Now that all of Madrid’s public pools and natural pools (located outside of Madrid) are opening for the summer season, everyone from tourists to locals are grabbing their sunscreen and towels and making a splash. But some downsides to public pools and indoor pools, like excessive children or an insufficient number of lounge chairs or space, may interfere with your well-deserved summertime leisure. If you’re looking for something a little more chic, you’ve come to the right place. These rooftop pools in Madrid are hidden all over the city, with many located on some of the city’s most popular hotel terraces.
Important: The majority of these rooftop pools are owned and operated by hotels. Because of this, many of the pools may be closed off to clients only. We advise that you contact each location to ask if they have any open offers for the public or reduced prices on rooms for groups.
1. Rooftop Pool at Hotel Emperador
The rooftop pool at the Hotel Emperador is quite impressive when it comes to skyline views of the city. Located on the 10th floor, the considerably large outdoor swimming pool is accompanied by a rooftop garden and looks out upon famous landmarks like the Gran Vía and the Royal Palace. There is also a snack bar, restaurant, and solarium with hammocks! Enjoy Madrid’s skyline while relaxing on one of the many lounge chairs and sipping on your third mojito.
2. Rooftop Pool at Edition Madrid
This incredibly chic rooftop pool belongs to one of Madrid’s newest hotels – The Edition. Tucked between one of the city’s busiest areas (Gran Vía & Sol), the terrace is impressively quiet, tranquil and fabulous. What makes this pool even more exclusive is the fact that it is indeed only for hotel guests. So, make sure you consider this hotel as your place to stay the next time you visit if you want to take a dip!
3. Rooftop Pool at Hotel Óscar
Hiding away in Chueca is a beautiful little pool club on the terrace of the Room Mate Óscar Hotel. Designed by the famous interior designer, Tomas Alia, the rooftop pool places you in a chic and relaxing atmosphere, all while offering 360-degree views of the city.
