We take a look at all the best Singapore hotels with rooftop pools, so you can kick back and enjoy a swim with a view after all that sightseeing.
One thing Singapore does very well is rooftop swimming pools. You’ve all probably seen a million photos of the Marina Bay Sands rooftop pool, but that is just the tip of the iceberg.
There are plenty of other lesser known rooftop swimming pools in Singapore (and let’s be honest, at hotels that are a fraction of the price of a room at Marina Bay Sands).
That’s right – you don’t even have to stay in ridiculous luxury to benefit from a rooftop pool in Singapore – even some reasonably priced hotels have stunning rootop pools that you can indulge in.
So if you’re keen to chill out at a rootop pool and admire the view after a hard day of sightseeing in Singapore, check out our recommendations below.

Marina Bay Sands
No article about rooftop swimming pools in Singapore would be complete without the most famous swimming pool of all: Marina Bay Sands.
This iconic hotel is an incredible architectural masterpiece made even more famous by its jaw-dropping rooftop infinity pool, which boasts panoramic views of the city. Experiencing this rooftop pool (and snapping a few shots for the ‘gram) is almost worth the price tag of the room alone.
You also have a choice of rooftop restaurants and bars, luxurious rooms with city or ocean views and a luxury shopping mall on the doorstep.

Fullerton Bay Hotel
The sensational Fullerton Bay Hotel will blow you away with its chic and sleek interior design. From the moment you walk through the doors of this beautiful 5-star hotel, you are immersed in opulence, from the scent of lilies and gardenias to the sparkling mosaic floors and glittering oversized chandeliers.
But what we really love about this luxury Singapore hotel is its rooftop swimming pool and bar. Despite being just 8 floors up, it boasts incredible Marina Bay views, including unbeatable views of the iconic Marina Bay Sands.
It also benefits from a prime location right on the waterfront, within easy walking distance of the Merlion and with direct access to a choice of restaurants at Customs House.

Pan Pacific Orchard
The groundbreaking architectural design and sustainability credentials invited much excitement and publicity when the Pan Pacific Orchard opened in mid-2023.
Towering 23 stories over Orchard Road, there are four landscaped open-air terraces to discover: Forest, Beach, Garden, and Cloud. Our favourite pick (naturally) is Beach, the outdoor lagoon-style swimming pool surrounded by tropical foliage and with views over the city.
Got cash to splash? Book into one of ten Beach Club Pool Access Lofts for the ultimate rooftop urban beach holiday experience.

Artyzen Singapore
The recently opened design hotel Artyzen Singpaore has won an abundance of awards for its architecture and design. See our photo tour of Artyzen Singapore to see why.
The piece de resistance of this new hotel is arguably the rooftop pool, bar and lounging area, with its views over the West Orchard Road neighbourhood.
The 25-metre cantilevered infinity pool with a partially transparent base offers fantastic views from its 21st-floor perch. It even has a glass bottom so brave swimmers can wave to their friends down below!
Situated in a prime location, Artyzen Singapore is conveniently close to Orchard Road’s bustling shopping district and major embassies. It is also just steps away from the UNESCO-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens.

While you can enjoy all the usual trappings of a luxury hotel here – luxurious rooms and suites, high-end restaurants and facilities, our favourite feature is the swimming pool.
The 25-metre infinity-edged pool, with soaring Doric columns as a backdrop, presides over the Singapore River from its 4th-floor rooftop position.

The Westin Singapore
High above the office buildings in the heart of the financial district, the Westin is known as one of Singapore’s best business hotels. It has spacious comfortable rooms and excellent onsite restaurants and business facilities.

Courtyard Singapore Novena
Slightly further out of the city, close to Novena MRT, the Courtyard by Marriott offers great value accommodation. Its contemporary rooms offer panoramic cityscape views via floor-to-ceiling windows, and there are also stunning views to be had from the 24-hour gym and all-day restaurant.
But in our opinion, the best views are always enjoyed poolside with a cocktail in hand. And this is possible at the Courtyard thanks to the rooftop infinity pool and Las Palmas poolside bar.
Kick back on a sun lounger or book one of the private cabanas and enjoy cocktails and snacks from the classic Americana, Mexican and Southern Californian menu.

Como Metropolitan Orchard

Novotel Singapore on Stevens
Slightly further off the beaten tourist track but just a 10-minute walk to the Stevens MRT station, the Novotel on Stevens has a wealth of facilities to offer.
There’s a 24-hour fitness centre, tennis court, kids’ room, and laundromat on-site, in addition to a restaurant and bar. But what we really care about, of course, is its impressive rooftop pool.
Swim some laps, relax on a lounger or order up some Southeast cuisine from the Food Exchange restaurant poolside.

QT Singapore – opening September 2024
