As summer heatwaves rise to full force, many of us will find ourselves sweating before even arriving at work. Swimming can provide the ideal way to cool off while taking in breathtaking city skyline views – no matter if it is experienced or new.

Attractive hotel pools can be breathtaking sights in themselves, so why not soak up some sun with your drink in hand and let all your stress drain away?

JW Marriott in Admiralty boasts an outdoor heated pool that is truly spectacular with stunning Victoria Harbour and skyscraper views surrounding you, making for a breathtaking swimming experience. To add to that pleasure is their al fresco Fish Bar and Pool Lounge right beside it where you can refuel before or after taking a dip.

Terry Farrell’s award-winning design took more than eight years to construct. Boasting Olympic-sized pool and two smaller ones as well as a rooftop terrace and an outdoor jacuzzi, the spaceship-like complex makes the wait well worth your while.

Guests not staying at the hotel may purchase a Fitness Centre & Swimming Pool Day Pass for just HK$198 to access both pools, gym, lounge area and enjoy 20% discounts off food and beverages at Fish Bar. This pass can be purchased weekdays or weekends.

At 211 meters above sea level, WET at W Hong Kong boasts the highest rooftop pool in town – making it the go-to spot for locals hosting some of Hong Kong’s hottest parties! Additionally, it boasts an elegant outdoor jacuzzi and stunning cityscape views from its terrace, plus tables and chairs where visitors can unwind over drinks with family or friends.

One downside of swimming laps here may be shallow waters; however, the location makes this not matter much — especially with an escalator to get back up after your swim and head to a bar for post-swim refreshment!
