The Best Hotels with Pools in Rome
The Eternal City and central Italy generally swelter in the summer months. Good news for getting a tan, less good news if you’re trailing the Tiber, ticking off sights. Luckily, Rome has lush parks and tree-framed courtyards, where overheated travellers can chill out and cool off – plus these hip hotels with pools, bookable with Culture Trip.
1. Palazzo Dama
Boutique Hotel
Around the corner of the Piazza del Popolo, with its sun-splashed obelisk and gargoyle-graced fountains, this primped palazzo looks out over the Tiber. Its courtyard garden makes you forget your city surrounds – especially at the outdoor pool, shaded by olive and lemon trees. Come nightfall, retreat to one of the high-ceilinged suites with velvet-veiled beds and restful blackout curtains.
2. Villa Agrippina Gran Meliá
Hotel, Spa Hotel
For culture lovers who come to Rome to visit the Vatican Museums, this luxury hotel is the perfect basecamp. After a long day of art- and architecture-musing in Vatican City, you can slump poolside on a daybed or cool down at one of the villa’s many indoor and outdoor pools. For ultimate post-sightseeing relaxation, book a treatment at the spa, overseen by luxe brand Clarins.
3. Rome Cavalieri
Hotel, Luxury
5. The Aleph Hotel
Hotel
Cooling down in a pool after a long day is great, but, at times, you need something more to unwind. The Aleph Hotel offers a hammam-style wellness hub that includes a thermal pool and a sauna, clad in marble mosaics. You can also let off some steam in the rooftop pool, looking out over Rome’s jumbled rooftops, then settle in for some well-deserved rest in one of the soothing, sand-coloured rooms with marble floors and sculpted ceilings.
6. Palazzo Naiadi
Hotel
7. Cristoforo Colombo
Hotel
Strategically set in Rome’s Esposizione Universale Roma (EUR) district, between the city centre and Fiumicino airport, Hotel Cristoforo Colombo is a great option for travellers on a budget who don’t want to splash out on the price but do want a pool – here, surrounded by sunbeds and a marble-clad bar. Rooms are restful, too: dressed in botanical greens and flower motifs throughout.
8. H10 Hotel Città
Hotel
This affordable hotel blends a prime position close to Marconi metro station with an upscale rooftop pool and jacuzzi. While you swim and chill, look out over the Ostiense neighbourhood with its Meccano-like Gazometro tower and street-food stops, including Puglian-hailing PuRo and Roman-purists Sorrisi e Caffè. Besides the pool, guests can also enjoy the wellness centre, a gym and a Turkish bath.
9. Parco dei Principi
Boutique Hotel
If you’re looking for a swagged-out Roman stay, this stylish hotel is for you. Designed by world-famous Italian architect Gio Ponti and located next to Villa Borghese, Parco dei Principi offers all-out luxury amid velvet-clad interiors. The crystal chandeliers and marble fireplaces are straight out of the 18th century, the outdoor pool looks out over a lush garden, and the indoor version comes with a Finnish sauna and a Turkish bath.
