New York City Hotels with Pools

4225

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!

Booking.com Follow NYC Insider Guide:

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.

Hotel Indigo Lower East Side

A trendy hotel, in one of the City’s hippest neighborhoods, the Hotel Indigo rooftop pool is definitely more for the party scene than those interested in doing laps. Enjoy sweeping NYC views from most rooms, and on the rooftop, while you sip a cocktail outside, dine at Mr. Purple or take a dip in the outdoor, heated pool.

The Beach at Dream Downtown

Yet another hip & trendy hotel pool in NYC, the Beach at Dream Downtown, a pool surrounded by sand, is a partier’s dream and consistently filled with private parties, models, tourists and locals. 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.
