Paris hotels with indoor pools
Paris keeps its best pools underground — vaulted, quiet and warm, with the spa attached.
14 hotels in our database · Updated 19 Aug 2026
The classic Paris hotel pool is a stone-vaulted basement below a palace hotel: dramatic, warm, and often small. A handful of properties break the pattern with pools long enough to swim properly.
We score them on the same five criteria as everywhere else, so atmosphere alone does not carry a page: size, loungers and service count too.
Access rules in Paris are stricter than in most cities — several of these pools are for guests and spa members only.

5.5Auteuil · Indoor and Outdoor Art Deco
The Hôtel Molitor boasts two historic pools, an indoor and an outdoor, both dating back to the iconic 1920s Molitor baths.

- Are these pools heated year-round?
