rooftop pools

High-rise aquatics

Rooftop pools are swimming pools built on the top of buildings, typically hotels or luxury apartment complexes.

They combine recreation with urban views and have become markers of upscale amenities: The hotel's rooftop pool overlooks the city skyline.

The term evokes a certain lifestyle aspiration—leisure elevated above street level.
