Why it's on the list
The Berkeley offers two distinctive pools. The Rooftop Pool is a 25-metre heated outdoor pool located high above Knightsbridge, providing panoramic views across Hyde Park and the city skyline. It is open during spring and summer. The hotel also provides access to Surrenne Belgravia’s indoor heated pool, which is an adults-only facility with underwater meditation soundscapes.
Why it's not higher
The rooftop pool is seasonal, open only in spring and summer. While the indoor spa pool is adults-only, specific opening hours for either pool are not provided.
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
The official website and web articles confirm a seasonal, heated, 25-metre rooftop pool with city and Hyde Park views, suitable for families. Google Places and web sources also indicate an indoor pool within the Surrenne Belgravia spa, which is described as adults-only in one web source, and available to hotel guests.
