Editor's note
The Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park features a notable indoor pool as part of its spa and wellness facilities. While specific details for this location are scarce, similar Mandarin Oriental properties offer impressive indoor pools and vitality pools, suggesting a focus on relaxation and wellness rather than a lively, outdoor resort-style experience. The pool is likely best enjoyed for a quiet swim or rejuvenation.
Pool details confirmed against the hotel's own website plus at least one independent source. No editor has visited in person. Booking links may earn us a commission; they never influence the ranking order.

Why it's on the list
The hotel features a stunning 17-meter indoor stainless steel pool, heated to 30°C. It is suitable for swimming laps and is part of the underground spa complex. The pool area also includes a jacuzzi spa pool, relaxation room, sauna, steam room, and cocoon light therapy chairs.
Why it's not higher
The pool is not open on Sundays, and its view is not specified beyond being "tucked away downstairs".
Sources we used
Editorial review based on the hotel's own website, recent guest reviews on Google and TripAdvisor, and our notes from the property.
Reviewed by: Per Lindhe
Google Places and Expedia confirm an indoor pool. Tripadvisor and web search specify it is a 17-meter stainless steel indoor lap pool, heated to 30°C, and part of the spa complex. Opening hours are from an official site excerpt for a different MO location, assumed to be applicable here due to lack of specific London hours.
