In short: The luxurious apartment hotel 137 Pillars Bangkok has not one, but two of the coolest rooftop pools you can find, both in Bangkok and in the world.
What we say: Two of our favorite rooftop pools in the world! On the 27th floor you find an amazing rooftop infinity pool with dazzling city views and a perfect place to enjoy a beautiful sunset. This rooftop pool is open to all guests staying at the hotel, and the pool area is also equipped with a stylish rooftop bar. A couple of floors above, there is an even more impressive (and more exclusive) rooftop pool, floating in the air high above the Bangkok skyline.
In short: The elegant SO/ Bangkok comes with an equally elegant infinity pool. A Bangkok rooftop pool that really lives up to the hype. Stepping out on the 10th floor terrace you only see an endless stretch of water, and then the magical, urban Bangkok far behind. And if you look down, the Lumphini Park, located right in front of the hotel.
What we say: With 32 meters of pure perfection, the rooftop pool is free for guests staying at the hotel, but it's also available to the public through the Wellness Daypass. Apart from access to the infinity pool, the ticket also includes fitness and sauna facilities. In between dips, you can browse the menu at The Water Club, featuring a classic pool bar selection of sandwiches, pizza, pasta, burgers and Thai dishes, as well as signature cocktails, premium imported beers and wines.
In short: Home to the elegant Barracuda Rooftop Bar, where all can enjoy fanciful cocktails and elevated bites nightly, the lovely Akara Hotel Bangkok also offers a more exclusive terrace with a rooftop pool and a spectacular view.
What we say: The beautiful 17th floor rooftop pool is truly an oasis in the bustling city, where stylish and comfy loungers are lined up along the glittering water, overlooking the Bangkok skyline. Open from sunrise to the daily sun-downer cocktail ritual.
In short: On the 25th floor of the Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 4, you find a truly amazing rooftop venue. By day, it is a tranquil oasis for hotel guests to enjoy panoramic views and the fantastic rooftop infinity pool.
What we say: Located in the heart of one of Bangkok's hottest business and entertainment district, Novotel Bangkok Sukhumvit 4 is a fantastic choice to combine daytime poolside relaxation with night time fun. Equipped with comfy sunbeds and red umbrellas, this is a spot easy to spend hour upon hour. Grab some snacks and a drink from the rooftop bar and swim away high above the bustling Bangkok streets below.
In short: The superb Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok blends raw, urban intensity with a light-hearted spirit and distinguished design, right in the heart of Bangkok’s buzzing city centre.
What we say: By no means the highest venue at Kimpton Maa-Lai Bangkok (that honor belongs to the 40th floor Bar.Yard), the third floor pool terrace is still a highly majestic spot, where you are surrounded with lush local floras and potted plants, as well as lovely views over the Langsuan oasis.
In short: At the luxurious and elegant The Okura Prestige you find one of the most amazing rooftop infinity pools Bangkok has to offer. Quite rightfully, it is not part of a terrace, but has its very own external part of the building.
What we say: The perfect rooftop pool for luxury above Bangkok! 25 meters long and surrounded with comfy sun loungers and umbrellas, this rooftop pool and lounge is a magnificent spot for some elevated relaxation. Either in the sun or in the shade, and with the swimming pool always heated to a pleasant temperature.
In short: Sivatel's rooftop pool Bangkok is located on the 8th floor of the hotel. Its 22 meters are combined with a pool bar to grab a drink while indulging in some divine relaxation in the water.
What we say: Another divine spot with an endless pool and high-end service.The panoramic view of Bangkok is just the added bonus to the overall luxurious rooftop pool experience at the five star Sivatel Bangkok.
In short: The luxurious Amara Bangkok hotel is an exciting 250-room property that offers spectacular views of the Bangkok skyline. Praised to be the ultimate choice for business needs and sight-seeing musts.
What we say: This one ranks amongst the most desirable locations for a rooftop swim in Bangkok. The infinity pool at Amara Bangkok, surrounded by urban architecture and endless blue sky, lets you do some sunbathing while relaxing with a cocktail by the pool.
In short: AVANI Riverside Hotel can boost of with an amazing Bangkok rooftop infinity pool. 28 meters long, and while chilling by the edge you get magical city views, right next to the river running through the city.
What we say: If you are a fan of infinity pools, this 26th floor beauty is the place to visit among the rooftop pools in Bangkok. The swimming pool is only available for the guest at the hotel – like almost all rooftop pools located at hotels are.
In short: Bangkok Marriott Hotel The Surawongse is nestled in one of Bangkok’s oldest heritage communities, and this superb hotel comes with both a fantastic Chinese inspired rooftop restaurant and bar (called Yao Rooftop), as well as an amazing rooftop infinity pool.
What we say: Here you can really swim towards the edge and feel like you will continue out into the Bangkok skyline. Behind the pool there is a long line of comfy sun loungers and cabanas, set to overlook the pool and the fantastic views.
In short: While the very top floors of The Standard in Bangkok is home to rooftop dining and drinking, including Sky Beach (the highest rooftop bar in town), this superb and modern hotel still offers elevated swims with a view.
What we say: Tucked away in a lush and serene poolscape, surrounded with panoramics over the city, The Pool has all the things you need for prime and relaxing hours under the Bangkok sun, or on a lounge in the shade.
In short: Found in the heart of Bangkok’s premier business, shopping and entertainment district, Eastin Grand Hotel Sathorn is also directly connected to the BTS Sky Train at Surasak Station.
What we say: Stretching over pretty much all of the rooftop terrace, this infinity pool Bangkok really takes you on a sky-high level with the city skyline. In between the panoramic swims you can get comfy in on a sun bed, or in the round rattan cabanas right by the pool.
In short: Located in the heart of the prestigious Sukhumvit Road, Hilton Sukhumvit Bangkok does not only hold a prime location, it also has a magnificent and luxurious rooftop infinity pool.
What we say: The decor on the terrace is modern and uncluttered, with comfy sun loungers and sofas, both in the sun and under shelter. One thing that is definitely open-air is the rooftop pool, where you can swim straight out to panoramic views over the Bangkok skyline.
