Top of the World: Skyscraper Hotels with a Rooftop Pool

“Huge skies, mesmerising views, endless horizons – seeing the world from up high can be truly breath-taking. So if you’re looking to take a break and find a fresh perspective, check out these five skyscraper hotels with rooftop pools where the real world will feel a million miles away.

Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
—————————

The jaw-dropping infinity pool that sits 57 storeys above the city is quite rightly shouted about as one of the most Instagrammable swimming spots in the world. Spanning the top of three soaring towers, it’s almost as spectacular viewed from the ground. But why stay down at street-level when you could be floating and sipping cocktails up above it all? At the Marina Bay Sands hotel you can experience this sky-high landmark for yourself.

Thompson Hotel, Toronto
———————–

What could be more magical than gliding through the water while you watch the glittering lights of the city twinkle below? With a summertime stay at the Thompson Hotel in Toronto you can take in a 360-degree view of this Canadian hotspot while you swim. From the iconic CN tower to the waters of Lake Ontario, you’ll have the city’s top locations mapped out before you, plus all of downtown Toronto’s attractions just a short walk away.

Hotel Indigo, Hong Kong
———————–

If you fancy taking your holiday experience beyond relaxing by the pool with the occasional dip, you could add a little dash of drama to your getaway with a room at the Hotel Indigo in Hong Kong. At first sight, the pool on the hotel’s 27th floor is impressive enough. But take the plunge and you’ll see that the end of the pool also has a glass floor and juts out from the building, giving a spectacular view of the streets below.

Dubai Creek Hilton, Dubai
————————-

With a panoramic view of one the world’s most impressive skylines, the pool at the top of the Dubai Creek Hilton is a stunning location for splashing about or simply sitting back and relaxing. If you’re shopped out or want to get away from the city, the view from this rooftop pool gives you a totally fresh perspective on the glitz of Dubai. Watching the sun set on the soaring tower of the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building, is an experience not to be missed.

Four Seasons Hotel New York
—————————

New York has one of the most recognisable skylines in the world, but if you want to be able to take it all in, you’ll need a room with a view. In the heart of Midtown Manhattan, the Four Seasons Hotel New York combines luxurious suites with incredible city vistas, including a number of rooms that look out over Central Park. Some suites even have a terrace, the perfect location for the hotel’s signature ‘Meals in the Sky’.”
