adult party zones with skyline views, cocktails, private cabanas and summer long pool parties, depending on the day of the week. We do have a few pools that are family-friendly, and/or designed for your exercise laps, so keep reading to learn more about which NYC hotel pool is right for you and your family.
For locals looking for a staycation, many of the hotels offer pool and spa day passes, so you can "escape" the city for a day while you relax and recharge.
Gansevoort Park Avenue
The Gansevoort Park Avenue, in a great NYC location, offers a hip and trendy year-round indoor/outdoor heated pool with a perfect view of the Empire State Building, complemented by two floors of adjacent bars and lounges.
Both Gansevoort Hotels lean toward the party crowd, rather than kids or families, and often host private, VIP parties.

Hotel Gansevoort Meatpacking
The Hotel Gansevoort Meatpacking pool has a retractable roof, with indoor winter and outdoor summer swimming, both connected to the popular Plunge Rooftop Lounge, also indoors and outdoors. The view from the Gansevoort Meatpacking rooftop is one of my favorites, stretching across to NJ and all the way uptown.

The Dream Downtown was once the National Maritime Union headquarters, and maintains its maritime theme by looking like a ship from the outside and windows like portholes.
