The 15 best hotels in London with a pool

Crescent Pavilion Penthouse
Infinity Sky Pool
Deluxe Suite

A swim is one of the nicest ways to unwind after a day in London. The best hotels in London with a pool make that easy. I chose each one for the quality of its pool, not just the fact that it has one.

No two are alike. Some are on rooftops or high above the city, with sweeping views across London's skyline. Others sit within luxury spas, some of them underground, perfect for a quiet morning swim or a few proper lengths. Several are family-friendly too, so children can enjoy the water while parents relax.

You'll find them across central London, in Knightsbridge, Mayfair, Covent Garden, Leicester Square and the City. There are more in Marylebone, Shoreditch and by London Bridge, too.
