Best Pool Hotels

Live rankings

The world's best hotel pools

Best Pool Hotels is a dedicated ranking of the world's best hotel pools — the pool itself is scored, not the hotel as a whole. Each hotel earns a Pool Score (0–10) from our editors across five pool-specific factors, blended with a live Meta Rating (0–100) built from Google and TripAdvisor guest ratings. The list is updated continuously as pools are re-verified and new guest ratings arrive.

Most travel publishers mention pools as one detail in broader hotel reviews. Here the pool is the entire rating: size, heating, season, views and water quality are verified against official sources before a hotel can be ranked.

24 hotels · 11 destinations

What these rankings cover

  • 24 hotels across 11 destinations, including Crete, Barcelona, Paris, London and more.
  • Five scoring factors: pool experience, heating, pool size, number of pools and external recognition.
  • Only hotels with pool facts verified against official and independent sources are eligible for ranking.
  • Pool Scores update when new evidence is verified; guest ratings refresh continuously from Google and TripAdvisor.
